Connecting to external equipment
It can be very useful to record the sound from an
fmGenie – perhaps to record a lecture, or to clarify
notes taken during a meeting.
You can use a voice recorder to record what you
are listening to with your fmGenie, so you can
review it later and make sure you haven't missed
anything important. This leaves you free to
concentrate on the speaker rather than worrying
about taking notes. Once recorded, you can either
listen directly to the files on the voice
recorder via a direct input leads or a
neckloop, alternatively you can
download the files onto your computer
and play back from there.
A Digital Voice Recorder, FMG920, gives many hours of
continuous recording as well as excellent sound quality. A USB
connection can be used for easy downloading, playing or
storing the sound files on your laptop or PC.
You can use either a 91CNL
neckloop or DPV1M direct audio
input lead to listen back to
recordings.
Detailed instructions are included with the packs
a) For use with Direct Input –
FMG920PKSD
b) For use with
Neckloop –
FMG920PKSN
Both packs work the same way with a splitter cable to allow you to connect into
the voice recorder at the same time as listening.
Two different packs
of connection leads
are available to
connect with an
fmGenie receiver.

fmGenie Conference Microphone
Part no.
FMG22PK1 includes an fmGenie conference microphone,
pouch and 2m extension lead.
Many users of fmGenie radio aids use their system
in group or seminar situations. The Connevans
fmGenie conference microphone increases the
distance of useful sound pick-up for group use
around a table.
The fmGenie conference microphone is a flat metal
disc 88mm in diameter. It works on the boundary
layer principle and is intended to be placed in the
centre of the ‘conference‘ table.
Using with a transmitter:
The conference microphone is
connected to the transmitter
‘Ext mic’
socket and placed in the centre of the
table.
Using with a receiver:
Alternatively using the fmGenie
conference microphone with the
receiver
leaves the transmitter
free for use by a presenter – who may
well stand up from time to time to
use display material. The conference
microphone is connected to the
‘Env mic’ socket and the ‘Env mic’
volume control used as required.
You can also use two conference microphones – one on the
and one on
the
, perhaps to cover discussion around a long table.
Getting the best out of a conference microphone
The microphone uses the flat surface of the table to help ‘collect’ sound.
Because the sound travels along the table surface you will find that table
cloths, flowers or piles of books will reduce the effectiveness of operation
and should be avoided.
