Mounting the microphone to your

clothing

• Attach the microphone to the front of your clothing

with the clothing clip, about six inches (15-20 cm)

from your face.

Using the microphone with a camera

1 Plug the 3.5 mm connector into the audio input jack

of your DSLR, Point and Shoot camera, or camcorder.

2 Attach the microphone to your clothing (see previous

instructions).

3 Move the switch on the power pack to the Camera

(on) setting and begin filming.

Notes

• Tape a loose loop of the microphone cord to the inside of your clothing.

This provides additional strain relief for the microphone cord and

isolation from unwanted noise.

• Before recording an important event, record and play back a short test

clip with the microphone attached to ensure audio recording is

functioning properly.

Note

Not all cameras have a microphone input. Verify this with your camera

manufacturer. Many cameras have headphone, remote control, and other

ports that look similar to a microphone input. Make sure that you are

using the correct one.
