Enstriksyon Operasyon
Understanding the controls and settings will help you achieve the best audio quality.
Limen / Off
Locate the power switch on the rear of the microphone. Slide it to the 'ON' position to power on the microphone. Slide it to 'OFF' when not in use to conserve battery life.
Level Control (dB)
The Videomic Pro features a three-position level control switch on the rear:
- 0dB: Standard gain setting, suitable for most recording situations.
- +20 dB: Boosts the output level by 20dB. Useful for cameras with noisy preamps or when recording quiet sources.
- -10 dB: Attenuates the output level by 10dB. Ideal for recording loud sound sources to prevent distortion.
Filtè High-Pass (HPF)
A three-position high-pass filter switch is also located on the rear of the microphone:
- Flat: No filter applied. Captures the full frequency range.
- 75Hz: Engages a 75Hz high-pass filter. This helps to reduce low-frequency noise such as air conditioner hum or traffic rumble.
- 150Hz: Engages a 150Hz high-pass filter. This provides a stronger cut-off for more aggressive low-frequency noise reduction, useful in very noisy environments.
Nòt enpòtan:
Always monitor your audio using headphones connected to your camera's headphone output (if available) to ensure proper levels and prevent clipping. Adjust the microphone's level control and your camera's audio input levels accordingly.
