How to use

Connect the integrated cable to the appropriate input on your recorder, camera or audio interface. Hold the microphone at a consistent distance from the speaker’s mouth — typically 5–15 cm for clear speech — and orient the capsule toward the sound source. Monitor levels on your recording device and adjust input gain to avoid clipping while maintaining intelligible dialogue. Store the microphone in a protective bag when not in use to prevent cable strain and surface damage.

Usage recommendations

For best speech clarity, use close miking technique and reduce ambient noise where possible. When recording outdoors, pair the microphone with a suitable windscreen and monitor levels continuously to compensate for changing environments.
