Azden WLX-PRO Wireless Lavalier Mic Setup for Video

Quick answer

Set up the Azden WLX-PRO by inserting batteries, selecting clear frequencies on both units, connecting the lavalier mic, and mounting the receiver to your camera before recording.

Step-by-step setup

1. Install batteries: Open the battery compartments on both the transmitter and receiver and insert fresh batteries. Check polarity and close securely. Use fresh batteries and confirm the power LEDs light up.
2. Select a frequency: Choose one of the two operating frequencies on the transmitter, then set the receiver to the same frequency. If you hear interference, switch both to the other frequency. Always set both units to the same frequency; mismatch causes silence.
3. Connect the lavalier mic: Plug the omnidirectional lavalier mic into the bodypack transmitter. Clip the mic to your subject's collar about 6-8 inches from their mouth. Position the mic away from clothing to reduce rustle noise.
4. Mount the receiver: Slide the receiver into the camera's shoe mount and secure it. Use the included mono-to-stereo adapter cable to connect the receiver's output to your camera's microphone input. Ensure the cable is firmly connected to avoid intermittent audio.
5. Test the audio: Turn on both units and do a test recording. Monitor the audio levels and adjust the camera's input gain so the sound is clear without clipping. Always check the recording with headphones before the actual shoot.
