Using your microphone

Recording sound

To use the microphone and make recordings, you must first install the Audio Recorder application, which is available on Google Play™. Once this application is installed, your recordings get saved as WAV or MP4 files depending on the sound quality option you select. The files are saved in the Recordings folder on the internal storage of your Xperia device.

For some Xperia devices, you must activate the microphone via the sound settings the first time you connect the STM10 microphone. The Xperia device then automatically uses the STM10 microphone as the default microphone for sound recording whenever it's connected. However, if you use more than one five-pole audio accessory with your device, you may need to activate the STM10 microphone every time you connect it.

Strong wind conditions may cause your STM10 to shut down during recording. If this happens, the built-in microphone on the Xperia device becomes active and the recording continues. For best results when recording outdoors, use the wind sock that is included at purchase.
