7.
Without raising your voice, speak into the microphone
– as if you were talking to
someone at about arms length from you.
You should be only just aware that there is sound coming out of the loudspeakers.*
Check that your voice does not trail away too markedly when you move your head from
side to side - away from the microphone. If you find that this happens i) move the
microphone slightly further away and ii) adjust the input control for Channel 1 up
(clockwise) slightly. If you find that you get ‘feedback’ then adjust the Mixer Output
down (anti-clockwise).
*If you can hear yourself clearly then the system is too loud
– turn the volume (on the
Amplifier) down a little. Remember this is a ‘Soundfield System’ not a Public Address
System.
Handheld microphone
8.
Switch on the handheld microphone and hold the microphone approximately
30cm to 35cm ( 12” to 14” ) from you mouth then, without raising your voice – as if
talking to someone at about arms length away, speak into the microphone.
Once again, you should only just be aware that there is sound coming out of the
loudspeakers.*
The sound from the handheld microphone should be about the same as from the collar
worn mic’. If it is markedly quieter or louder then adjust the input control for Channel 2
up or down as appropriate.
Again, if you can hear yourself clearly then the system is too loud
– turn the volume (on
the Amplifier) down a little. Remember this is a ‘Soundfield System’ not a Public
Address System.
*
The whole idea of a Soundfield System is to provide a comfortable level of sound for
everyone to hear the person speaking clearly.
When setting up the radio microphones, and generally when familiarising yourselves with this
equipment try and make sure that there is a group of you (or at least two!).
People are often surprised at how different they sound when they listen to themselves through
loudspeakers, try and share this experience with others and have fun whilst you get to know
your way around the various different controls and switches. Pass the microphones around
the group, try turning the volume up and down, play some music through the system, but
always remember when your are using this system for speech, for teaching, that if you can
clearly hear your own voice then the volume setting is a little too loud and you should turn it
down (see notes above).
DO NOT ACCEPT THESE AS ‘DEFAULT’ SETTINGS THIS IS SIMPLY A ‘STARTING-POINT’ FROM
WHICH TO ADJUST THE CONTROLS TO SUIT YOUR HALL
.
Make a note of the settings for your system on the sheet provided at the back of this guide
