Frequently Asked Questions - NAM-982 Naxa

How do I connect the Naxa NAM-982 microphone to my audio interface?

Use a standard XLR cable to connect the microphone's male XLR output to your audio interface's XLR input. Ensure phantom power is enabled if your interface provides it, or insert a battery if using battery mode.

Does this microphone require phantom power?

The NAM-982 can operate via phantom power (48V) or a single AA battery. The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the handle. Use either method for power.

Can I use the NAM-982 for live karaoke?

Yes, the cardioid pickup pattern and dynamic design make it ideal for live vocals, reducing background noise and feedback. It works well with PA systems and karaoke machines.

What type of battery does it use and how long does it last?

It uses one AA battery (not included). With a fresh alkaline battery, you can expect up to 20 hours of continuous use. Battery life may vary depending on usage.

Is the NAM-982 compatible with smartphones?

No, the XLR output is designed for professional audio equipment. To use with a smartphone, you would need an external audio interface or XLR-to-3.5mm adapter with power, which is not recommended for optimal performance.

How do I clean and maintain the microphone?

Wipe the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place. The windscreen can be removed and washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before reattaching.

Does the microphone come with a cable?

No, the NAM-982 does not include a cable. You will need to purchase a standard XLR cable separately. The microphone has a male XLR connector.

What is the warranty period?

Naxa offers a 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claims.

Can I use this microphone for recording vocals at home?

Absolutely. The dynamic capsule and cardioid pattern capture vocals clearly while minimizing room noise. Pair it with an audio interface or mixer for best results.

Why is there no sound from the microphone when connected?

Check that the microphone is powered (battery inserted or phantom power on). Ensure the XLR cable is fully connected. Verify the volume and source settings on your mixer or interface. Test with another cable if possible.

Placing Your Microphone

The optimal position for your microphone relative to the sound source depends on a few factors, but it is mostly a matter of trial and error.

Experiment with different distances and positions to see which sounds best, but keep the following things in mind.

Cardioid

Cardioid microphones are more sensitive to sounds that are in front of it. Sounds from behind the microphone will be slightly muted.

- Cardioid microphones are great for vocal or speech recording.

- When using a microphone for vocal or speech work, the closer you are to the microphone the more likely it will pick up “plosives” when recording. Consider placing a pop filter between the speaker and the microphone.
