Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: A Comprehensive Guide

The Parabolic Microphone is a valuable tool in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding ghost hunting. This guide details its unlock process and effective usage.

Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone

The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment. To acquire it, you must reach specific player levels:

• Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7.
• Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31; upgrade cost: $3,000.
• Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72; upgrade cost: $5,000.

Purchase upgrades via the in-game shop. You can equip up to two microphones, regardless of team size. Prestiging resets your progress, requiring you to unlock all tiers again.

Using the Parabolic Microphone

Equip the microphone from your truck's equipment wall before each investigation. Challenge Mode may require manual equipping. Use the appropriate button to activate/deactivate it. Tier 3 includes a directional radar.

The Parabolic Microphone's primary function is sound detection. On larger maps, it excels at pinpointing ghost locations by picking up sounds like object throws, door movements, and ghostly whispers. It can also help complete optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts (e.g., Deogen, Banshee) have unique sounds only detectable with this tool, aiding identification.
