Intro to Audigo

Audigo is an all-in-one creation platform that turns any Android or iOS device into a pocket-size recording studio. Audigo’s wireless microphone, mobile app, and cloud services enable musicians, podcasters and other creators to seamlessly record, mix, edit and collaborate to create effortless high-quality audio and video.

In the Box

Each Audigo order includes:

1x Audigo Wireless Mic
1x USB-C charging cable
1x Magnetic multi-mount

The Mic

Overview

The Audigo mic is a smart, wireless microphone with two built-in 10mm condenser microphone capsules.

The first capsule is a directional “mid” mic (with a cardioid polar pattern).
The second capsule is a bi-directional “side” mic (with a figure-eight polar pattern).
Each capsule has a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz and can handle up to 120 dB max SPL (at 1kHz).

The two capsules combine to create a mid-side adjustable stereo recording setup. The Audigo mic captures and stores recordings directly to on-board memory to ensure lossless recording quality before transferring the audio to the Audigo app.

The mic’s rechargeable lithium battery can power it for up to 6 hours of continuous recording, and takes just 2 hours to charge.

The Audigo mic regularly receives automatic firmware updates with new features and improvements.

The mic and app are compatible with any Android device (phone or tablet) running Android 10 or newer. Each microphone can be paired with up to four (4) Android or iOS devices.

Connectivity

Audigo microphones use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to connect to your Android device. Bluetooth is only used to start and stop recording while Wi-Fi is used to transfer audio from the mic to the app.

The mics create their own Wi-Fi network to connect with your Android device so they can be used anywhere, but you can also connect to an available 5GHz Wi-Fi network for additional performance. Up to four (4) Wi-Fi networks can be stored in the app settings.

In a typical recording session, the mic and app will communicate over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the following manner:

Initial Connection

The app and mic establish communication via a Bluetooth connection.

Starting and Stopping Recording

Pressing either the record button on the phone or the button on the mic signals the recording to start or stop via Bluetooth.

The phone records video while the mic records audio. Your recordings are saved locally to each device as they are created.

Transferring Audio Files

The mic transfers the audio files to the phone via a Wi-Fi connection. You can connect the app to your home Wi-Fi network for faster transfers, or the mic can generate its own temporary network. If a transfer fails, the audio files are saved on the mic and can be transferred later.

Controls, Lights, and Charging

The Audigo mic has a single button and single status light on the front of the mic. Use the mic’s button to turn it on and off, start and stop recordings, or put the mic back into pairing mode. The status light will provide information about the current state of the mic.

Mic status light	Pulsing White - On, Disconnected Solid White - On, Connected Solid Red - Recording Solid Blue - In pairing mode, ready to pair Pulsing Amber - Charging Solid Amber - Charging Complete Flashing Amber - Low Battery
Mic control button	Turn On: Short press when mic is off Turn Off: Long press when mic is on Start/Stop Recording: Short press when mic is on and app is ready to record Pair with a New Device: Press and hold until the status light turns blue (up to 20 seconds).

USB‑C port

Use the included USB-C cable to connect a compatible USB power adapter.

Using the Mount

The magnetic multi mount has two parts that allow it to attach to a variety of readily available mic stands and accessories.

To separate the multi mount, grab the top part of the mount (the “puck”) and pull apart from the U-shaped clip that holds it.

The puck, which has 1/4"-20 threading, connects to tripods or other portable accessories, and the main base part, which has a 5/8" threading, connects to standard mic stands.

The Audigo mic has a magnetic base and can be mounted to other magnetic surfaces without a mount.

Setting up Audigo

To set up your Audigo mic and app for the first time, start by installing the “Audigo Studio” Android app and completing the app’s guided onboarding process.

Download the Audigo app for Android by launching the Google Play Store app and searching for "Audigo Studio" or by clicking this link from your Android device.
Launch the Audigo app and select “Set up Audigo”
Sign in using the account you created when you purchased Audigo from www.audigolabs.com
Note: If you received Audigo as a gift, or want to create a new account, select “Sign up” at the bottom of the screen and follow the steps to create a new account. You will be asked to enter the verification code sent to your email address.
Continue through the onboarding process by reviewing the License Agreement and permissions requests. Bluetooth and Local Network permissions are required in order for the Audigo app and mic to function.
After approving the required permissions, pair your mic to the app. Turn on the mic and ensure it is in Pairing Mode with the blue light on. The app will detect the mic and prompt you to pair with it. Accept the Bluetooth pairing request in the app.
Note: To put the mic in pairing mode, press and hold the button on the mic for 10-20 seconds until the status light turns blue.

Note: You must pair the mic through the app. Do not use the phone's Bluetooth settings to pair.
Once you have connected your mic, you will have the option to add a Home Wi-Fi network. Tap “Connect To Home Wi-Fi” and choose the network you would like to add to Audigo.
Note: Audigo currently supports 5GHz Wi-Fi routers only.

Note: A Home Wi-Fi network is not required to use Audigo. Audigo mics can generate their own networks for transferring recordings in any location. If using Audigo without a Home Wi-Fi network, the app will prompt you to connect to the mic’s wireless network after the recording. Tap “Join” to connect and proceed with the transfer.
Tap “Get Started” to complete the setup process.

Recording Audio or Video

Create a New Project

To create a new project in Audigo tap from the Project List view.

Import

To import a track into a project:

Open the project or create a new one.
Navigate to the Record view in the project and tap “Import a Track”.
Select the location on your device you want to import from, navigate to the file, and select it. The selected track will be added to the project as a new track.

Note: Audigo supports importing .wav and .m4a audio formats on Android.

Soundcheck

Soundchecking each Audigo mic and adjusting its levels is an important step in the recording process. Use Soundcheck to ensure each mic’s signal is strong and free of distortion.

Turn on your mic and ensure it is connected to the app.
Position your mic for recording.
Note: Mic placement is important for great sounding recordings. In most cases, positioning the mic close to the sound source and pointing the front of the mic directly at it (the side with the button and light) will result in the best quality.
With the mic connected to the app, access the Soundcheck feature through any of the following paths:

Tap " Soundcheck" from the Record view in an empty project.
Tap to access the Mics view and select “ Soundcheck” from the Quick Actions section near the bottom of the screen.
Tap on your mic from the Record view in a project and tap “Soundcheck” from the mic’s detail view.

Test the mic level by speaking, singing, or playing an instrument at the intended recording volume, aiming to replicate the loudest level you expect during the recording while observing the sound meter. Adjust the gain up or down using the Gain slider so the sound meter fills the green section at the loudest parts, but never enters the red area.
You may need to repeat this step to ensure the settings are correct.
Note: You may also want to create a short test recording to listen back to and ensure the settings are to your liking.

Toggle Camera On and Off

You can choose to capture audio only or audio with video.

From the Record view within a project, enable video recording by turning the camera ON using the toggle switch. To make an audio-only recording, use the toggle switch to turn the camera OFF.

Create an Audio Recording

To record audio, navigate to the Record view within a project. Ensure the camera toggle is set to OFF and tap once to start the recording and again to stop it when complete.

Recordings can also be started and stopped using the button on any Audigo mic that is turned on and connected to the app.

Audio recordings can be started from any point in a project’s timeline. Simply swipe left and right on the track stack to adjust the playhead to the desired location before starting and recording.

Create a Video Recording

To record with video, ensure the camera toggle is set to ON and set up the shot using the video preview.

Adjust the following video settings based on your preferences:

Camera (Rear or forward facing)
Frame Rate (24 / 30 / 60 fps)
Quality (HD or 4K)
Timer (Toggle a 10 second countdown timer On/Off)

Tip: Long videos can create large files. If you’re worried about creating files that are too large, choose HD quality and a 24fps frame rate.

Additionally, you can:

Zoom in/out using a pinching gesture
Focus the video on the subject by tapping anywhere in the preview
Lock and adjust focus and exposure settings by tapping-and-holding anywhere in the preview screen

Once the video is set up to your liking, tap once to start the recording and again to stop it when complete.

Recordings can also be started and stopped using the button on any Audigo mic that is turned on and connected to the app.

Video recordings can be started from any point in a project’s timeline. Simply swipe left and right on the track stack to adjust the playhead to the desired location before starting and recording.

Note: When you export a file after recording it, you’ll need the same amount of space (or more space) open on your device than the video size. So, if you have a long video file that is 30GB, you will need 30GB of space open on your phone in order to export or share the video file.

Saving or Discarding a Recording or Stopping a Transfer

After stopping a recording, Audigo will automatically save it and begin transferring the audio recorded on the mic to the app. You can monitor the progress of the transfer and choose at any time to discard the recording or stop the transfer and resume later.

To discard a recording, tap on the icon and select “Confirm Discard”. The recording will be deleted from the project permanently.

To stop a transfer, tap the icon during a transfer or swipe down or tap off of the Transfer Audio view. Select “Stop Transfer” to confirm stopping the transfer. Your recordings will be stored on the mic and be available for transfer in the future.

Multitrack Projects

Record multiple audio tracks into an Audigo project using the multi track recording feature.

To layer or overdub audio tracks:

Make an initial recording or import an audio file into a project.
Start another recording by tapping
Audigo will start recording and you will be able to hear previously recorded tracks in the project playing as a reference.
Note: Be sure to use headphones while listening to previously recorded or imported audio so that it does not get picked up in new recordings.
Each incremental recording will show up as a new track in the mixing interface on the Edit view.

Using Headphones with Audigo

Be sure to utilize headphones when creating multi track audio projects. This enables listening to previously recorded or imported tracks without the reference audio being picked up in the new recordings.

Audigo is compatible with both wired and Bluetooth headphones.

While many Bluetooth headphones will work with Audigo, for best results, we recommend using Apple AirPods or Beats headphones.

Note: As audio is recorded to memory on the mic, live monitoring of what you are currently recording is not possible.

Tip: You may find it helpful to leave one headphone out or use Transparency mode on your headphones to balance hearing the subject of the recording and the reference audio clearly at the same time.

Playback

Playback audio projects from either the Record or Edit views within a project.

For video playback, navigate to the Edit view within a project and tap the play button. Tap on the video to expand it to full screen mode.

Audigo can playback audio to any compatible device that is set up with your Android device. This includes the phone or tablet's internal speakers, wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

Mixing & Editing

Once you’ve imported or recorded something, navigate to the Edit view to mix and edit your project.

In this view, you can name each track and adjust its levels, balance, stereo width and effects. You can also mute or delete tracks from a project.

Edit Track Name

Select the desired track from the track selector strip and tap it again to open the options menu. Select “Edit Track Name”.

Add a name and a two character label to the track.

Note: This tool is helpful when recording multiple tracks with various instruments or parts you would like to define and reference while editing.

Deleting a Track

To delete a track, select the track you would like to delete and swipe to the end of the effect selector and tap the delete icon .

You can also delete tracks by selecting the desired track from the track selector strip, tapping it again to open the options menu, and selecting “Delete Track”.

Adjust Track Level and Pan

Adjust the level (or volume) of each track by selecting it in the Edit view and dragging it up or down in the mixing grid.

Similarly, adjust the pan of each track by dragging it left (L) or right (R) in the mixing grid to move it in that direction in the mix.

Stereo Width Adjustment

The Audigo mic has a mid-side stereo recording configuration (see Mic Overview at the beginning of the guide), and the app allows you to adjust the stereo width of any recorded track after you have recorded.

Setting a stereo width of 0% will remove all sound captured by the side mic, and will result in a mono signal of just the sound from the front, mid mic. This setting is recommended when capturing a single audio source, such as a one vocalist or when trying to minimize background noise.

Setting a stereo width above 0% will bring more of the bi-directional “side” mic sound into the track, and will create a sense of width and depth. This setting is recommended when capturing acoustic instruments, multiple sound sources, or to include more ambient or room sound.

To adjust the stereo width for a track, first select the track from the track selector strip on the Edit view, then tap on Stereo in the effects selector. This will open the controls for adjusting stereo width. Adjust the stereo width slider while listening to your recording or use the toggle to turn it off and on.

Single mic recordings will automatically default to 50% stereo width after recording. Multi-mic recordings will automatically default to 0% stereo width to ensure maximum isolation of each sound source, but can always be adjusted after.

Note: For best results, use headphones or a stereo pair of playback speakers to listen to the project while making stereo width adjustments.

Note: This adjustment is unavailable on imported tracks as they were not recorded directly with an Audigo microphone.

Mute

Select Mute to silence a track. The muted track will appear crossed out when muted.

Solo

Tap Solo to isolate the selected track and enter Solo mode. To exit Solo mode, tap on the “Solo Active” banner in the mixing grid.

Effects

Apply effects to each track individually. Select the track from the track selector strip and tap on the effect you want to adjust to open its respective controls.

Reverb

Simulates the natural reflections of sound waves in an environment, creating a sense of space and depth by adding multiple, gradual echoes.

EQ

EQ adjusts sound frequencies to make audio clearer or more balanced. Adjust five (5) bands independently to create a “Custom” setting or choose from presets that optimize for Warmth, Clarity, Presence, or Bass.

To share a project, tap the icon at the bottom of the Record or Edit views.

Select from the following sharing and export options:

Video - share the project as a .mov (iOS) or .mp4 (Android) video file (only available for video projects)
WAV - share the project as a lossless .wav audio file
M4A - share the project as a compressed .m4a audio file
Export Multitrack - share the project as a .zip file which contains all of the individual audio and video tracks as individual, time aligned .wav and .mov files. Audio files will be “dry” meaning reverb and delay will be disabled and volume and pan settings will be ignored. Any EQ, compression or stereo adjustments will be applied.

Next, select where you want to share to from the list of compatible apps or destinations. These include social media apps, text message, email, saving locally and more.

To save a video to your device's files folder, select "Files" from the list.

To make audio recordings in Audigo available to use in other apps, select “Files". If you are exporting a multi track recording as a zip, you will need to unzip the folder in your Files app before starting to import into another app.

Please note that, when exporting a file, your device needs to have at least as much free storage space as the file’s size. For example, if your project is 500 MB, your phone must have at least 500 MB of available storage in order to export or share the full project.

Note: You can also access sharing options by tapping next to the project name in the project list view of the Audigo app and selecting “Share / Export”
