How to use

Connect the microphone to your recording device or camera using the supplied adapter, ensuring the plug is fully seated in the input jack. Hold the microphone approximately 5–15 cm from the speaker’s mouth for clear voice capture, avoiding contact with the grille to reduce handling noise. Monitor levels on your recorder or camera and adjust input gain to prevent clipping while maintaining natural voice dynamics. For on-camera use, position the microphone so it is visible to the interviewer but unobtrusive to the subject and viewers.

Usage recommendations

Use a windscreen or foam cover when recording outdoors to reduce wind noise. Store the microphone and adapter in a padded pouch when transporting to protect connectors and the finish. Test audio levels before each session and, if possible, record a short reference clip to verify clarity and background noise levels.
