(Summary description)Q&A Time for Comica Traxshot Transformable Microphone     Since the launch of Traxshot on January 8, friends from all over the world have left messages to us, expressing their love for this all-in-one shotgun mic. And also ask some questions for Traxshot. Here, we Comica team will give answers to these questions.   1. How about the sound quality of the Traxshot?       What everyone is most concerned about is the sound quality of the Traxshot. Traxshot has a wide frequency range of 20Hz-20KHz. Signal-to-noise ratio over 60dB, Traxshot can effectively reduce signal noise interference. Super-high restoration of the target sound source and the audio is thick and uniform. With outputting RAW audio files, Traxshot is more convenient for post-production.                   2. Is the transformable mics of Traxshot strong enough? How many times can it be rotated?     The durability of a product usually depends on the material and construction. The main body of Traxshot using metal material improves the stability and shielding. The mic tube part is made of high-quality PC and ABS materials, light and durable. Until now, we have tested by electric motor jig rotation that the two mic tubes can be rotated more than 20k times without worry. We reasonably predict that it could be rotated at least millions of times.               3. What is the difference between the two stereo modes?     30-degree (S1) stereo mode The 30-degree (S1) stereo mode adopts a V-type layout, recording width from 300° to 330°. This configuration covers a stereo width equivalent to the image created by common 35-mm camera lenses. S1 stereo mode is suitable for small-scale recordings. Like foley sound recording, videography, vlog and so on.   90-degree (S2) stereo mode Adopting an X/Y layout, Traxshot in the 90-degree (S2) stereo mode can capture a wider range of sounds, and the sound will be more balanced. It is an excellent choice for a wider range recordings. Such as party, music live, concert, etc.     4. Could you get two audio tracks from the Traxshot when in Bi-directional mode?     In Bi-directional mode, the first batch of Traxshot only supports two mics output in a mono track. We released the new firmware on January 20th on Comica official website. After the upgrade, the audio is divided into two tracks when in T mode. You can also check the version number by long-pressing the mode button.   5. Is the air-float shock-absorption durable? How effective is the shock-absorption?     Being widely used in the field of Drone, air-float shock-absorption has developed quite maturely. The new air-float shock-absorption used by Traxshot circumvents the drawbacks of traditional Rycote shock mounts that only absorb front and rear shocks. It is upgraded to all-around shock absorption, which greatly enhances the stability of your recording.   6. Is the Traxshot compatible with smartphones or computers? Does it support stereo recording when connected to smartphones or computers?     Equipped with a TRS audio cable and a TRRS audio cable, Traxshot is certainly compatible with smartphones, cameras, and computers(Adapter cables needed according to your devices). When used in smartphones and laptops, the stereo tracks will be automatically merged into mono by the recording devices.   7. With the built-in wind shielding, do we need a windscreen when shooting outside?     Traxshot's unique built-in windproof design can effectively reduce basic wind noise. But when encountered heavy wind noise, the high-density windscreens could assist you to meet a better audio experience.   8. What is the best recording distance for Traxshot?   As a super-cardioid shotgun microphone, the best recording distance of the Traxshot is within 3.5m.   9. Does Traxshot support working while charging? Will there be lots of noise by doing so?   Yes! It supports! And almost no noise would be generated. Furthermore, the USB-C port supports charging and also system upgrading.   All above are the frequent questions we received about the Traxshot recently. Have we answered your question? If not, please feel free to contact us. And you can join our user group to have further communication with us!
