Example of using the wedge
Positioning your Device

Positioning the Microphone
We recommend the microphone is either clipped to your clothing or a lanyard, about 6 inches below the chin (mid-chest).
Be aware that items such as jewelry can rub and bump the microphone so you may need to remove those to prevent loud noises and interference.
