QUICK START GUIDE

It’s never been easier to record anytime, anywhere. Mikey Digital is perfect
for capturing everything around you, from live music and audio for video
lectures, interviews, and voice notes to live music and field recordings.
Mikey records it all with audio quality unheard of in a hand-held
device because Mikey is designed and engineered by Blue Microphones,
maker of award-winning high-end mics used by professional recordists
and musicians around the world. Mikey also features a USB connector,
so that you can charge your device while recording with Mikey, as well
as a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo input, allowing your iPhone or iPad to record
high-quality stereo audio directly from another audio device, micro-
phone, or instrument, such as guitar.
on your purchase of Mikey Digital from Blue Microphones.
CONGRATULATIONS
Mikey Digital incorporates the same great analog audio components, and
compact, portable size found in the original Mikey and combines it with
the latest in digital audio conversion technology, for high quality sound
with the latest generation of mobile devices. Mikey Digital allows you
to use it in a traditional plug-and-play mode, or it can utilize features
and controls that can be accessed via compatible recording applications
found on iTunes. Mikey also features three separate gain settings
(Automatic, Low, and High) and visual overload (clipping) indication,
to help you get the best quality sound whether you’re recording a lecture
from the back of an auditorium or a rock concert from the front row.

sensitivity selector
Mikey Digital utilizes a unique sensitivity selection switch to help maximize the quality of all your recordings.
This means you can set Mikey to record everything from the faintest sound to extremely loud sources without
losing audio fidelity, all with the simple slide of the three-position Sensitivity Switch.

Loud •Perfect for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, sporting events, parties, or, say,
a monster truck rally. The loud setting is fixed for sources in the 100-130dB range and will not change
sensitivity for quieter sources.
Auto Mode •Auto Mode is perfect for most volume sources like speaking voices in interviews or
meetings, or soft instruments like the violin or acoustic guitar. In Auto Mode, Mikey utilizes an automatic
gain control circuit to adjust microphone sensitivity when a sound source is quiet, and helps to keep the
microphone from overloading when a sound source is too loud. While the circuit will automatically adjust
to quiet or loud sources, we recommend using the Loud or Quiet settings if you know the source you are
recording will be consistently quiet or loud.
Quiet •Perfect for recording soft sound sources, like an un-amplified lecture, distant noises, or a pin
drop! The Quiet setting is intended for sources in the 45-65dB range and will not adjust in the event of louder
sounds. You can use Mikey’s Overload Indicator to verify that the source is not too loud for a clean recording.

overload (clipping) indicator
Mikey Digital features a built-in visual overload indicator that will help you make sure that you’re capturing
the best recording possible. When the electronic circuit inside Mikey is receiving signal nearing the point of
distortion, all three LEDs on Mikey’s frontside will flash RED to indicate that the microphone is overloading
(NOTE: The LEDs will flash RED regardless of what mode Mikey is in, Stand-alone or App Controlled). If you’re
in thexxxxmode when Mikey indicates overload, try switching to thexxxxmode. If you are inxxxxmode and your
Mikey indicates overload, try switching to thexxxxxmode. If you’re inxxxx mode and you’re still getting the
overload warning, try backing away from the sound source a bit.
USB connector
The USB connector on Mikey Digital can be used to power your device while Mikey is connected, whether you
are recording or not. This feature is great for situations when you may wish to record for long periods of
time and have a laptop or powered USB cable handy, such as a long classroom lecture, business seminar, or
