• 3.5 mm connector plugs into your video camera

• T

wo range settings: “Normal” for close and medium distance; 

“Tele” for long distance

• Unscrew the lower portion of microphone to open the battery 

compartment. Insert battery, matching the polarity markings 

inside the battery compartment. Screw mic/cover back 

together.

• Plug the cable’

s mini-plug into the mic jack on your video 

camera, DSLR or recording device. (When using with 

equipment that includes a built-in mic, consult that device’s 

user guide for instructions on disabling its mic.)

• Slide microphone switch to the NORMAL position when 

miking at close or medium range; slide to the TELE position 

when miking at longer range. (Experiment with both settings 

before recording.) Slide to OFF position to turn microphone off.

• Stand clamp screws onto the top of a mic stand or boompole; 

camera mount screws onto top of most video and DSLR 

cameras. Slide the mic far enough into the clamp or mount so 

it is held securely.

For best results, position mic as close to sound source as 

possible. Beyond three or four feet, the audio may start to sound 

distant. Also, try to aim the mic at the sound source, as sound 

from the side or rear will not be picked up well. Still, some side 

or rear sound may be recorded—keep this in mind, especially if 

mounting mic to a camera, since some camera operation noise 

may be captured.
