• For DSLR Cameras, Camcorders, and Audio Recorders: Uża l- 3.5mm TRS Output Cable. Connect one end to the microphone and the other end to the 3.5mm microphone input jack on your device.
• For Smartphones, Tablets, and Mac: Uża l- 3.5mm TRRS Output Cable. Connect one end to the microphone and the other end to the 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack on your device.
• For iPhone 7 and above: An original 3.5mm-to-Lightning adapter (not included) is required. Connect the TRRS cable to the adapter, then the adapter to your iPhone.
• Nota Importanti: Ensure you use the correct cable (TRS or TRRS) for your device. Refer to the cable's labeling instructions. Incorrect cable usage will prevent the microphone from functioning properly.
• Compatibility Restrictions: This microphone is not suitable for Canon EOS series, T5i, T6, T7, or any camera lacking a 3.5mm microphone input jack.

3. Attaching Wind Protection

• Foam Cover: For indoor use or light wind conditions, slide the foam cover over the microphone head.
• Furry Windscreen (Dead Cat): For outdoor use or windy environments, place the furry windscreen over the foam cover or directly over the microphone head for maximum wind noise reduction.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

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.
