The SYNCO Lav-S6M is a lavalier microphone designed for recording audio with various devices such as smartphones, cameras, camcorders, tape recorders, and computers. It is an omnidirectional condenser microphone, meaning it captures sound equally from all directions, making it suitable for interviews, presentations, and other scenarios where capturing a broad sound field is desired.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Lav-S6M is to provide high-quality audio recording in a compact and discreet lavalier form factor. It features a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, eliminating the need for external power sources during operation. A key feature is its 3.5mm monitoring port, which allows users to listen to the recording in real-time using headphones or other audio playback equipment, ensuring optimal audio capture. The microphone is designed for ease of use, with a simple ON/OFF button for activation. It comes with a 3.5mm connector, and for broader compatibility, a 3.5mm-6.3mm adapter is included. This allows it to be used with devices that have either a 3.5mm or 6.3mm audio input. For Apple devices, specifically iPhone 7 and later models, an Apple Lightning adapter is required (not included), while some Android devices may require a Type-C adapter (not included).

Important Technical Specifications:

Model: Lav-S6M
Transducer: Condenser
Polar Pattern: Omnidirectional
Frequency Range: 20Hz-19,000Hz
SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio): 75dB
Sensitivity: -30dB +/-3dB / 0dB=1V/Pa, 1kHz

These specifications indicate that the Lav-S6M is capable of capturing a wide range of frequencies, providing clear audio with a good signal-to-noise ratio. The omnidirectional polar pattern ensures comprehensive sound pickup, and the 500mAh battery capacity suggests a decent operating time before recharging is needed. The 3.5mm TRS/TRRS connection offers versatility for different device types.

Usage Features:

Microphone Placement: The lavalier mic is designed to be clipped onto clothing, positioning it close to the sound source for clear audio capture.
Device Connection:
- Plug the 3.5mm connector into the recording device (smartphone, tablet, camera, camcorder, tape recorder, computer).
- For devices with a 6.3mm input, use the included 3.5mm-6.3mm adapter.
- For specific Apple devices (iPhone 7 and subsequent models), an Apple Lightning adapter is required.
- Some Android devices may require a Type-C adapter.
Power On: Turn on the microphone using the ON/OFF button.
Recording Initiation: Open the audio or video recording application on your smartphone or camera and begin recording. Note that Android devices may require third-party applications for microphone operation.
Real-time Monitoring: Utilize the 3.5mm Audio Output Port by plugging in headphones or other playing equipment to monitor the recording effect in real-time. This allows users to ensure the audio is being captured correctly and to make adjustments as needed.
Charging: The built-in 500mAh lithium battery can be fully charged using a standard USB charger and the included USB charging cable.

Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes several key aspects for caring for the SYNCO Lav-S6M microphone to ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

Environment: Keep the product in a dry, clean, and dust-free environment. This prevents dust accumulation and moisture damage that can affect internal components.
Protection from Harmful Substances: Keep corrosive chemicals, liquids, and heat sources away from the product. Exposure to these can cause mechanical damage, corrosion, or overheating of the battery.
Cleaning: Use only a soft and dry cloth for cleaning the product. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the microphone's surface.
Physical Impact: Avoid dropping or subjecting the microphone to external force impacts. Malfunctions can be caused by physical shock, which can damage internal circuitry or the microphone capsule.
Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void the warranty and may cause irreparable damage to the delicate internal components.
Professional Repair: If any malfunctions occur, have the product checked or repaired by authorized technicians. This ensures that repairs are done correctly and with genuine parts, maintaining the product's integrity and warranty.
Adherence to Instructions: Failure to follow all instructions can result in mechanical damage. The warranty does not cover human errors or damage caused by misuse.
Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover faults resulting from inappropriate use, artificial damage (crash, squeeze, scratch, soaking), modifications without SYNCO's consent, inconsistent or altered warranty codes, consumable accessories (cable, wind muff, battery), or force majeure events (fire, flood, lightning).
