ENGLISH

In the example, several files are in the FlashMic’s AUDIO folder. The first of these is named

MIC_0_JOHN_TRK00.wav.

In this filename, MIC_01 is the FlashMic name that was set in FlashMic Manager for the

configuration file loaded into the FlashMic.

JOHN – possibly the recordist’s name - is the BWF/MPEG File Name set in FlashMic

Manager for one of the presets. We do not know from the .wav filename which preset

number this was, but ‘John’ would have had this information, and would have selected this

preset.

TRK001 is the track number – the first recording of the day, perhaps.

Looking at the other filenames in the folder, it can be seen that they all begin with MIC_0,

which would be the case if the FlashMic name (DRM Name) was not changed during the

course of the recording period, by uploading a new configuration file with a different DRM

Name. Some of the files differ in the BWF/MPEG File Name component; this is where the

FlashMic was used by – in our example – different recordists, who each selected a different

preset. Note finally, that no track number is repeated. Further recording identification can

of course be obtained from the date/time file information, which will be accurate as long as

the internal clock was set correctly beforehand.

How you will use the file naming system will greatly depend on the type of organisation using

the FlashMic(s), how many are in use, how many people are using each FlashMic, the kind

of recordings being made, etc. In the simplest of single-mic/single-owner situations, all the

default settings can be used with little chance for confusion.

Reformatting the Memory

The FlashMic’s GB flash memory can be reformatted if wished. This is desirable after a

firmware update, and is essential if the FlashMic is formatted via USB from a computer. It

is also a convenient method of clearing all sound files from the memory.

To reformat the internal memory, proceed as follows:

With the FlashMic turned off, hold down all three side panel buttons -

REC (G), PLAY (H) & M/STOP (M) – simultaneously.

With the three buttons depressed, turn the FlashMic on. The LCD

display will show

FMT N

. If you are sure you want to proceed, using the

jogwheel make a SHORT DOWN TURN to change the display to

FMT Y

, then

a SHORT PUSH to accept this.

The display will now show

FORMAT

. Reformatting takes about 35 seconds to

complete. The FlashMic then returns to IDLE mode.

!

IMPORTANT: Reformatting the flash memory will permanently delete any sound files and
Preset data still in the FlashMic, so ensure that all your sound files have been downloaded to
a computer before proceeding.
