• If your device has a 1/4" input, use the included 1/4" adapter.

Once connected, the BOYA BY-M1 is ready for use. For optimal audio quality, consider the following:

• Posizionamento: Clip the microphone to your clothing, ideally about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from your mouth, to capture clear voice.
• Parabrezza: Always use the foam windscreen to reduce plosives (harsh 'p' and 'b' sounds) and minimize wind noise, especially outdoors.
• Gestione dei cavi: The 6-meter cable provides flexibility. Ensure it is routed safely to avoid tripping hazards or accidental disconnections.
• Monitoraggio: If your recording device allows, monitor the audio with headphones during recording to ensure proper levels and sound quality.

Una corretta manutenzione garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del microfono.

• Pulizia: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone body and cable. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Parabrezza: The foam windscreen can be gently washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before reattaching. Replace if it becomes torn or loses its shape.
• Magazzinaggio: Store the microphone in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks or damage.
• Batteria: If the microphone will not be used for an extended period, remove the LR44 battery to prevent leakage and potential damage to the control module.
