Connecting with Bluetooth

You can use your Airpods or other bluetooth microphones to record video in Detail iOS. When you connect your Airpods to your phone and open Detail, you'll see a label at the top that says Bluetooth Audio connected.

The app will use your Airpod's microphone as the audio input source.

Connecting to newer iPhones with USB-C

The integration of USB-C ports in newer iPhone models simplifies the connection of external devices, including USB microphones. Here’s the effortless way to hook it up:

Direct connection: Use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your microphone directly to your iPhone. This approach negates the need for additional adapters, ensuring a hassle-free setup.

Connecting to older iPhones

Owners of older iPhones aren't left out. An adapter bridges the gap between your microphone's USB connection and your iPhone's Lightning port:

Lightning to USB-C adapter: This essential adapter links your USB microphone to your iPhone.

Power and audio in one: Opt for the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter if you need to charge your iPhone while using the microphone.

In short

  1. Connect the microphone: Attach your USB microphone to the appropriate adapter or connect your bluetooth microphone.

  2. Add power: If using a USB 3 adapter, connect a power source for uninterrupted use.

  3. Open Detail: Open the Detail app to ensure it recognizes the external microphone.

  4. Check the audio connection: Before recording you can check if your microphone icon is connected correctly. It will shows an USB or Bluetooth sign in the Detail app. If you do have something connected but you don't see the microphone icon update, please restart the app.
