ANTLION AUDIO GDL-0700 ModMic Wireless Microphone System Instruction Manual
Pro tips
Surface Choice
Find a flat spot on the headphones for the 0.5” circle of adhesive. The adhesive will stick to smooth and mesh surfaces but does not stick well to rubberized surfaces.
- Put the headphones on to ensure the ModMic will reach the corner of your mouth from the desired mounting point.
- Thoroughly clean and dry the surface with the included alcohol pad.
Attaching & Orientation
- Connect a to the ModMic base via the magnet.
- Remove the protective backing from the adhesive.
- While holding the ModMic, orient the mic boom angle down so it points towards where your mouth will be when using your headphones. This will reduce the need for additional bends in the boom after installation (see figure A).
- Press the whole mic/clasp down onto the cleaned spot and hold firmly for 60 seconds. On mesh or curved surfaces, allow the adhesive to cure for 1 hour.
- For best results the ModMic Wireless is designed to be attached to the right side of your headphones so the charging port is facing down (see figure B).

The ModMic Wireless can attach to either side of the headphones, however, we recommend attaching the ModMic to the right side of the headphones with the micro-USB port facing down to make it easier to charge while in use.
Troubleshooting
