8. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound or poor sound quality | Microphone not paired; low battery; incorrect device settings; receiver not fully inserted. | Ensure receiver is fully inserted and transmitters are paired (solid green light). Check device's audio input settings. Charge the microphones and case. |
| Limited wireless range or dropouts | Obstructions between transmitter and receiver; electromagnetic interference. | Reduce distance between devices. Minimize obstructions. Avoid areas with strong electromagnetic interference. Note that the effective range can be significantly reduced by obstacles. |
| Device not recognizing microphone | Device does not support Type-C audio input; receiver not fully inserted. | Verify your device's Type-C port supports audio input. Ensure the receiver is securely connected. Try restarting your recording device. |
| Cannot disable noise cancellation | Noise cancellation is an integrated, automatic feature. | The Ulanzi A200's noise cancellation is always active and cannot be manually turned off or adjusted. |
| Low-frequency audio is weak | Product design characteristic. | The Ulanzi A200 is tuned to emphasize vocal clarity and may exhibit a reduced response below 200Hz. This is a characteristic of the microphone's design. |
| Only mono recording available | Product design characteristic. | The Ulanzi A200 combines both microphone inputs into a single mono channel. It does not support separate stereo channel recording. |
