Vzdrževanje

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BOYA BY-CIP2 cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Shranjevanje: Kabel shranjujte na hladnem in suhem mestu, stran od neposredne sončne svetlobe in ekstremnih temperatur. Izogibajte se tesnemu zvijanju ali ostremu upogibanju kabla, saj lahko to poškoduje notranje žice.
• Čiščenje: Gently wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ravnanje: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself. This prevents strain on the connection points.

Odpravljanje težav

If you encounter issues while using your BY-CIP2 cable, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Brez avdio vhoda:
  • Ensure your microphone is baterijsko napajanje and its batteries are charged. The BY-CIP2 cable does not provide phantom power.
  • Verify that both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the microphone and your device.
  • Check your device's audio settings or recording application to ensure the external microphone is selected as the input source.
  • Test the microphone directly with another compatible device if possible, to rule out a microphone issue.
• Poor Audio Quality / Signal Degradation:
  • Ensure all connections are firm and free from debris.
  • Izogibajte se namestitvi kabla v bližini virov elektromagnetnih motenj (npr. napajalnih kablov, usmerjevalnikov Wi-Fi).
  • Test with a different microphone or audio source to determine if the issue lies with the cable or the connected device.
  • Check the microphone's settings (gain, sensitivity) to ensure they are appropriate for your recording environment.
• Incompatibility with TRS Microphones (e.g., Rode TRRS to TRS):
  • The BY-CIP2 is designed to connect a TRS (stereo) microphone to a TRRS (smartphone) input. If you are trying to convert a TRRS microphone (like some Rode models designed for smartphones) to a TRS input, this cable is not suitable. Ensure your microphone's output type matches the cable's input requirement (TRS microphone into the BY-CIP2's TRS female jack).
