Using the microphone directivity function
Just like an ordinary microphone, the built-in microphone of the noise canceling headphones picks up ambient sounds coming
from all directions. The microphone directivity (beamforming) function, however, can reduce ambient noises and pick up
mainly your voice and sounds coming from your front and rear.
The microphone directivity function comes in handy when you want your voice to sound clearly while chatting or when you
want to use the headphones as a microphone to record your own voice or sounds coming from your front.
To enable the microphone directivity function
1
Right-click the
icon on the taskbar and select Settings....
2
Click the Microphone directivity tab and select the Enable the microphone directivity function check box.
3
Click OK.
!
When ambient noises are extremely loud, the microphone directivity function may not become fully in effect or the volume level of the noises may
fluctuate at short intervals.
The microphone directivity function is designed to be used only where ambient noises are loud. Disable the function where ambient noises are low.
