# Recording Audio Best Practices

> Best practices for audio capture

* Capture at 16 kHz 16-bit PCM mono

* Place the mic 15–20 cm from the speaker

* Avoid hard reflective surfaces; soft furnishings improve quality

* Disable aggressive AGC; let SNR speak for itself

* Run a 5-second warmup before the encounter starts

* Monitor `audio.event` for live quality feedback
