Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Utilizzo del microfono

2. Adjusting Mic Gain

Use the +/- buttons on the transmitter to adjust the microphone gain. The mic gain indicators will show the current level. Adjust the gain to prevent audio clipping or distortion.

This allows for greater flexibility in post-production.
