The SYNCO Mic-M2S is a compact and versatile microphone designed for enhanced audio recording with various devices. It is engineered to provide clear sound capture, making it suitable for a range of applications from casual recording to more professional content creation. The microphone is designed for ease of use and portability, ensuring that users can achieve quality audio without complex setups.
The SYNCO Mic-M2S functions as an external microphone that significantly improves audio quality compared to built-in device microphones. It utilizes an electret condenser transducer to capture sound with a wide frequency response, ensuring that both low and high-frequency sounds are accurately recorded. The microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, which means it is most sensitive to sound coming from the front, while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. This directional characteristic is particularly useful for focusing on a specific sound source, such as a speaker or instrument, and minimizing ambient noise.
A key feature of the Mic-M2S is its low-cut function, which can be activated to reduce low-frequency noise. This is indicated by a blue light on the microphone's status indicator. The low-cut function helps to eliminate unwanted rumble or hum, often caused by wind, air conditioning, or other environmental factors, resulting in cleaner and more intelligible audio. The microphone operates on a single AAA battery, providing a decent battery life for extended recording sessions. Its output connector is a standard 3.5mm TRS, making it compatible with a wide array of cameras, recorders, and other audio devices. For smartphone compatibility, it can be connected using a 3.5mm TRRS phone cable.
The Mic-M2S is designed to be easily integrated into existing recording setups. It comes with a shock mount that can be attached to a device via a cold shoe or a 1/4" screw hole. This shock mount is crucial for isolating the microphone from vibrations and handling noise, which can otherwise degrade audio quality. Once mounted, the microphone simply connects to the recording device, and users can begin recording using their preferred audio/video application. The microphone's status indicator provides clear visual feedback: a green light signifies that the microphone is powered on, while a blue light indicates that the low-cut function is active.
The SYNCO Mic-M2S is designed with user convenience in mind, offering straightforward operation and versatile mounting options.
Wind Muff Installation: To combat wind noise, which is a common issue in outdoor recording or in environments with air movement, the microphone includes a wind muff. This accessory is easily installed over the microphone to provide effective wind noise suppression, ensuring clearer audio capture in challenging conditions.
Mounting Options: The microphone's shock mount is a critical component for stable and clean audio recording. It can be attached to various devices using either a cold shoe mount, commonly found on cameras and camera cages, or a standard 1/4" screw hole, which is compatible with tripods, light stands, and other photographic accessories. This flexibility allows the microphone to be securely positioned for optimal sound capture, whether it's on top of a camera, on a boom pole, or on a desktop stand.
Device Connection: Connecting the Mic-M2S to a recording device is simple. Users first mount the microphone onto the shock mount. Then, depending on the device, they connect the microphone using either the supplied 3.5mm TRS camera cable for cameras and audio recorders, or a 3.5mm TRRS phone cable for smartphones and tablets. This dual-cable compatibility ensures broad device support.
Operation and Indicator: Once connected, the microphone is activated by turning it on. The status indicator provides immediate feedback: a green light confirms the microphone is powered on and ready to record. If the recording environment requires reduction of low-frequency noise, the low-cut function can be engaged, and a blue light will illuminate to confirm its activation. Users can then proceed to use their device's native or third-party audio/video recording application to capture sound.
Battery Replacement: The Mic-M2S uses a replaceable AAA battery, which is a common and easily accessible power source. The battery compartment is designed for straightforward access, allowing users to quickly replace the battery when needed, minimizing downtime during recording sessions. This design choice ensures that users are not reliant on proprietary charging solutions and can easily power their microphone on the go.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the SYNCO Mic-M2S. The manufacturer provides clear guidelines to help users care for their microphone.
Environmental Care: The microphone should always be kept in a dry, clean, and dust-free environment. Exposure to moisture, dirt, or excessive dust can damage internal components and affect performance.
Protection from Corrosive Elements: It is crucial to keep the microphone away from corrosive chemicals, liquids, and heat sources. These elements can cause irreversible damage to the microphone's materials and internal mechanics.
Cleaning: For cleaning, only a soft and dry cloth should be used. Abrasive materials or cleaning agents can scratch the surface or damage sensitive parts.
Handling Precautions: The microphone is a precision instrument and should be handled with care. Malfunctions can be caused by dropping, impact, or external force. Users should avoid subjecting the microphone to any physical shocks.
No Disassembly: Users are strictly advised not to attempt to disassemble the product. Disassembling the microphone voids the warranty and can lead to further damage. If the microphone malfunctions, it should be checked or repaired by authorized technicians.
Battery Storage: For long-term storage, it is recommended to remove the battery from the microphone. This prevents potential battery leakage, which can corrode the battery compartment and damage the device.
Adherence to Instructions: Following all instructions provided in the manual is critical. Failure to do so may result in mechanical damage, and such damage is not covered under warranty. The warranty specifically excludes human errors.
Warranty and Support: In case of any issues or malfunctions, users should contact a local agent or SYNCO's customer service via email. It is important to retain the sales receipt and warranty certificate as proof of purchase. Without these documents, only chargeable service may be provided. If the product is out of warranty coverage, service and parts costs will be charged. The warranty period for original SYNCO products is 12 months, covering quality defects under normal use. Artificial damage, such as crashes, squeezes, scratches, or soaking, are explicitly excluded from the warranty.
