Connecting to iPhone
The Lark Max connects to iPhone：

1、The adaptor cable should be of Apple’s official MFI certification.2、Use 3.5mm TRS to TRRS wire to connect to the Apple official Lightning to 3.5mm adaptor as shown on the left.3、Switch the microphone to the stereo mode and set the gain to around 0dB.

Using the optional USB-C to lightning adaptor cable to connect to iPhone:

1、A direct connection is acceptable.
2、Switch the microphone to the mono mode and set the gain to around 0dB.

Connecting to Android phone
The Lark Max connects to Android phone without 3.5mm TRRS interface:

1、Use 3.5mm TRS to TRRS wire to connect to the USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor as shown on the left.
2、Samsung, Honor, and Xiaomi series phones need to use digital adaptor cables that of DAC certification.3、OPPO, VIVO, and Oneplus partial phones need to be modified on the audio setting under the settings menu.

Go to the ‘Settings’ => ‘Sound & vibration’ => ‘More audio settings’ => ‘Default device’ => and select ‘External microphone’

Connecting to phone with 3.5mm TRRS interface:
 

1、A direct connection is acceptable.
2、The grey head is for the phone while the black head for the reciever’s camera interface.3、Switch the microphone to the stereo mode and set the gain to around 0dB.

Using the optional USB-C to USB-C adaptor cable to connect to phone:

1、A direct connection is acceptable.
2、Switch the microphone to the mono mode and set the gain to around 0dB.

Caution：

  1. When connecting to phones, make sure to turn off the Bluetooth on the phone, otherwise the sound collection performance from the microphone could be harmfully affected.
  2. The external playback function on the microphone is set to off by default, which requires the removal of receiver to playback any audio file on the phone’s speaker; to avoid the removal step, the ‘External playback’ function needs to be turned on from the receiver’s ‘General settings’.

Simply using a USB wire with at least one USB-C interface for the microphone is fine. 

The default audio file from the transmitter is of 48kHz 24bit lossless mono track WAV format which is unchangeable. The file can be exported and reformatted using professional audio software if necessary.
