2. General overview of the intraMic
The intraMic is a totally different sound recording system than any classic
microphone. It is composed of:
• a miniature cell inserted into the bore of the instrument,
• a preamp and a line level output to your other devices,
• an optional coupler,
• various attachement and extension parts.
While its use will quickly become natural, we encourage you firmly to go
through this guide on your first time with your intraMic.
Even though every detail of your intraMic has been designed with great care
to ensure the standard accoustic operation of your instrument, be sure to
properly follow these instructions in order not to mess with your instrument or
damage your intraMic’s cell.
Please note as well that the intraMic must be handled with care.
Also, please note that in this manual, only tenor saxophone and Bb clarinet will
be taken as examples. That being said, you should be able to be set up with all
saxophones and clarinets with little adaptations.
