MIC PLACEMENT
2
The microphone should be positioned directly underneath the
speaker's mouth (as close as possible), without being subject to
clothing rustle. When attaching the microphone, please ensure
the microphone is pointed towards the speaker's mouth.
FUZZY WINDSCREEN
3
The fuzzy windscreen is ideally used for windy environments to
prevent wind noise from distorting the audio quality of the
microphone. For increased wind protection, add the fuzzy
windscreen when recording outdoors by sliding it over the
microphone and ensuring the fur is fluffed up in all directions for
best results. Please remove the foam windscreen on the
microphone first before attaching the fuzzy windscreen.

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, and you are
not next to a WiFi Router.
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.
18
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 - see image
on page 17) and that the correct combination of
adapters is being used.
