ANTLION AUDIO GDL-1500 ModMic USB Attachable Boom Microphone Installation Guide

Installation

Surface Selection

Find a flat spot on the headphones for the 0.5 inch / 12.7mm circle of adhesive. The adhesive will stick to smooth and mesh surfaces but does not stick well to porous, lacquered, or rubberized surfaces.

1. Put the headphones on to ensure the ModMic will reach the corner of your mouth from the desired mounting point.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry the surface with the included alcohol pad.

Attaching & Orientation

1. Attach a to the top clasp that holds the ModMic’s boom.

2. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive.

3. While holding the top clasp, orient the mic boom angle down so it points towards where your mouth will be when using your headphones. (This will reduce the need for additional bends in the boom after installation—see Figure A).
   

4. Press the whole mic/clasp down onto the cleaned spot and hold firmly for 60 seconds. Allow the adhesive to cure for 1 hour.

5. To reverse the orientation of the boom from the left earcup to the right, do not remove the boom’s screw-on clasp. Simply re-bend the cable end of the boom downward in the opposite shape (see Figure B).
   
   Always ensure the cable is pointing downward to prevent cable breaks.

Getting the most from your ModMic USB

1. The mic is sensitive to plosive blast/wind from your mouth, especially “P” sounds (see Figure C).
   

2. To lessen unwanted cable torque on the clasp, fold the cable end of the boom so that it is close to the clasp (see Figure D).
   

3. Ensure the selector switch on the boom is pointed towards your mouth (see Figure E ).
   

Do you need a little more help?

Here are some common troubleshooting steps that may help you out.

1. Ensure the mute switch is unmuted. A red light means the mic is muted. Press the button one time to mute/unmute.
2. Make sure you have the ModMic selected as your default listening device in your recording devices options.
3. Try multiple ports on your computer/device if you’re having audio quality issues.
4. Test both uni-directional (switch towards the mic tip) and omni directional modes (see Fig E).
5. If you need additional help contact us at [email protected] for service.
6. Some wireless routers may cause interface if close to the mic/cable.
