- Botón de control de volume: Also on the front, this knob controls the volume of the headphone output. Adjust it to a comfortable listening level for real-time monitoring.
- Botón de silencio: Press this button to instantly mute or unmute the microphone. The indicator light will change to show the mute status (e.g., red for muted, green for active). This is useful for privacy during live streams or meetings.
- Conector para auriculares (3.5 mm): Located at the bottom of the microphone, this allows you to connect headphones for direct, latency-free monitoring of your audio.

5.2 Patróns polares
The BY-PM700SP features a multi-pattern design, allowing you to select the most appropriate pickup pattern for your recording environment. Use the "PATTERN" knob on the microphone to switch between modes:
- Stereo Pattern: Picks up sound from the left and right sides. Ideal for capturing a realistic, general sound, such as musical performances or ambient recordings.
- Patrón cardioide: Maximizes the rejection of sound coming from the sides and rear of the microphone. This directional pattern is best for capturing rich, natural-sounding audio from a single source directly in front of the mic, such as vocals, speech, or instruments.
- Patrón omnidireccional: Picks up sound equally from all directions. Suitable for capturing a natural blend of voice and ambiance, group discussions, or when you want to record sounds from around the microphone.
- Bi-directional Pattern: Picks up sound from the front and rear of the microphone, while rejecting sounds from the sides. This pattern is ideal for recording interviews between two people or for capturing instruments from both sides.
