Owner’s Manual
6 Advanced Features and Customization Tools
6.1 Settings Menu
Your Revelator features several customizable features. Press the
Settings button button in the upper right corner to get started.
1. Reset. Click this button to reset your Revelator to its factory default state.
2. Polar patterns. Your Revelator can be set to one of the following polar patterns:
a. Cardioid. In this pattern, your Revelator will pick up signal the best from the
front.
b. Figure 8. In this pattern, your Revelator will pick up signals equally well from
the rear and front.
c. Omnidirectional. In this pattern, your Revelator will pick up signal equally
well all around the microphone.
3. Fat Channel on USB Stream Outputs. By default, your Revelator will record
audio just as you hear it in your headphones, complete with the Fat Channel
preset. If you would like to record only the raw unprocessed audio, but still listen
to the presets while you record, disable “Fat Channel on USB Stream Outputs.”
4. Preset Button Mode. By default, your Revelator offers four presets
via the Preset button on the mic itself. If you find yourself only using
one or two, you can simplify this accordingly by clicking here.
When One or Two Preset Button Mode is engaged, you will only
see the respective number of presets in the Revelator mixer as well;
note the unused presets are greyed out. Note that in single Preset
slot mode, the Preset button on Revelator will toggle between the
loaded preset and bypass. In two-Preset slot mode, bypass is still
achieved by pressing and holding the Preset button on Revelator.
5. Mute Button Mode. By default, your Revelator’s mute button
controls the microphone. This allows you to mute the microphone,
but still hear playback from your computer in your headphones.
If you would like to mute all audio, select Monitor mode.
Power User Tip: Note that this does not mute the your mic input to the mix outputs.
Even while your headphones are muted, you can still be heard by others on your call
or stream—so try not to say anything embarrassing.
