    Sorry about single channel audio on 32bit sample (rookie mistake).
    I've been corrected in the comments about clipping 32bit Float. You can distort the recording if you exceed the maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of your microphone.
    Either way you can ruin a file.
    My explanation was kept to a very basic level. People who know audio already know how the technology works so it's best if I explain it on a basic level for us that aren't familiar.
    There's plenty of technical channels if you need a deeper understanding. Thank you.

    You can't clip 32 bit floating point audio, You can overload the mic capsule with a too high SPL causing distortion before it hits the recorder resulting in a ruined recording, The beauty of something like this will be that you don't have to position your mic too close to source and risk overloading the mic capsule and also the gain level is not so critical because it can be corrected in post whereas with 24bit audio its much more critical because you can clip the audio as well as the capsule and at 16 bit its even tighter tolerance.

    I got this mic delivered today and I got to tell you I'm a little bit disappointed. I bought the mic for a couple of reasons. I already have a wireless solution for my camera and have been very happy with it. However this device offered a built in transmitter and a onboard recording. I use a separate device for recording and thought it would be great to have a device that offered an all in one solution. However this device has a major design flaw. You cannot monitor your recordings and there is no playback option. I planned to use the mic on my boom pole to record folie at my film locations. Usually I have to use a separate device and it's mics aren't best. This device has no way of listening to what you have recorded on the fly. You have to wait until you load the audio files onto a computer. I am flabbergasted at this oversite. Such a great idea to have a phone app and a mic that has a built in transmitter and recording in 32Bit Float but all for nothing. We must be able to monitor the recordings and have the ability to playback recordings or what's the point.
