Bedryfsinstruksies

1. Powering On/Off (Auto-Power Mode)

The Wavo PLUS features an intelligent auto-power mode. When connected to a camera or smartphone via the 3.5mm cable, the microphone will automatically switch ON or OFF in sync with your device's power state. This conserves battery life and prevents accidental recording without audio.

2. Aanpassing van winsvlakke

Use the gain switch on the side of the microphone to adjust the input sensitivity:

  • 0dB: Standard gain level for most recording situations.
  • +15dB: Boosts the audio signal, useful for quiet environments or when the sound source is far away.
  • -10dB: Attenuates the audio signal, ideal for loud environments to prevent distortion.

3. Live Audio Monitoring

Connect headphones to the 3.5mm headphone output jack on the microphone to monitor your audio in real-time. Use the adjustable volume wheel on the side to set your preferred monitoring level.

4. Hoogdeurlaatfilter

Activate the switchable High-Pass Filter button to reduce low-frequency rumble noises, such as air conditioning, traffic, or handling noise. This helps achieve cleaner audio recordings.

5. Safe Track Recording

The microphone can record an additional "safe track" at -10dB. This secondary track acts as a backup, ensuring that if your main audio track distorts due to unexpected loud noises, you have a clean, usable alternative.

  • Berging: Store the microphone in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Battery sorg: For optimal battery longevity, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge as needed.

Probleemoplossing

  • No Audio Recording:
    • Ensure the microphone is properly connected to your device using the correct cable (TRS for cameras, TRRS for smartphones, USB-C for computers).
    • Check if the microphone's battery is charged. The LED indicator should be green or purple.
    • Verify your camera/smartphone/computer audio settings are configured to use an external microphone.
    • Confirm the microphone is powered on (auto-power mode should handle this, but check the LED).
  • Vervormde klank:
    • Reduce the microphone's gain level using the gain switch (-10dB).
    • Check your device's input audio levels and reduce them if they are too high.
    • Ensure the foam windshield is properly installed to minimize plosives and wind noise.
  • Low Audio Volume:
    • Increase the microphone's gain level using the gain switch (+15dB).
    • Check your device's input audio levels and increase them if they are too low.
    • Ensure the microphone is positioned close enough to the sound source.
