Monorean Tiny Guide

The basic version of the Monorean earpieces.

Microphone

The Monorean Tiny kit includes a highly sensitive microphone that allows you to talk with your partner during an exam with a slight whisper. The Monorean Tiny’s microphone is built into the collar, making the installation very simple and neat without the need to install additional cables.

How sensitive is it?

This is—understandably—a commonly asked question. The Monorean Tiny’s microphone has been specifically designed to capture any slight whisper in a quiet environment, which is very common in an exam situation. However, you must understand that when you try to speak very low you tend to stop vocalizing and instead of talking, you emit humming sounds that will be incomprehensible even if you’d be literally speaking directly to your partner’s ears-without a microphone. This is the trick to properly using the microphone. You should pay attention to vocalizing as well as 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 you hold it 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.

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 your clothes as this would also generate unwanted noise.

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