Setup

1. Attach the Microphone: Securely clip the iX4Pro microphone to your clothing, approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from your mouth, for optimal sound capture. Ensure the microphone is facing the sound source.
2. Connect to Device: The iX4Pro microphone features a 3.5mm TRRS jack.
   • For most smartphones and tablets (Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android & Windows Smartphones), simply plug the 3.5mm TRRS jack directly into your device's headphone/microphone port.

Operating Instructions

The iX4Pro is an omnidirectional microphone, meaning it picks up sound equally from all directions. This feature is beneficial for capturing ambient sound or when the sound source is not directly in front of the microphone.

1. Recording Audio: Once connected, open your preferred audio or video recording application on your smartphone or tablet. The device should automatically recognize the external microphone.
2. Monitor Sound (if possible): If your device or recording application allows, use headphones to monitor the audio input to ensure optimal sound levels and clarity.
3. Start Recording: Begin your recording as you normally would within your chosen application.
4. Windscreen Usage: For outdoor recordings or in windy conditions, attach one of the included windscreens to the microphone to reduce unwanted wind noise and improve audio clarity.

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your iX4Pro microphone.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the microphone body and cable with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Windscreen Care: The foam windscreens can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before reattaching.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microphone in its velvet protection bag to protect it from dust, dirt, and physical damage. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
