Aokeo USB Microphone FAQs
At Aokeo, we understand that choosing the right USB microphone can be overwhelming. Whether you’re a podcaster, streamer, musician, or remote worker, our plug-and-play USB microphones are engineered to deliver studio-quality audio with effortless setup. Below, we’ve curated answers to the most common questions about compatibility, performance, accessories, and more.
Compatibility & Setup
1. Are Aokeo USB microphones compatible with both Windows and Mac?
Yes, absolutely! All Aokeo USB microphones are universally compatible with:
- Windows 10/11 (no drivers required)
- MacOS 10.15 Catalina or later (plug-and-play via USB-C/USB-A)
2. Can I use Aokeo USB microphones with gaming consoles like PS5/PS4?
Yes, PS5/PS4 Full Support. Works seamlessly for in-game chat and streaming via USB port.
Sound Quality & Features
1. How far should I speak from the microphone for optimal sound?
4-6 inches (10-15 cm) is ideal. Position the mic slightly off-axis to minimize plosives while maintaining crisp vocal clarity.
2. Can I record instruments like guitar with a USB microphone?
Yes! Aokeo mics capture acoustic instruments beautifully. For best results:
- Use the AK-1i cardioid polar pattern (reduces room noise).
- Place the mic 12-18 inches from the instrument.
3. Do I need a pop filter with Aokeo USB microphones?
Recommended. Our condenser mics are sensitive, so a pop filter (sold separately or check Aokeo AK-60 kit) helps reduce harsh "p" and "s" sounds.
4. Can I connect headphones directly to the microphone?
Yes! The mic base has a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can monitor your own and your computer's sound in real time.
Accessories & Maintenance
1. What's the warranty period for Aokeo USB microphones?
180-day hassle-free warranty covering:
- Hardware defects (e.g., capsule failure, USB-C port issues)
- Free replacement if issues occur within the first 30 days
2. How do I clean/maintain my USB microphone?
Clean using a microfiber cloth (lightly dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol if needed), avoiding liquid cleaners directly on surfaces and storing in environments below 80% humidity.
