I. Microphone gain

1. How many gain levels does the microphone have, and what are the recommended usage scenarios?

Model	Gain Levels	Recommended Usage Scenarios
Mic	Transmitter (TX) gain range: -12dB to +12dB, supporting manual adjustment or enabling TX Auto Gain.	It can be fine-tuned according to the actual recording environment to keep the receiving device's volume within an ideal range, preventing issues such as audio clipping and sound distortion.
Mic Pro	Transmitter (TX) gain range: -12dB to +12dB, supporting manual adjustment or enabling automatic TX gain mode.	It can be fine-tuned according to the actual recording environment to keep the receiving device's volume within an ideal range, preventing issues such as audio clipping and sound distortion.
Mic Air	When the transmitter is used with the receiver, the receiver provides 3 gain levels.	In relatively quiet environments, Level 1 or 2 is recommended; in noisy environments, Level 3 is recommended.

2. How many modes does TX Auto Gain have, and what are the recommended use scenarios?

TX Auto Gain offers the following three modes:

• Off: Gain adjustment is not enabled.
• Prevent Audio Clipping: Prevents audio clipping and maintains a balanced output volume. Suitable for motorcycling and environments with sharp noise.
• Dynamic Control: Balances fluctuating volume and maintains a consistent output volume. Suitable for daily two‑person or multi‑person conversations.

II. When used with a mobile phone

Does the phone support audio playback while connected with the receiver?

Yes, playback is supported without removing the receiver.

III. Camera audio recording

1. When connected directly to the transmitter via Bluetooth, does X5 support dual-track audio recording from the camera's built-in microphone and the external microphone?

Yes.

2. Does the microphone support dual-track audio capture by connecting one transmitter to the camera via Bluetooth while another transmitter is connected via the receiver?

No. The camera's dual-track audio capture uses the camera's built-in microphone as one of the audio input sources by default.

In this scenario, the audio for the recorded video will be captured from the camera's microphone and the Mic Series microphone connected via Bluetooth; the audio captured from the Mic Series microphone connected via the receiver will not be utilized by the camera.
