Polarity pattern:
Cardioid
Cardioid microphones are unidirectional microphones with
a cardioid polar pattern, which means a higher sensitivity to
sounds coming from the front and, on the contrary, a minimum
sensitivity to sounds coming from the rear, where a gradual
attenuation takes place.
This heart shape is obtained by leaving the diaphragm free
at the front and building acoustic labyrinths at the back.
Cardiod microphones offer the best frequency response at mid frequencies. The bass is more dispersed,
while the high frequencies become more directional.
As the cardioid mic can reach a preferred angle of 181°, they are ideal for general sound pick-up from a
frontal point of view. In addition, cardioid mics support spaced sources, unlike two-way mics.
One thing to note about cardioid mics, however, is that feedback can occur if there is a rear-firing
loudspeaker.
Cardioid polarity pattern is recommended for use in podcasting, streaming, voice recording, etc.

Gain
In a microphone, gain can usually be described as its sensitivity. Increasing the gain will increase the
sensitivity of your microphone and allow you to pick up lower sounds.
Considering the nature of gain, and that it is the strength of the input signal, altering the gain begins to
affect the recording volume at specific thresholds. Furthermore, gain can affect the recording volume
because it is the input strength, but volume cannot affect gain because it is the output strength.
Since volume changes the strength of a signal after it has been processed, changing the volume does
not affect the tone itself and only alters its loudness.
Gain on the other hand is the input dB and therefore gain alters the strength of a signal before it is
processed. This means that changing the gain changes the signals that the audio device works with and
processes. Therefore, gain can make a difference to the very characteristics of a sound.
To adjust the gain, simply turn the first "GAIN" knob to the left or right.

INSTALLATION
To use Kaliope fully, insert the USB cable into the PC and its corresponding connector into the
microphone. You will be able to control its functions by means of the built-in buttons as well as being
able to control its additional values by means of the operating system and/or additional software (OBS,
Streamlabs, Audacity...).
Kaliope does not require additional software to work.

ENGLISH
To ensure that Kaliope is configured correctly, please follow these steps
In Windows 10/11 go to System > Sound and
select Kaliope in the input section.
If we click on the right arrow we can enter the
properties and set it as default use and control the
volume (not gain) of the microphone.

MONITORING FUNCTION
/ HEADPHONES
If we connect headphones to the built-in output, we can have a monitoring function, i.e. we can listen
both to what is played on the PC and to what is picked up by the microphone. To control the volume of
the microphone, just use the wheel integrated in the microphone.
This function is very useful to detect if we are talking too loud or too quiet, highly recommended
for online games and for streaming or podcasting, it helps us to maintain a regular tone although
it may experience some discomfort when using it the first few times.
