- Page 60 N.B.: using a “multiple SCART” with no input selector, avoid using OkyFly2 and the video recorder simultaneously: images and sound would be disturbed, or at the best, overlapping.
- Page 61 Connection Examples OkyFly2 + Microphones + Headphones Connection of Microphones and Headphones is compatible with all the previously described setups. OkyFly’s two microphone inputs are identical and can be used to connect 1 or 2 microphones. It’s therefore possible for example to amplify one or two voices, a voice and a chorus, a voice and an acoustic instrument, etc.
