2. Monitoring Audio

Connect headphones to the 3.5mm headphone jack on the receiver (RX) to monitor your audio in real-time. This allows you to ensure optimal sound quality during recording.

3. Noise Reduction

The G2(A1) MAX features a one-touch noise cancellation function to minimize background noise. Press the noise reduction button on the TX to toggle this feature on or off. The display will indicate its status.

4. Gain Control

Adjust the audio input gain on the receiver (RX) to optimize signal levels. The gain control offers 0-6 levels, allowing you to prevent audio from being too quiet or too loud. Use the gain control buttons on the RX to cycle through the levels, which are displayed on the TFT screen.

5. Output Modes (Mono/Stereo/Safety)

The receiver supports Mono, Stereo, and Safety output modes. These modes are ideal for various recording scenarios and post-production flexibility. Switch between modes using the dedicated button on the RX. The current mode is shown on the display.

Mono Mode: Combines both transmitter audio into a single channel.
Stereo Mode: Separates audio from each transmitter into left and right channels (if using two transmitters).
Safety Mode: Records a secondary track at -6dB to prevent clipping in case the main audio track is too loud. This helps avoid distorted recordings.

Press the mute button on the transmitter (TX) to temporarily mute the microphone. This is useful for short pauses without needing to power off the system. The display will indicate when the microphone is muted.

7. TFT Display Screens

Both the transmitter and receiver feature bright, high-contrast TFT display screens. These screens provide real-time information on battery status, audio levels, current recording mode, gain settings, and more, ensuring clear visibility in various lighting conditions.

8. Upgraded Built-in Microphone

The SYNCO G2(A1) MAX features an upgraded built-in microphone with an increased size (6mm compared to 4mm in previous models) for improved sound quality. The windproof cover is also designed to be tighter and more secure, reducing the likelihood of it falling off during use.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No sound or low audio level	Device not powered on. Not paired correctly. Gain level too low. Wrong cable connected. Microphone muted.	Ensure both TX and RX are powered on. Check pairing status on TFT displays. Increase gain level on RX (0-6 levels). Verify correct 3.5mm TRRS/TRS cable for your device. Unmute the TX microphone.
Distorted or noisy audio	Gain level too high. Background noise. Interference. Safety Mode not active.	Decrease gain level on RX. Activate noise reduction feature on TX. Move away from sources of interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers). Enable Safety Mode on RX for a backup track.
Recording not saving to internal memory	Recording function not activated. Memory full.	Long-press the recording button on TX for 3 seconds to start recording. Transfer existing recordings to a computer to free up space.
Short transmission range or dropouts	Obstructions between TX and RX. Beyond maximum range. Strong 2.4GHz interference.	Ensure a clear line of sight between TX and RX. Stay within the 656ft (200m) operational range. Avoid environments with heavy 2.4GHz wireless traffic.
