When you connect the microphone, the blue LEDs integrated into the microphone should light up. They indicate that you have connected the microphone correctly.
Make sure that the AKG Perception 120 USB is set as the recording device and your sound card as the playback device. To do this, check the audio properties of your operating system. There is a detailed description in the
operating instructions.
Check that your audio software has the correct audio settings. For further information, see the documentation of your audio software.
Speak into the microphone from in front of it. The front of the microphone is the side of the housing with the AKG logo. The microphone should be 20 to 40 cm from the speaker's mouth in order to obtain the best results.
Now set the level of the USB microphone to reduce unwanted noise and avoid unpleasant microphone overload. For a detailed description, see chapter 4 of the
operating instructions.
