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.

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

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.

are crossing other cables that are causing electrical
interference. This is especially possible close to power
cables.
