1. Display: This display shows the current polar pattern (Pattern) and last setting (Mic Gain or
Headphone Volume) that you adjusted on the microphone.
2. Headphone Volume: Turn this knob to adjust the volume of the headphone output.
3. Mute: Press this button to mute or unmute the microphone signal sent to your computer. This button
will flash while muted and be solidly lit while unmuted. (When muted, you will still hear the microphone
signal if the Mic-USB knob is turned toward Mic, but be assured that Uber Mic is not sending audio to
your computer.)
4. Mic-USB: Turn this knob to adjust the blend of the signals sent to the headphone output. Turn it
toward Mic to hear more of the microphone signal, or turn it toward USB to hear more of your
computer's output signal.
Tip: If you are playing audio on your computer and not using the microphone, we recommend turning
this knob fully toward the USB setting.
5. Power Light: This name badge will illuminate when Uber Mic is powered on.
6. Pattern Selector: Turn this knob to select the microphone's polar pattern, which determines how the
microphone picks up sound in its surrounding environment. See the following
Patterns section to learn more about this.
7. Mic Gain: Turn this knob to adjust the level of the signal the microphone sends to your computer. Set
this knob so the gain is at a "healthy" level but not so high that the signal "clips" or peaks, causing
distortion in the audio.
Note: "Clipping" is indicated by your software's volume level meter exceeding 0 dB and usually turning red.
8. Headphone Output: Connect 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo headphones to this output to listen to the audio
signal from the microphone and/or your computer. Use the Headphone Volume knob to adjust the
volume level. Use the Mic-USB knob to adjust the blend of the two signals.
Note: When using voice chat applications, do not connect the Headphone output to powered
speakers. This can result in an acoustic feedback loop or poor conversation quality.
9. Mini-USB Port: Use a standard mini-USB cable (included) to connect this port to a USB port on your
computer (if you connect it to a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub). The computer's USB port
provides ample power to Uber Mic. Uber Mic is class-compliant, so you do not need to install any
additional drivers.
