Record immersive sound with your 3D Mic Pro
Preserve you most treasured memories, family events, music performances in life-like,
high denition, 3D sound image. You may not need to watch the video, just close your
eyes and you will feel as if you are there. It is an experience you have never had before; it
will be as if you can touch and feel the sound.

You can connect your 3D Mic Pro to any audio/video recorder, DSLR and video cameras
by using a XLR or 3.5 mm stereo phono connector. The 3D Mic Pro provides low
impedance Line level output so that you can run long phono wires and XLR cables from the
3D Mic Pro to your camera or recorders Line
level input without picking up electro magnec
interferance and power supply hum.
Many DSLRs and video cameras only accept Mic
level input. Use the supplied aenuator cable
to connect your 3D Mic Pro to Mic input of
DSLRs or video cameras. The aenuator cable will
reduce the 3D Mic Pro Line level output for
perfect Mic level recording. You can idenfy the
aenuator cable by the white “aenuator cable”
labled flag and the blue ring in the phono jack.

Phantom Power Warning while using XLR connector
Audio recorders or video cameras with XLR inputs may also provide 48 volt
phantom power for the condenser microphone through the XLR cable. The
3D Mic Pro is self powered and injecon of 48 volt phantom power to the XLR output
of the 3D Mic Pro may damage its internal elecronic circuit. We have built a protecon
mechanism to prevent such damage, however prolonged exposure to phantom power or
high voltage/current from a faulty phantom power supply can sll damage the 3D Mic
Pro’s internal electronics. Such damage is not covered under limited lifeme warranty. So
please make sure to turn offphantom power in the recorder or the video camera before
connecng the 3D Mic Pro.
