Audio noise when using an external microphone with the VIRB

When using an external microphone, it is possible to pick up Radio Frequency (RF) interference resulting in noticeable audio noise while recording.

To reduce audio noise:

  • Avoid placing external microphone near RF transmitters, such as cell phones or wireless routers
  • Disable Wi-Fi on the VIRB Elite, X, XE, or ULTRA 30 while recording
  • Place external microphone as far away from VIRB as possible while recording

Utilizing these recommendations can reduce background noise and enhance audio on the VIRB.
