I've tried using the setting that dampens the noise, but it dampens the quality a bit too much. Generally, I'd suggest using it indoors, in an environment where you can control background noise, and DO NOT put the subject directly infront of the mic. Inside the cone, there are two mics that point outward in a V-shape, so you have a dead-audio area directly in front of the mic. So you have two people in front of the mic, aim it between them, and you should be fine. If you have one subject, DON'T aim it directly at them. Rather, have the camera off to the side framing them from an angle so that one of the internal mics is pointed right at them. That make sense? Yeah, the Rhode mic is super sensitive.
