AUDIO OUTPUT GAIN
The right output level depends on your camera /
recorder. Set it up at the highest level possible,
but low enough so that your camera / recorder
doesn't clip when you blow into the mic.
OUTPUT MODE
TRS: output a stereo signal (L+R). Used for cameras,
recorders, etc.
TRRS: mimick a headset microphone. This is useful
to record on a smartphone or a tablet.
Your PicoBase will use the right mode automatically.
Always connect the cable to your PicoBase
first, then to your audio device.
Else, the auto-detection might not work and
your equipment might not detect that the
PicoBase is connected.

DOWNLOAD THE LATEST FIRWMARE
We regularly add new features through free firmware updates.
We highly recommend that you update your PicoMic at its first use,
to benefit from the latest features & developments.
1. Get the latest firmware at picogear.com.
2. Turn your PicoBase on, go to the Settings menu
and select Firmware update.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
This will update your PicoBase receiver, and the PicoMics
when they are put in the charging dock.

PAIR YOUR PICOMICs
If your PicoMic are not already paired:
1. Use the UP and DOWN keys to navigate to the MIC1 or MIC2
box showing"NO PAIRED MIC".
You can set your mic as MIC1 or MIC2.
2. Click on the OK button, and follow the instructions.

SET YOUR OUTPUT GAIN
1. Set the audio gain on the camera / recorder to its lowest level.
Beause the pre-amps in many cameras perform poorly and have
high noise levels at high gains.
2. Use the highest gain level on the PicoBase receiver (without
clipping)
Use the VU-meter on your camera or recorder to check if you clip
when you blow into the mic. Set the highest gain on the PicoBase
receiver which doesn't clip on your camera. Typical gains for DSLR
cameras are near -24dB.
Note: once you have found the appropriate gain, do not change it
to get more or less audio gain. Instead, depending on your sound
environment, always use the Mic gain setting.
-10 dB

SET YOUR MIC GAIN
This gain should be adapted depending on your sound
environment.
Set it up so that you have medium levels on the VU-meter
(-20dB) when speaking normally.
A Noise reduction feature is available at higher gains to
get a crystal-clear speech quality.
