Setup

Follow these steps to set up your MEZE AUDIO Boom Mic:

1. Identify Headphone Inputs: Ensure your headphones have dual 3.5mm (1/8 inch) inputs. The Boom Mic is compatible with Meze Audio products such as the 99 Classics, 99 NEO, 109 PRO, and LIRIC 2nd Generation, as well as other headphones with dual 3.5mm inputs.
2. Connect to Headphones: Insert the two 3.5mm male TS mono connectors from the Boom Mic cable into the corresponding left and right 3.5mm inputs on your headphones.
3. Connect to Device: Plug the single 3.5mm male connector from the Boom Mic's in-line control unit into the 3.5mm jack output of your device (e.g., computer, gaming console controller, smartphone, DAC, DAP, headphone amp).
4. Using the Y Splitter: If your device requires separate microphone and headphone inputs, use the included Y splitter. Connect the Boom Mic's single 3.5mm connector to the Y splitter, then connect the splitter's microphone and headphone plugs to the respective ports on your device.
5. Position the Microphone: Adjust the flexible boom arm to position the omnidirectional microphone optimally for clear vocal pickup, typically near the corner of your mouth.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your MEZE AUDIO Boom Mic:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the microphone, cable, and control unit. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Storage: When not in use, store the Boom Mic in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Avoid tightly coiling the cable to prevent kinks or damage.
• Handling: Handle the microphone and connectors with care. Avoid pulling on the cable to disconnect it; always grasp the plug itself. Do not bend the boom arm excessively beyond its intended flexibility.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MEZE AUDIO Boom Mic, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Sound from Microphone:
  • Ensure the mute switch on the in-line control is not engaged.
  • Verify all 3.5mm connectors are fully inserted into both your headphones and the audio device.
  • Check your device's audio settings to ensure the correct microphone input is selected and its volume is not set to zero or muted.
  • If using the Y splitter, ensure it is correctly connected to the microphone and headphone ports on your device.
• Poor Audio Quality / Buzzing Noise:
  • Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly and not too far from your mouth.
  • Check for any loose connections.
  • Test the microphone with a different device to rule out issues with your primary audio source.
  • Reduce the microphone input gain on your device if distortion occurs.
  • Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources nearby.
• Volume Control Not Working:
  • Ensure the rotary volume control on the in-line clip is not at its minimum setting.
  • Check your device's system volume settings.
• Headphones Not Receiving Audio:
  • Verify the 3.5mm connectors are securely plugged into both headphone inputs.
  • Ensure the main 3.5mm connector is fully inserted into your audio source.
