How to use
Attach the lavalier capsule to the subject's clothing using the included clip and position it near the collar or chest for optimal speech capture. Plug the USB‑C receiver directly into a compatible USB‑C device such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Power on any required transmitter components and confirm the device recognizes the microphone as an input source. Adjust recording levels in the device or app before starting the session, and monitor audio when possible to ensure clear capture. When finished, unplug the receiver and store the lavalier and accessories in a protective pouch.
Usage recommendations
For best results, position the lavalier within 15–20 cm of the mouth, avoid covering the capsule with fabric, and check device input settings for gain control. Use wind protection or a foam cover in outdoor environments to reduce wind noise, and keep the receiver securely connected to the USB‑C port to prevent accidental disconnection during recording.
