POLSEN®

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.

The MO-CPL2 lavalier microphone is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and computers that have a USB Type- C^TM connector. This microphone delivers rich and detailed audio that's much better than the built-in microphone on a mobile device or computer, and it will enhance the production value of podcasts, interviews, and videos.

The microphone features an in-line A/D converter that's capable of recording audio with sample rates up to 16 bits and 44.1 kHz. The microphone's omnidirectional polar pattern provides excellent off-axis response, even if a subject turns their head while speaking. It also boasts a wide frequency response and high sensitivity for superb audio quality for all your projects.

RECORDING INSTRUCTIONS

Important! The MO-CPL2 is disabled when an incoming phone call is received. To ensure your recording is not interrupted by a phone call, enable Airplane Mode in your phone's settings.

1. Plug the USB-C connector into your mobile device or computer. The LED indicator on the A/D converter will blink to confirm that it's connected and receiving power.

2. Plug your headphones into the headphone jack.

Note: The headphone jack is for playback only. You cannot monitor your recording through the headphones.

1. Place the windscreen over the mic capsule, attach the mic clip, and then attach the clip to your subject. The mic should be approximately 6 to 8 inches from the sound source.

2. Open a compatible audio or video recording app on your device. The LED indicator on the A/D converter lights up during recording.

3. When you've finished recording, press the stop button. The microphone will be disabled. Listen to the playback through the headphones.

RECORDING TIPS

• For the best recording quality, the MO-CPL2 microphone should be approximately 6 to 8 inches from the sound source.
• Always use the foam windscreen to diminish vocal plosives (e.g., 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 a garment.
• If you experience excessive breath noises or inconsistent levels due to head movement, try attaching the mic upside down.
