how to install Samson XPD2 Lavalier - USB Digital Wireless System

• Step 1: Locate a free USB port on your computer, camera, or mixing console and insert the USB stick receiver. Ensure the device is powered on or connected to power if required by your setup.
• Step 2: Power on the lavalier transmitter if it has a separate power switch, or ensure the battery is installed and charged according to the user guide. In most plug-and-play scenarios, the transmitter will pair automatically with the USB receiver once powered.
• Step 3: On your recording device, select the USB input as the microphone source. This may appear as a USB audio device in your system preferences or recording software. No additional drivers are typically required on macOS; Windows users may see a generic audio driver option.
• Step 4: Clip the lavalier microphone to the talent and position it for optimal pickup. Avoid placing the mic directly over clothing seams or near loud accessories. Use a windscreen or foam cover if you expect wind or pop noise in your environment.
• Step 5: Conduct a quick test to set the gain and levels. Speak at your normal distance from the microphone and monitor the input level in your recording software. Adjust the preamp or gain control to prevent clipping while preserving natural vocal qualities. If needed, reposition the mic slightly for the most even pickup.
