Frequently Asked Questions - BY-XM6 S5 BOYA
How do I power the BOYA BY-XM6 S5 microphone?

The BY-XM6 S5 features a 3.5mm TRS output and works with DSLR cameras, camcorders, and audio recorders that have a microphone input.
How can I reduce wind noise when recording outdoors?
Always use the included foam windscreen or fur windshield (if available). The low-cut filter can also attenuate low-frequency rumble caused by wind.
How do I replace the battery?
Unscrew the battery cap, remove the old CR2032 battery, and insert a new one with the correct polarity. Securely tighten the cap to keep the microphone working.
How should I clean and maintain the microphone?
Use a soft dry cloth to clean the exterior. Remove the windscreen and wash it with mild soapy water if needed, then let it air dry completely before reattaching.

The low-cut filter reduces unwanted low-frequency noise such as rumble, vibrations, and wind noise. Set it to 'on' for outdoor recordings or voice clarity.
