Microphone Setup
Connecting an external microphone to your iPad allows you to capture high-quality audio for Video.
To ensure a successful setup, confirm that you have your wired microphone and a compatible power/audio splitter ready. Because the HALO app requires a constant power supply for professional events, using a splitter is the only way to maintain your battery while the microphone port is occupied.
Setup Instructions
If your microphone is brand new, refer to the manufacturer’s manual to complete any required initial configuration or firmware updates before connecting it to the iPad.
Plug your splitter or USB hub into the iPad. Insert your charging cable and your microphone into the respective ports on the adapter.
Power Tip: While you can plug a microphone directly into the iPad for quick testing, a splitter is required for live events to ensure the iPad doesn't run out of battery.
Launch the HALO app and advance to the PreFlight Check screen. This is where you verify that all hardware components are communicating correctly with the software.
Locate the Devices section. You should see your external microphone listed as the active input.
Don't see it? If the mic doesn't appear, tap the "More Info" button to trigger a rescan for external audio devices.
Testing Your Audio
We recommend taking a test video during your setup to playback and verify that the audio levels are clear and that there is no interference from the booth's environment.
