Supplementary Information
To guarantee the best experience with your TinyMike, Ambient provides 2 different
3-pin Binder to mini jack interconnection cables:
One cable is unmarked and a straight connection to the camera/ recorder while the other one is
marked with a yellow sleeve and attenuates the signal level for recording high sound levels.
This helps to compensate for the wide variation in input sensitivity on devices with this kind of input
and their partial lack of manual level control.
Since it is almost impossible to give a globally valid recommendation it may become necessary to
evaluate the right cable for your application and gear and do a test.
We would advise to start with the unmarked/ unpadded cable and move over to the padded one only if
the audio shows one or more of these symptoms:
•
Too loud
•
Obtrusive AGC engagement ("pumping" background sounds in lower passages)
•
Distorted audio even though signal metering in the display is still below max.
Contrary, the unpadded cable may be indicated if the recording shows increased noise and hiss.
We hope you enjoy recording with our gear.

and dry under all conditions, even when powered off. Clean gently with a slightly moistened cloth and
never let water, detergents or liquids of any kind get into the unit as this will imply the risk of short
circuits and electrical hazard.
Keep distant from sources of heat and never expose to direct sunlight. Admissible ambience
temperature for operation and storage is from +5° to +50° Celsius. Power down before storing or
shipping, detach external power sources, and, if applicable remove batteries.
Do not throw or expose to mechanical impact and keep it safe from hard vibrations.
Only use genuine accessories such as cables antennae etc. which have been included with the unit or
supplied by an authorized dealer. Always observe integrity and the pertinent compatibility with all units
connected to.
Powering from external sources is exclusively limited to the use of LPS sources in compliance to part
2.5 of EN 60950-1 with correct polarity, voltage range, and current rating. Disregarding recommended
power requirements may damage the product or even risk explosion of the internal backup cell.
Do not perform software updates in situations in which the integrity of mains supply cannot be granted
such as thunderstorms and remove connections from and to all devices directly or in directly
connected to mains.
When using the wireless connection, place it centrally and keep it distant from sources of possible
interference such as microwaves or electrical devices with large metal surfaces.
Only use the original external antenna directly and firmly attached to the socket. Extension or use of
3rd party accessories is not permissible.
