Vectra
MIC-1 Electret Condenser Microphone
The Vectra MIC-1 stereo microphone fits most digital video and DSLR cameras. This
microphone offers more natural improved sound over what you will normally get with the mic
built in to your camera or camcorder. Its high sensitivity and strong directional capability gives
you superb clarity for subjects that are further away. The Vectra MIC-1 offers a selectable pick-
up pattern to get the best sound depending on the scene you are recording.
Important Notes:
The microphone is a sensitive precision instrument. DO NOT subject it to impact or
excessive vibration. Keep it away from high temperatures and humidity.
If the microphone is operated near an amplifier you will experience feedback. If this
happens, move the microphone away from the amplifier or turn down the volume of the
amplifier.
Changing the mode switch while recording will cause the switch noise to be recorded.
If the windscreen gets wet from rain or other sources, it should be dried in a cool, dry
place. Avoid drying in direct sunlight to prevent deterioration of the foam.
