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.
