Hướng dẫn sử dụng
1. Understanding Microphone Modes
The SMALLRIG 3468 offers flexible recording options with its on-camera microphone and included lavalier microphone.
- On-Camera Microphone ("M" Mode): Records a single audio track. Ideal for short videos and general use.
- Micrô Lavalier: Records a single audio track. Suitable for single interviews or recordings where the subject needs to be close to the microphone.
- On-Camera Microphone + Lavalier Microphone ("M" Mode): Records a single audio track, combining input from both microphones. Useful for vlogs where both ambient sound and a speaker's voice are desired.
- On-Camera Microphone + Lavalier Microphone ("S" Mode): Records two separate audio tracks (left/right dual channel). This advanced mode is suitable for multi-person interviews or short videos requiring post-editing for individual audio control. To use this mode, connect the lavalier microphone to the 3.5mm TRS input port on the on-camera microphone.

2. Giảm tiếng ồn
The microphone system includes several features to ensure clear audio by reducing unwanted noise:
- Super Cardioid Polar Pattern: Both the on-camera and lavalier microphones utilize a cardioid pickup pattern, which primarily captures sound from the front while effectively rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. This helps to eliminate background noise and echoes.
- Giá treo đàn hồi: The integrated TPE damping structure in the shock mount significantly reduces mechanical vibrations and handling noise that can be transmitted through the camera or rig.
- Bảo vệ gió:
- Furry Windshield: Use the furry windshield for outdoor recordings to effectively reduce wind noise.
- Foam Windscreens: The foam windscreens (for both on-camera and lavalier microphones) help to reduce plosives and light wind noise, suitable for indoor or less windy outdoor environments.
