1.To solve the problem of current noise in the audio interface
- Please do not hold the microphone by hand, please fix the microphone on the stand.
- Check the connection status of the cable and the microphone interface is firmly connected.
- Do not use a hub! First change the computer USB port connected by the audio interface, if it is a desktop computer, please connect to the USB port on the back of the host.
- The noise of the audio interface itself or the environmental noise in normal use, the solution is to use it in a quieter environment.
- The microphone gain is too high or the environment is noisy, causing the ambient noise picked up by the microphone to exceed the audio interface's noise reduction threshold. The solution is to reduce the microphone gain.
- The interface of the computer device you are using is old or poorly grounded, or the power circuit connected to it is old, causing leakage and continuous current noise. Please try another computer device in a different environment or switch to a mobile phone for testing.
- Electronic devices with strong radiated signals in the vicinity of the microphone, for example: wireless routers/video lamps, will produce interference noise. Please use the microphone in a different environment, for example: if the current location is the living room, please use it in the bedroom instead.
- The noise caused by software incompatibility, please change to use the computer recorder for recording, and close third-party software to avoid software conflicts or noise caused by effects.
- If you use it on a mobile device, Apple devices must use MFI-certified cables, and other brands should use original cables as much as possible.
- If none of the above solves the problem, please record audio and take photos or videos of the audio cable connection. Send them to us so we can assess your problem

5V / 140mA-0.8W
9. Why the microphone XLR mode can not use the knob to control the sound, switch the sound effects
- USB mode and XLR mode are completely separate, control the sound, light function is controlled by the USB mode, need power to use
- XLR mode output for the pure original sound, switch and sound effects by the sound card control
10. Microphone has obvious humming sound
- Microphone gain is too high, the microphone is sensitive, resulting in picking up more ambient sound, please reduce the microphone gain, it will improve the sound quality
- PD200X is a condenser microphone, the microphone is sensitive, the microphone will pick up ambient sound while bringing more sound details, please keep a distance from your computer, cooling fan rotation and operation will generate noise
- USB port or data cable is bad, please replace the connection cable or USB jack (desktop computer please connect to the USB port behind the case)
