4. Operating Instructions
Once connected, the microphone is ready for use with your device's recording applications.

- Noise Reduction: Equipped with a professional noise reduction microphone core, it helps to deliver clearer sound by minimizing unwanted background noise.
- Adjustable Angle: The microphone's angle can be adjusted to best suit your recording needs and device orientation.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the microphone body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Windscreen Care: The foam and furry windscreens can be gently cleaned with a mild soap solution and air-dried completely before reattaching.
- Storage: When not in use, store the microphone and its accessories in the provided storage bag to protect it from dust and physical damage.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the microphone away from water and high humidity.
6. Troubleshooting
- No Sound or Low Volume:
- Ensure the microphone is fully and securely plugged into the device's Type C port.
- Check your device's audio input settings to ensure the external microphone is selected.
- Verify that the recording application's volume or gain settings are appropriately adjusted.
- Test the microphone on another compatible device to rule out device-specific issues.
- Poor Sound Quality / Excessive Noise:
- Ensure the appropriate windscreen (foam or furry) is securely attached, especially in windy conditions.
- Check for any obstructions around the microphone's pickup area.
- Move closer to the sound source or reduce background noise in the recording environment.
