Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Usage Guide

The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial tool in Phasmophobia for locating elusive ghosts. This guide details how to unlock and effectively utilize this invaluable piece of equipment.

Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone

The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment, requiring specific levels to unlock and upgrade:

• Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7. Purchase from the in-game shop.

• Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31. Upgrade cost: $3,000.

• Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72. Upgrade cost: $5,000.

  Remember that prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again. You can equip up to two microphones regardless of party size.

Using the Parabolic Microphone

Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the truck's equipment wall before each investigation. Challenge Mode may require manual selection. Turn it on/off using the designated button. Tier 3 includes a directional radar.

The Parabolic Microphone is especially useful on larger maps, pinpointing ghost locations through audio cues: object throws, door movements, and ghostly whispers. It can also fulfill optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts (e.g., Deogen, Banshee) emit unique sounds only detectable by this microphone, aiding identification.
