How to Use the Kaotica Eyeball: Tips for the Best Sound

The Kaotica Eyeball is designed to simplify your vocal recording process by delivering studio-quality sound anywhere you go. To get the best performance out of your Eyeball, here are a few quick tips that can make a big difference:

1. Set Your Mic to Cardioid

If your microphone has selectable polar patterns, make sure it’s set to cardioid. This focuses the mic’s sensitivity to sounds coming from the front and minimizes room noise.

2. Mic Placement Matters

Ensure your microphone is centered inside the Eyeball cavity and facing forward. Proper positioning helps capture your voice cleanly and evenly.

3. Use High-Quality Cables

Over time, cheap cables can introduce noise and degrade your audio quality. For best results, we recommend using a high-grade cable—Mogami is our go-to.

4. Speak Directly Into the Eyeball

Talk or sing straight into the front of the Eyeball, not at an angle. Try placing your setup in the center of the room to avoid reflections from nearby walls.

5. Watch Your Gain Levels

If things sound too loud or distorted, especially with USB mics, try lowering your input gain slightly. The Eyeball channels your voice directly into the mic, which can boost levels.

6. Soften the Room

While the Eyeball greatly reduces reflections, adding a few soft materials—like a rug, blanket, or curtains—can help tame the rest of your environment.

7. Experiment with Distance

Try adjusting how close or far you are from the Eyeball to find the sweet spot for tone. Closer will sound more intimate, while a bit more distance can offer a natural, open feel

These small adjustments can make a big impact on your sound. With the right setup, the Kaotica Eyeball helps you achieve professional-level results without the hassle of a full studio build.
