Naudojimo instrukcijos

The Moukey MCM-1 is a battery-free microphone, meaning it draws power directly from your connected device. No external power source or batteries are required for operation.

1. Ensure the microphone is securely attached and correctly connected to your recording device using the appropriate cable.
2. Position the microphone to face the sound source directly. The MCM-1 features a unidirectional (cardioid) polar pattern, which means it is most sensitive to sounds coming from the front and less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear. This helps in isolating the desired audio and reducing ambient noise.
3. On your recording device (camera, smartphone, etc.), select the external microphone as the audio input source in the settings, if applicable.
4. Perform a test recording to check audio levels and quality before your main recording session. Adjust your device's audio input gain as needed.
5. For optimal sound, maintain an appropriate distance from the sound source. Avoid touching the microphone or cables during recording to prevent handling noise, which the shock mount helps to minimize.
