Setup
Automatic Connection
The BOYA Omic-U microphone system is designed for easy, driver-free operation. To connect, simply plug the receiver into your recording device's USB-C port. Turn on the receiver, and it will automatically pair with the transmitters. Ensure that the USB OTG (On-The-Go) setting is enabled in your device's settings for proper functionality.
Attaching the Microphone
The transmitter features an upgraded magnetic back clip for secure and convenient attachment. You can easily clip it onto clothing or use the magnetic attachment by placing the clip inside your garment and the microphone on the outside for a stable hold.
Operating Instructions
Noise Reduction
The BOYA Omic-U includes smart noise reduction functionality. Double-click the Noise Reduction button on the transmitter to activate this feature, which significantly reduces ambient noise and provides 48kHz high-definition sound quality, minimizing the need for post-editing.
Charging
The system comes with a portable charging case. The microphones have a built-in rechargeable lithium battery offering up to 5 hours of battery life. The charging case extends this to up to 15 hours. The case can be charged via USB-C or wirelessly. You can also charge the device through the transmitter while recording to prevent interruptions.

Maintenance
Windshield Installation
For optimal audio quality in windy conditions, attach the provided fur windshields to the transmitters. These windshields help to diffuse wind noise, ensuring clearer recordings. Gently push the windshield onto the microphone head until it is securely in place.
General Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BOYA Omic-U system, keep all components clean and dry. Avoid exposing the devices to extreme temperatures or moisture. Store the microphones and receiver in the charging case when not in use to protect them and keep them charged.
Troubleshooting
Connection Issues
If the microphone system does not connect automatically, ensure that the USB OTG (On-The-Go) function is enabled in your device's settings. This setting is crucial for external USB devices to be recognized. Also, verify that the receiver is fully and securely plugged into your device's USB-C port. A loose or damaged connection can prevent proper operation.
Audio Playback Issues
If you cannot hear audio during playback after recording, ensure that the receiver is unplugged from your device. Many devices automatically route audio output through the connected USB-C port, muting internal speakers when the receiver is attached.
Transmission Range
The BOYA Omic-U offers a transmission range of up to 50 meters (164 feet) in an open field without degradation of audio response. If you experience signal drops or poor audio quality, ensure you are within this recommended range and that there are no significant obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
