Microphone Gain refers to the adjustment of the input signal’s strength so that the sound picked up by the microphone reaches an appropriate volume level. The purpose of gain is to amplify the original sound signal received by the microphone, making it clear and loud enough for subsequent audio processing and output.
-
Key Points for Adjusting Gain:
-
Gain Too Low: The sound will seem weak or muffled and may also include background noise.
-
Gain Too High: It will lead to sound distortion, causing clipping or peaking, especially at high volumes.
-
How to Adjust the Gain:
-
In Lower Environmental Volume: Increase the gain to enhance the microphone's sensitivity, allowing it to capture softer sounds more effectively.
-
In Higher Environmental Volume: Lower the gain to reduce the microphone's sensitivity and minimize distortion.
