Using the Microphone

Illustrations depicting foam windscreen, mic clip, and plugging into transmitter.

Install the supplied snug-fit windscreen by sliding it over the microphone capsule.
Note: Do not pull the windscreen too tightly over the microphone. Leave a small space inside the windscreen to allow for air movement.
Attach the microphone to a shirt or other garment using the supplied tie clip. For best results, the microphone should be 15-25 cm (6-10 in.) away from the mouth.
Plug the 3.5 mm (1/8") plug into your recording device.

To further reduce plosives and wind noise, use the optional Rycote Mini Windjammer, which fits over the included foam windscreen.
