FlashMic Manager

FlashMic Manager is the software application supplied with FlashMic. The CD-ROM that came supplied contains both PC and Mac versions.

While it is perfectly possible to use FlashMic without using FlashMic Manager, you will not be using it to its full effectiveness, and will not be accessing the full range of features and functions that FlashMic offers.

Using FlashMic Manager gives three main advantages:

•You will be able to alter the internal configuration of your FlashMic, to determine which file formats and sample rates are used, and to change other FlashMic parameters.

•You will be able to change the default filename prefixes to something more meaningful to the particular job, adding, for example, a reporter’s name.

•FlashMic Manager provides a very simple method of downloading recorded files to the computer.

The installation instructions given assume that the user is familiar with basic Windows™/Mac™ operations for file handling, navigation, etc. If you are unsure how to install the software, please consult your organisation’s IT department, or your HHB dealer.
