5. Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

The units power on automatically when removed from the charging case. To power off, place them back into the charging case or long-press the power button on each unit.

Mode Selection (Mono/Stereo)

The WEC Kit2 supports both Mono and Stereo recording modes. Refer to the user manual for specific button presses to switch between these modes based on your recording needs.

Gain Adjustment

Adjust the 6-level gain setting on the microphone to optimize audio input levels for different environments and sound sources. This helps prevent clipping and ensures clear recordings.

Noise Reduction

Activate the intelligent noise reduction feature to minimize background noise, especially useful in noisy environments. This can be toggled on/off as needed.

Using Furry Windscreens

For outdoor recording or in windy conditions, attach the provided furry windscreens to the transmitters. These effectively reduce wind noise and plosives, improving audio clarity.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone units and charging case. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Always store the transmitters and receiver in the charging case when not in use to protect them from dust, damage, and to keep them charged.
