Installing the Battery

compartment.
2. Make sure to align the + side of the battery with
the + side of the battery compartment, and then
insert the battery into the compartment.

Recording
1. Move the function switch to the appropriate
position for your recording:
• Phone/Off for recording to a smartphone.
• Camera/On for recording to a DSLR, camcorder,
or computer.
2. Plug the MO-IDL1-MK2’s 1/8-inch (3.5 mm)
connector into the input jack of your device.
3. Place the foam windscreen over the microphone,
and insert the microphone into the clip so it’s
approximately 6 to 8 inches from the sound source.
4. You are now ready to record. Consult the
instructions of your video or audio recording app
for directions on recording.
Important: When playing back a recording on a
smartphone, unplug the MO-IDL1-MK2 from the
input jack. Listen to the playback with headphones
or the internal speaker.
RECORDING TIPS
• For the best sound quality, the MO-IDL1-MK2
microphone should be approximately 6 to 8
inches from the sound source.
• The foam windscreen should always be used to
diminish vocal plosives (the “pop” from p and b
sounds) and wind noise.
• To prevent cable tension that can move the
microphone and create handling noise during
recording, create a loop in the cable, and tape it
to the inside of the garment.
• If you experience excessive breath noises or
inconsistent levels due to head movement, try
attaching the omnidirectional MO-IDL1-MK2
upside down.
