5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Wearing the Transmitter

The transmitter can be clipped onto clothing using its integrated clip or attached magnetically using the provided magnets. For best audio quality, position the microphone approximately 6-8 inches from the sound source.

5.2 AI Noise Cancellation

The BOYA Magic features AI noise cancellation. This can be controlled via the BOYA Central app. There are typically two modes:

  • Strong Mode: For environments with significant background noise (e.g., busy streets, loud machinery).
  • Light Mode: For reducing white noise while preserving natural ambient sounds.

5.3 Gain Control and Safety Track

Adjust the microphone gain using the BOYA Central app to achieve optimal recording levels. The built-in smart limiter prevents audio clipping, and a -12 dB safety track is automatically recorded as a backup, ensuring clear audio even during unexpected volume spikes.

5.4 Using the BOYA Central App

Download the "BOYA Central" app from your device's app store. The app provides comprehensive control over the microphone's settings, including:

  • Volume Control
  • Noise Reduction Level
  • Custom EQ Settings
  • Firmware Updates
  • Camera Presets
