Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Utilizing this Essential Ghost-Hunting Tool

The Parabolic Microphone is a game-changer in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding in locating even the most elusive spirits. This guide details how to unlock and effectively use this valuable piece of optional equipment.

Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone

The Parabolic Microphone isn't initially available; it's an unlockable item. Reaching specific player levels grants access to purchase it from the in-game shop. There are three tiers, each offering improved performance and reliability:

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

You can equip up to two Parabolic Microphones, regardless of your team size. Remember, prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again.

Utilizing the Parabolic Microphone

Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the in-game truck's equipment wall after selecting it in the shop. Turn it on/off using the appropriate button. Tier 3 features a directional radar to pinpoint sound sources.

On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone is invaluable for locating ghosts by listening for their sounds – object impacts, door movements, or vocalizations. It can also be crucial for completing optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, produce unique sounds only detectable with this device, aiding in ghost identification.
