Mounting the microphone to your
clothing
• Attach the microphone to the front of your clothing
with the clothing clip, about six inches (15-20 cm)
from your face.
Using the microphone with a camera
1 Plug the 3.5 mm connector into the audio input jack
of your DSLR, Point and Shoot camera, or camcorder.
2 Attach the microphone to your clothing (see previous
instructions).
3 Move the switch on the power pack to the Camera
(on) setting and begin filming.
Notes
• Tape a loose loop of the microphone cord to the inside of your clothing.
This provides additional strain relief for the microphone cord and
isolation from unwanted noise.
• Before recording an important event, record and play back a short test
clip with the microphone attached to ensure audio recording is
functioning properly.
Note
Not all cameras have a microphone input. Verify this with your camera
manufacturer. Many cameras have headphone, remote control, and other
ports that look similar to a microphone input. Make sure that you are
using the correct one.
