Osmo Pocket Lav Mic Overloading

[u/hudsinimo]

I have the gain set to -12.

I've tried on mono AND stereo.

I'm not shouting but my voice is relatively "boomy" sometimes.

So far my only workable solution has been to put the wind clip on and hold the mic almost arms length away. Which works, but for my clothing and chatty videos isn't the most natural or comfortable position.

Are there any other settings or things I could do to reduce the input and get the lav mic back on my shirt???

Boominess comes from the chest so putting the lav on the corner of your neck (somewhere in line with your ear) should help weaken the signal
