5. Operating the Microphone
5.1 Noise Cancellation
The microphone features a DSP chip for active noise cancellation, significantly reducing background noise. This is particularly effective when combined with the included furry windshields.
The Rythflo microphone incorporates advanced noise-cancelling technology to ensure clear audio capture even in noisy environments. This feature is automatically active. For enhanced noise reduction, especially outdoors or in windy conditions, attach the provided furry windshield to the microphone transmitter.
5.2 Reverb Function
The reverb function adds a spatial effect to the audio, suitable for musical performances or creating an immersive sound experience.
The reverb function provides a 3D sound effect, enhancing the audio for a more immersive experience. This can be particularly useful for musical recordings or presentations where a richer sound is desired. Refer to the transmitter's digital display for the reverb mode indicator.
5.3 Mute Function
The mute function allows for temporary silencing of the microphone without disconnecting the system, useful during breaks or private conversations.
To temporarily mute the microphone, press the designated mute button on the transmitter. The mute indicator on the digital display will illuminate. Press the button again to unmute. This function is useful for privacy during recordings or when you need to pause audio input without stopping the recording session.
6. Battery Life and Charging
The microphone transmitters offer extended battery life, with quick charging capabilities for convenience.
Each microphone transmitter is equipped with a 110mAh rechargeable battery, providing up to 9 hours of continuous use on a single charge. When using two microphones, the total battery life extends to 18 hours. The low-power chip design optimizes energy consumption. To charge, connect the transmitters to a power source using the included USB-C charging cable. A quick 30-minute charge can provide approximately 3 hours of usage.
7. Transmission Range and Stability
The microphone system maintains a stable connection over a significant distance, ideal for various recording scenarios.
The Rythflo Wireless Lavalier Microphone utilizes 2.4G wireless technology to provide a stable and reliable connection. It supports a transmission range of up to 100 feet (approximately 30 meters) in open, unobstructed environments. This allows for flexible recording setups, including wide shots, without compromising audio quality. The system is designed for super-low latency (less than 0.02 seconds), minimizing lip-sync issues in video recordings.
The 2.4G stable connection ensures minimal interference, providing consistent audio quality during live streams and recordings.
The microphone system incorporates anti-jamming technology to maintain a robust 2.4G stable connection, even in environments with other wireless signals. This ensures uninterrupted audio transmission for critical recording sessions and live broadcasts.
8. Device Compatibility
The Rythflo Wireless Lavalier Microphone is designed for broad compatibility with Apple devices featuring a Lightning port.
The Rythflo Wireless Lavalier Microphone's Lightning receiver is compatible with a wide range of Apple devices. It is perfectly suited for iPhone 14/13/12/11/XR/XS/X/8/7/6/5 series, iPad 4-9th Gen, iPad mini 3-6th Gen, and iPad Air 1-3rd Gen.
Important Note: This microphone system is not compatible with iPhone 15/16 series, iPad Pro/10/Air 4/Air 5/mini 6, or any other models equipped with a USB-C port.
9. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone transmitters and receiver. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the microphone system in its provided carry case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the transmitters frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the batteries to approximately 50% every few months.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
10. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone not pairing. | Transmitter or receiver not powered on; out of range; low battery. | Ensure both devices are powered on. Check battery levels and charge if necessary. Move transmitter closer to the receiver. |
| No audio output. | Microphone muted; receiver not properly connected; recording app settings. | Check if the microphone is muted (mute indicator). Ensure the receiver is fully inserted into the Lightning port. Verify audio input settings in your recording application. |
| Poor audio quality/static. | Interference; microphone too far from source; environmental noise. | Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Ensure microphone is clipped correctly and close to the speaker's mouth. Use furry windshields for wind noise. |
| Short transmission range. | Obstructions; environmental interference. | Ensure a clear line of sight between transmitter and receiver. Avoid using in areas with dense wireless traffic or physical obstructions. |
| Microphone not charging. | Faulty cable or power source; charging port obstruction. | Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter. Check the charging port for debris. |
