TROUBLESHOOTING
Record an audio recording (preferably with a smartphone)
while scratching the foam windscreen on the mic. Unplug
the mic and listen to the recording, if the mic is working, the
scratching sound should be loud which means the mic is
active.
HOW TO TEST IF YOUR MIC IS WORKING:
When connecting adapters to each other, connect them
firmly until you hear a “CLICK”. Many issues happen due to
the adapters not being connected properly. Make sure you
are using the correct combination of adapters for your
device by referring to the instructions in this guide.
IMPORTANT:

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. When connecting adapters to each other, connect
them firmly until you hear a “CLICK”. Many issues
happen due to the adapters not being connected
properly. Make sure you are using the correct
combination of adapters for your device by referring to
the instructions in this guide.
BUZZING NOISES IN RECORDING?
2. Ensure that Bluetooth and NFC (near field
communication) are turned off on the device.
3. Check if the microphone cable or extension cables
are crossing other cables that are causing electrical
interference. This is especially possible close to power
cables.

TROUBLESHOOTING
4. Check if the microphone cable or extension cables
are close to or wrapped around other electrical devices
(including the one you are recording with).
BUZZING NOISES IN RECORDING?
5. Try the microphone with a smartphone to ensure
there is not a problem with the microphone itself. If you
are trying to use any of the adapters, ensure that they
are plugged in firmly (until you hear a click) and that the
correct combination of adapters is being used.
