Use the built-in display and controls to select the desired recording format and quality, adjust input levels as needed, and monitor audio through headphones connected to the 3.5 mm output. Transfer files to a computer via the USB-C connector or remove the card for offline access. Keep firmware updated via the manufacturer’s instructions.

Recommendations

For best results, test input levels before important recordings to avoid clipping at high SPL and to ensure sufficient headroom. Use high-quality MicroSDXC cards for long continuous recordings and replace batteries before extended sessions. Position the omnidirectional lavalier close to the speaker’s mouth while avoiding clothing noise.
