Once everything is connected, turn on your smartphone or mp3 and set the volume at a
low level.
Next, power on the EAR3 by turning the volume knob clockwise and slide the mic switch
to the "mic on" position.
While listening to the headphones/earphones, turn up the volume slowly until you can
hear the music comfortably.
Speak or tap the EAR3 to hear the outside mic signal. You can test the EAR3 Mic
function by turning off the Mic and you should not be able to hear any surrounding
noises.
In order to set the mic volume to your personal music listening volume level, adjust the
volume on the EAR3 to increase the mic volume and music volume. However, if you use
your “source" smartphone or mp3 volume control it only controls the music volume. So
by lowering the music volume from the "source" will result in a proportionally louder
mic volume.
If you want the music to be louder than the mic, turn up the “source” and reduce the
volume knob setting. Here is a simple table to explain how to optimize the background
noise to music ratio.
Volume Knob
Music Source
Output
High High High Mic and High Music
Low High Low Mic and High Music
High Low High Mic and Low Music
By following these simple sequences, the combination of environment and background
can be adjusted to suit your personal listening preference.
