Monorean Pro Guide

The advanced version of the Monorean earpieces.

Microphone

The Monorean Pro kit is equipped with an extremely sensitive microphone that will allow you to whisper with your partner during an exam. The use of the microphone is optional and requires a connection to the connector with the label: .

Due to the length of the cable, the microphone can be placed anywhere on your body.

How sensitive is it?

This is—understandably—a commonly asked question. The Monorean Tiny’s microphone has been specially designed to capture a slight whisper in a quiet environment, perfect for any exam situation. However, speaking in a low tone has a tendency to mute vocalization. Instead of talking, you emit humming sounds that will be incomprehensible even if you speak directly in your partner’s ear without a microphone. This is the trick to properly using the microphone. Pay attention to vocalization especially when speaking as low as possible.

Vocalize as much as possible when speaking—whispering into the microphone.

Tips

Using the Microphone Correctly

When speaking into the microphone, you might generate unwanted noise if held directly in front of your mouth as a result of air hitting the microphone when you speak. Instead of speaking directly into the microphone, place it slightly to the side of your mouth for optimal audio.

If the microphone is covered with fabric (for example, concealed under your shirt), you can talk directly into the microphone without generating unwanted noise. However, you should avoid the microphone rubbing against any article of clothing as this could also generate unwanted noise.

Do not place the microphone under too many layers of clothing as it could become less sensitive to audio.

Hiding the microphone

One of the best places to place the microphone is on your wrist because you’ll be able to cover your mouth when speaking into it. Not only will you be able to hide your lips while whispering, but you will also be able to use your hand to create a “box” that will amplify the sound that reaches the microphone.
