How Resona Microphone works

Your physical microphone enters ResonaEQ+, passes through the selected voice-processing chain, and is published through the Resona Microphone Windows endpoint. Applications receive that endpoint like a normal microphone device.

Configure the source

  1. 1Open Routing and select Microphone, System Audio, or Microphone + System.
  2. 2Choose your physical microphone input.
  3. 3Set microphone and system send levels conservatively.
  4. 4Watch the Virtual Mic Out meter and avoid sustained clipping.
  5. 5Select Resona Microphone explicitly inside Discord, OBS, Zoom, your browser, or the target game.

Recommended processing order

  • ResonaClear reduces steady room and environmental noise.
  • Virtual Mic EQ shapes vocal tone independently from system EQ.
  • Noise Gate reduces room sound while you are not speaking.
  • Compressor improves consistency between quiet and loud speech.
  • Limiter catches final peaks before the signal reaches applications.
04

Test in the destination app

Use the application’s microphone meter or a short local recording. Test quiet speech, normal conversation, loud phrases, word beginnings, plosives, and several seconds of silence.
