TX Placement

The preferred placement for the TX is at the collar. If speaking with a loud volume, you can choose an upper chest position. You can wear it using either the back clip or clip magnet.

a. Place the clip magnet on the back of the collar, and secure the TX on the front of the collar with the magnet.

b. Clip the back clip onto the collar, and secure the TX with the clip.

A LARK M2 Necklace Silicone Case magnet necklace for the clip magnet is included, allowing you to secure TX around your neck.

In order to achieve the best possible sound quality during recording, it's important to place the TX correctly. Make sure that the microphone is not covered by any cloth. If you are recording outdoors, it's recommended to use a windscreen to minimize unwanted noise from wind and breathing.
