1 Product Introduction
1.1 General Introductions
The Vmic is a broadcast quality condenser microphone that provides
professional audio with DSLR cameras and camcorders. The Vmic allows
you to adjust level control (-10dB, 0dB, +20dB), high-pass filter(150 Hz), and
high-frequency boost(+6dB) to increase intelligibility of dialogue. The
detachable 3.5mm cable connects the Vmic to the audio input of the
camera, while the stereo headphone output allows you to monitor the
incoming audio. The shock mount system provides isolation from
vibration and mechanical noise.

2.3 Turn on your camera and long press the power button to turn the
Vmic on, the LED indicator will turn green. When the battery power is
low, the LED indicator will turn red.
2.4 Adjust the level control according to your needs.
The -10dB level is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live
music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to
the camera.
The +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras,
allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input
level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the
camera's comparatively low quality audio circuitry.
2.5 Plug a headphone to the headphone output of the Vmic, then you
can monitor the audio.
We suggest you could do a test recording and playback the audio to
see if it is acceptable.
