Using the Bodypack Transmitter
You will have one of four possible options with the Bodypack Transmitter.
They are:
1. Lavaliere or Lapel microphone
2. Headset microphone
3. Horn/sax microphone
4. Guitar/Bass Cable
Audix uses a common mini 3-pin XLR(f) connector to connect the
microphone cable to the Bodypack. The following information will instruct
you on how to connect the microphone to the Bodypack and achieve the
best performance from the microphone:
1. Insert mini 3-pin XLR connector into the top of the RAD360BP. This will be the
same regardless of the type of mic option you have. You will feel the
connector connect by a soft “pop” as you push it in. Do not pull on the wires of
the microphone to change mics from the Bodypack. Make sure to depress the
small black button on the side of the connector, and only pull on the connector
itself to remove the mic from the Bodypack. Pulling on the wires will damage
the connection and result in crackling and poor quality sound.
2. Install the batteries into the back of the Bodypack paying attention to the
polarity direction.
3. Turn the transmitter on and match the frequency to the receiver.
4. When using a lavaliere microphone, care and consideration must be used
regarding the positioning of the microphone. Ideally the microphone should be
placed approximately 6 inches under the chin of the user and centered
underneath the mouth. This will lessen the “race-track” effect when the
speaker turns their head from side to side. Placing the microphone 6 inches
away from the mouth will also achieve the best sound quality.
5. When using the headset microphone, consideration must be used with it’s
placement as well. The microphone should be placed off the corner of the
mouth to achieve the best signal. If the microphone is “popping” with the
pronunciation of plosive words (such as pop, please, Bob, etc.) move the
microphone away from the mouth to reduce this occurrence.
6. When connecting or disconnecting the guitar/bass cable to your instrument,
make sure that the output of the instrument is turned to zero otherwise you
will have extremely loud noises coming from your amp/speakers that could
potentially damage them.
