U6 COMPACT WIRELESS
MIC SYSTEM
English Manual
For DSLR Cameras
FEATURES
U6 is an ultra-compact wireless mic system designed primarily
for video production. The transmitter can be worn discreetly
in two di erent modes: Clip and Hook+Loop. The Clip holds
the transmitter in position on the underside of your shirt for a
very understated look. Alternately, the Hook+Loop method
completely conceals the transmitter underneath your clothing.
Both installation modes are versatile and provide a solution for
any application. The transmitter features a built-in omnidirectional
condenser microphone, and wirelessly transmits crystal-clear,
broadcast-grade digital audio on the 2.4 GHz band to the
camera-mounted receiver. The system's four-channel design
allows you to use four U6 sets in one area; or, with one set,
having four frequencies to choose from ensures connection if
there are competing wireless devices nearby. U6 is perfect for
video content creation, lmmaking, vlogging, YouTube, live
streaming, and more.

Slide the receiver's foot into
the camera's shoe mount.
Connect the receiver output
to the camera input using
the supplied 3.5 mm TRS
cable.
3.1 CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO A SMARTPHONE
To connect to a smartphone with a TRRS 3.5 mm / 1/8" jack,
plug one end of the included stereo cable into the receiver,
and the other end into the TRS to TRRS adapter. Plug the adapter
into the smartphone's headphone jack. If your smartphone has
a USB-C or lightning connector,
you will need to purchase an
additional adapter (TRRS to USB-C
or TRRS to lightning). You can use
the hook+loop fastener adhesives
to attach the receiver to your
smartphone or tripod/mount.

TRANSMITTER APPLICATION METHOD
CLIP
Fasten the clip to the transmitter by pressing the round nubs
on the clip into the round sockets on the transmitter.
When the transmitter is clipped underneath your shirt or
other clothing, it may create a slight protrusion, but will be
generally unnoticeable.
HOOK+LOOP
Stick the Hook pieces on the transmitter
Transmitter
WARNING
Hook fastener material can catch onto knit or loosely
woven fabrics (e.g. wool sweaters) and cause damage, so
avoid making contact between the hook fastener on the
back of the transmitter and your clothing. The adhesive on
the back of the loop fastener piece can leave a residue on
some fabrics. Avoid leaving the loop fastener stuck on
clothing for a long time. Please use with caution.
There are two small hook fastener adhesive strips on the
transmitter. Stick a loop sticker on the inside surface of your
clothing, or anywhere else within range of the transmitter
(about 10 inches from your mouth). Then simply press the
transmitter against the loop piece.
