RX Settings

Function	Options	Explanation	Usage Scenarios / Note
Channel Mode	Stereo	The left and right channels correspond to the sounds of Transmitter 1 and Transmitter 2 respectively, providing a sense of space and directionality. It is convenient to adjust the volume, reduce noise, or replace audio content separately.	Two-person conversations, vlogs, ambient sounds, music, and scenes requiring a sense of direction and three-dimensionality.
	Mono	The left and right channel outputs are exactly the same, with all audio merged into a single channel. Suitable for quick video production.	Interviews, speeches, monologues, podcasts.
	Quadraphonic	Audio from each of the four Transmitters is recorded independently onto four separate channels.	Multi-person interviews, roundtable discussions, talk shows, multi-person recordings that require separate post-processing.
	Safety Track	Similar to mono, the right channel gain is 6dB lower than the left channel, serving as a backup anti-overexposure soundtrack.	Critical recordings requiring high reliability, such as concerts, live speeches, and corporate interviews.
RX Gain	-12 dB to +12 dB (manual adjustment)	Used to adjust the volume of the wireless audio signal received by the Receiver and determine the level ultimately output to the camera or mobile phone.	Adjusting the RX gain properly can keep the volume received by the camera/phone within the optimal range, avoiding input clipping (distortion) at the camera end.
Sync Camera Power	On / Off	When the Receiver is connected to the camera via a 3.5mm cable, it can be synchronized with the camera for power on/off. When the camera is turned off or the shooting is not activated, the Receiver automatically shuts down; when the camera is turned on, the Receiver automatically powers on.	Using this feature helps save microphone power.
Auto Power Off	On / Off	When the Transmitter has not been connected to a device and has not recorded within 15 minutes, it can automatically shut down to save power.	-

TX Settings

Function	Options	Explanation	Usage Scenarios / Note
Low Cut	On / Off	When activated, it automatically filters low-frequency sounds at 100Hz and below, effectively reducing low-frequency noises such as wind noise, air conditioning noise, and footsteps, making human voices cleaner and clearer.	When activated, the mic automatically cuts off frequencies at 100Hz and below. This effectively attenuates low-frequency ambient noise, such as wind, air conditioning, and footsteps, ensuring cleaner and more intelligible vocals.
TX Gain	-12 dB to +12 dB (manual adjustment)	Adjust the amplification factor of the Transmitter for the sound signal. Increasing it makes the volume louder but may introduce more background noise; decreasing it has the opposite effect.	Manual fine-tuning is suitable for fixed-distance shooting; avoid extreme values to prevent noise floor or clipping.
TX Auto Gain	Off	-	-
	Prevent Audio Clipping	Prevents audio clipping and maintains a consistent output volume.	Motorcycles, sharp noise environments.
	Dynamic Control	Balance fluctuating volume and maintain a consistent output volume.	Two-person and multi-person conversations.
Directional Pickup Mode	Omnidirectional	Default mode, captures 360° ambient sound.	Suitable for scenarios that require a natural sound field and spatial sound. Ideal for daily vlogs.
	Voice Focus (Super-directional)	It focuses on picking up the target human voice within a 60° fan-shaped area directly in front, while intelligently suppressing point-like interference sounds from the side and rear (such as voices of bystanders, horn sounds), retaining more ambient sounds from a distance (such as wind noise, air conditioning noise), resulting in a natural and comfortable listening experience.	Suitable for relatively noisy scenarios such as street interviews, street photography Vlogs, outdoor follow-up shooting, etc.
	Cardioid	Captures sound directly in front of the microphone and reduces sound from the sides and rear.	Suitable for scenarios such as ASMR creation, podcasts, livestreams, outdoor shooting, etc.
	Figure-8	Captures sound from the front and back of the microphone while reducing sound from the sides.	Suitable for scenarios such as musical instrument playing and singing, two-person face-to-face interviews, and stereo recording.
Voice Tone Preset	Standard	Clearly and evenly captures sound.	Each tone preset is a combination of reverb, compression, equalizer (EQ), and other audio effects. The standard preset is suitable for most situations.
	Rich	Enhances bass for a solid sound without feeling muddy.	Enhances vocal thickness and richness.
	Bright	Elevates highs for a crisp, transparent feel while staying smooth and non-harsh.	For a crisp, clear, and transparent sound.
32bit Float	On / Off	Avoid distortion/clipping when recording sounds with extremely wide dynamic range, and small signals can be significantly boosted during post-production without introducing noticeable noise.	Highly recommended for professional post-production, high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) environments, or scenarios requiring maximum dynamic range. When enabled, the duration that the Transmitter can record will become shorter.
Stereo Internal Recording	On / Off	Achieve single-Transmitter stereo internal recording based on a three-microphone array, similar to the stereo recording of a tape recorder.	Ideal for ASMR and ambient sound recording. When enabled, internal recordings are captured in stereo, and the file type is restricted to "Original" only.
Auto Internal Recording	Low Battery	Automatically starts internal recording when the battery is low.	Ideal for long-duration shoots, unstable signal environments, or scenarios where battery life is a concern.
Auto Internal Recording	Low Signal	Automatically starts internal recording when the signal is weak.
Loop Recording	(usually used in conjunction with internal recording)	Locally records in cycles with automatic file splitting. Once storage is full, the oldest files are overwritten to ensure continuous, uninterrupted recording.	Ideal for 24/7 monitoring and long-term unattended recording. Please ensure this feature is correctly configured to prevent important content from being overwritten.
Recording File Format	Original	Preserves lossless original audio to provide maximum flexibility for post-production.	Ideal for creators pursuing the highest fidelity who prefer to handle their own post-production.
Recording File Format	Processed	Files include built-in processing such as low cut, Noise Canceling, directional pickup, tone, and auto gain for instant, ready-to-use audio.	Optimized for quick editing and maximum workflow efficiency.
Storage	-	Displays the remaining recordable duration of the paired Transmitter.	Check before recording to avoid running out of memory midway.
Power Button Function	Mode 1: Single press to shoot. Double press to turn Noise Cancelation on/off Mode 2: Single press to turn Noise Cancelation on/off. Double press to mute.	Customize the single press/double press function of the Power Button.	Select according to personal operating habits; avoid conflicts with camera/phone shortcuts.
Child Lock	On / Off	Can only be enabled when the Transmitter’s battery is above 20%. This feature only takes effect while the device is connected (e.g., when directly connected to an X5 camera). The lock will automatically release, and Transmitter buttons will return to normal operation once disconnected.	Recommended to turn on when the device is fixed in place or tucked into a pocket to prevent accidental operation.
Vibration Alert	On / Off	Provides haptic feedback during function switching or status changes.	Enable for tactile status awareness in silent environments; disable for scenarios requiring absolute silence.
LED Indicator	On / Off	Control the display of the indicator lights on both sides of the Transmitter.	Disable to reduce light exposure for a more concealed look; enable for quick visual status checks. Indicators will automatically turn on if the Receiver or camera is disconnected.
Auto Power off	On / Off	The device automatically shuts down after 15 minutes of inactivity if no device is connected and internal recording is not active.	Enable to prevent battery drain from forgetting to power down; disable for scenarios requiring constant standby readiness.
