How to use

Attach a compatible wireless transmitter into the Interview GO adapter and secure it according to the adapter fit. Hold the microphone in a natural interview position near the interviewee’s mouth, typically 5–15 cm from the source, and orient the windscreen toward the speaker to reduce plosives. Connect the receiver or recorder as required by your wireless system and begin recording. The plug-and-play design minimises setup steps so interviews can start quickly.

Recommendations

For optimal speech clarity, position the microphone slightly off-axis to reduce plosive sounds and maintain consistent distance from the speaker. Use the supplied windscreen outdoors or in windy conditions. Handle the microphone steadily and avoid rubbing the windscreen against clothing or surfaces to prevent handling noise.
