How to use

Connect the Tracer S5 microphone cable to the microphone input of your recorder, camera, or audio interface. Hold the microphone close to the speaker’s mouth (about 5–15 cm) and point the capsule towards the sound source to capture clear speech. Adjust the input level on your recording device to avoid clipping; if the signal is too strong, reduce the gain. Store the microphone in a padded case when not in use to protect the capsule and cable.

Usage recommendations

For best results in noisy environments, position the microphone close to the speaker and use basic wind protection such as a foam windshield. Check cable connections before recording and monitor levels with headphones to ensure consistent audio quality.
