Make sure that your device is fully charged before the initial use.

The MightyMic Pro includes a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. This allows you to use any standard phone charger (not included) to charge the Bluetooth device.

The USB-C connector is a much higher quality than other micro-USB charging ports and can pass more power for faster charging

Insert the USB terminal of your charging cable into a USB-A Type phone charger and connect the other terminal to the USB-C jack on the microphone. While charging, the red LED on the front will remain on. When charging is completed, the LED will turn off

The MightyMic Pro can operate while charging or while being powered by an external battery source

Microphone Sensitivity Adjustment

The microphone has auto gain adjustment. This feature sets the ideal sensitivity while listening to the speaking volume. Speak for about 5 seconds near the microphone to set the ideal volume before recording.

Best performance is normally achieved using an external microphone with the sensitivity set to High (H)

The default sensitivity is set to High when the device is shipped. The options are as follows:

• High (H): 0 dB (Typical for most microphones and situations)
• Medium (M): - 3 dB (Typical for some external microphones)
• Low (L): - 6 dB (Typical for high volume external microphones)

To change the sensitivity move the sensitivity switch on the side of the device. You may hear increased noise in the M and L positions.

Note: You may hear some popping when changing sensitivity or microphone input options. This is normal and not recommended to change while recording.

External Microphones

The MightyMic Pro supports connecting external microphones designed for Smartphone headphone jacks such as the MightyMic series of microphones. The microphone must have 4 pins on the plug in order to work correctly. Earbuds with switches (Like EarPods) and 3-pin microphones made for camera's will not work with this device.

Simply insert the microphone into the headphone jack and move the switch from the internal microphone setting (I) to the external microphone setting (E). To switch back to the internal microphone you must move the switch back to the internal microphone setting (I) on the side of the device.

Note: You can only play music or record from one phone with 2 connections

If you wish to disconnect the paired phone and connect another phone you can press and hold the "MF" button for about 5 seconds. The microphone will turn into the pairing mode again and the blue and red LED's will begin flashing again.
