Did you know it’s possible to connect the lavalier microphone to the Portacapture X8?
Well you can and it’s a very simple process.
Lavalier mics are small, easily concealable microphones that are commonly used for interviews,
weddings, ceremonies, seminars,
and other speaking engagements.
Here we see a lavalier mic.
The first thing we may notice is the 3.5-mm connector at the end of the cable.
Our first impulse maybe to plug the mic into the External In on the side of the unit.
But there are actually two other 3.5-mm inputs on the
Portacapture X8 that we need to use instead.
By detaching the built-in mics on the top of the unit
we can see those two additional inputs.
First we’ll connect our lavalier mic to the channel 1 input.
Next let’s open an app on the X8 from the Launcher screen.
For the sake of ease we’ll use the Voice app.
And as we can see we’re getting signal to the Portacapture from the lavalier mic.
And there are no extra settings needed – just plug and go.
As demonstrated, using lav mics with the Portacapture X8 is a simple process.
