I bought the microphone and I'm getting huge background noise. How do I reduce this?

Use Audacity. It's free and under the "Effect" menu, you can use the noise removal option which will take out all background noise.

If you are recording your voice, turn the second switch with the lines to the straight line, and the first switch turned to 0 to reduce background noise. If that doesn't work I would simply try recording in a quieter, smaller space.

There is a knob to adjust the sensitivity of the microphone that will help reduce the pickup of ambient noise. You can also move the controller closer to your music source.

Hey, you might have the volume tuned up too high on your headset which could cause that problem. If you're doing other things while using the headset it can distort the sound because it's sensitive much like a Bluetooth. You could be too far away from the base or you might have the mic too far away from your mouth. The only other thing I can think of is, it's not your headset at all it's them because you can hear them find!

Dont use the software it comes with. Let windows load its own. In Audacity click on the overdub and play through in preferences. You may also need to go to sounds in control panel and unmute it.

Yes.... Its going to be difficult to avoid ambient noise unless you can set up backdrops and wind socks to absorb some of the extraneous sounds. This is a great mic. You can try using lavalier mics, use wind socks etc and should help a lot

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

I have same problem and sick and tied of this microphone. It is not worth a penny to spend for it. Very much frustrated and I do not know what to do.

Try putting a barrier between the audio or speaker cable to your power cables. Or don't let both cables, run side by side for it will create interference, such as distortion noise. Using a power conditioner helps a lot.

I've never had any complaints from others about background noise when I've used my mic. But I don't know how much noise you may have to deal with.

These are garbage, i had the same problem with both. You can try adjusting your mic settings in the control panel but that didn't help me.

I believe the problem to this is that your microphone is transmitting with auto-adjust. This means if you are to loud it turns down the voice and if your to quiet it turns it up. Somewhere in recording devices you can turn it off.

I have the same problem, i have no solution to it i have learned to tune out the noise and raise the volume sorry if that doesn't help.

There is a microphone mute switch on the volume control. Muted sound has to be done via hotkey/desktop action/etc.

In order for the mic to be sensitive enough to pick up sounds at a distance, there is no avoiding background noise. This is very different than a mic that is kept close to your mouth, for example. Your best bet is to put in sound deadeners, like carpets and curtains, as it is the reflected sound that really increases the noise.

Yes the shielding on it sucks I don't use the mic any more. You can try and use a better XLR for it it helps a little

Move the microphone receiver box to another location, or move the antennas to a different position, and see if that helps. Chances are that the noise you hear is interference from some other electronic device close by.

I don't use mine anymore due to the feedback created when I connected two microphones to it. I suggest ensuring you can return it if not satisfied.
