- Čištění: Gently wipe the microphone body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
4. Řešení problémů
- Audible Hiss/Noise Floor: If you experience an audible hiss, especially in quiet rooms, this may be due to the camera's pre-amp or phantom power supply, not the microphone itself. When recording at decent audio levels, this hiss should not be evident.
- Autofocus Motor Noise: With the included noise isolation arm, sounds from autofocus motors should be barely audible, primarily in extremely quiet surroundings. If noise persists, ensure the isolation arm is correctly positioned.
- Interference/Crackling Sound: Some cameras may exhibit noise or interference when used with the TM-2X. This can be due to compatibility issues with the camera's circuitry. Test the microphone with different cameras or recording devices to isolate the source of the interference.
- Physical Damage to Shoe Mount: The shoe mount is designed for secure attachment. Handle the microphone carefully when mounting or dismounting to prevent damage to the plastic components.
