Set Up Guide

Install the battery

Insert the AA batteries into place aligning + and - polarity as shown.

1. Lock the battery compartment
2. Unlock the battery compartment

2. Attach the Vmic Pro to the hot shoe of your camera or camcorder. Connect the supplied audio transmission line from the audio output of Vmic Pro to the MIC input of the camera or camcorder.
3. Turn on your camera and long press the power button to turn the Vmic Pro on, the LED indicator will turn green. When the battery power is low, the LED indicator will turn red.
4. Adjust the level control according to your needs. The -10dB level: ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera.
   The +20dB level boost: For use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's comparatively low quality audio circuitry.
5. Plug a headphone to the headphone output of the Vmic Pro, then you can monitor the audio.
   We suggest you could do a test recording and playback the audio to see if it is acceptable.
