If you are using an Android device and having difficulties connecting the AR1. Please check if the OTG function is activated.
As android system is an open platform, different manufacture may have different setting. Therefore, it may not be available for ALL android to activate the OTG function
From our experience, even the same brand will have different setting on different the devices. From our experience a SAMSUNG S21 can activated the OTG function while NOTE 11 doesn’t support the same function.
IOS system will detect and recognized the input sound source, therefore it can be directly use with the default camera app.
