Features Pt.1
The AirMic is a compact wireless microphone system that delivers pristine audio every time. Robust and intelligently designed, the AirMic comes packed with features that will ensure smooth operation and reliability for all your projects.
There are two versions of this product; AirMic Solo and AirMic Duo. It couldn’t be simpler to explain the differences between them! AirMic Solo comes with one transmitter and AirMic Duo comes with two transmitters! Both come with one receiver.
The stylish, sleek design features an easy-to-use LCD display on both receiver and transmitter units. Each adjustable parameter is displayed clearly. Mic input level is not only reflected on the transmitter unit, but also on the receiver units so teams can be sure of any changes made. This is also true of the battery life status of the transmitter, (i.e. it is also displayed on the receiver). This is to maximize information received for the person operating the receiver, (often the camera person).
The AirMic’s high-quality omnidirectional condenser microphone, built into the transmitter, provides excellent results with 110dB of SPL (sound pressure level – the amount of ‘noise’ a microphone can take before ‘clipping’ (distortion)). This exceeds the capacity of some well-known rival products of a similar nature by a sizable 10dB.
Coupled with the extremely effective windscreen provided, which has been extensively tested by iCON engineers, even windy weather won’t be able to stop you! You can, of course, choose to plug in an external microphone via the 3.5mm input on the Transmitter.
The AirMic features 2.4 GHz digital transmission for crystal-clear recording with a range of 50 meters in an empty space and 20 meters or less in an environment with physical obstacles.
A super reliable, built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery means up to 6 hours battery life, so you know the AirMic won’t let you down!
A quick, simple pairing procedure gets you up and running quickly and when you’re packing up your resources at the end of the day, all the constituent elements of the AirMic fit neatly into the supplied storage/travel pouch, ready for another day!
The AirMic can be used with iPhones, iPads and Android devices with the appropriate adapter, as well as a host of digital cameras.
Now, it’s time to open the door to vastly improved audio for your projects! Let’s begin!

Using the AirMic: Pt. 2 Getting Started
Connect any external microphones you wish to the transmitter/s, (this not compulsory as there is a very capable condenser microphone built into the device).
Ensure the line out of the receiver is connected to the equipment you are recording to, whether this be a digital camera, an Android phone, or an iPhone for example, (you may need to purchase an adapter).
Ensure headphones are not worn when you connect your devices. Ensure all input and output levels are turned down. As a general rule, always turn on equipment at low volumes in order to protect your ears as well as the equipment you are using. Then, adjust to the required levels.
On the receiver, please note that Mic input, signal strength, and battery life information of the transmitters populate two adjacent windows when two transmitters, (and the receiver) are turned on.
If you have the standard AirMic Solo set (which has one transmitter) or are only using one transmitter of your two transmitter set (AirMic Duo), Mic input, signal and battery life information will populate the first window only.
When a second receiver is paired with the transmitter, the Mic input, signal and battery life levels pertaining to this unit will display in the second window.
You should see matching information for both the receiver and the transmitter, once paired.
For example, the Mic input level of your transmitter/s should be identical in the corresponding window of the receiver.
Safety First!
The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests you should listen to your headphones at a maximum volume level of 85 decibels (dB) for a maximum 8 hours. Scientists recommend a listening range of between 60- 80 dB.
Most MP3 players, phones, and other listening devices rise above the recommended dB levels with headphones when you turn up the volume. They can normally achieve 105 dB. If you listen at these levels, it should be for a short time (10 minutes), otherwise you risk permanent damage to your hearing.
