1. Install the supplied snug-fit windscreen by sliding it over the microphone capsule.

Note: Do not pull the windscreen too tightly over the microphone. Leave a small space inside the windscreen to allow for air movement.

2. Attach the microphone to a shirt or other garment using the supplied tie clip. For best results, the microphone should be 15-25 cm (6-10 in.) away from the

mouth.

3. Plug the 3.5 mm (1/8") plug into your recording device.

To further reduce plosives and wind noise, use the optional Rycote™ Mini Windjammer, which fits over the included foam windscreen.
