PolarChoice Boundary Satellite
NOTE: The bodypack transmitter must have the “bodypack” button installed on the back of its’ housing. The bodypack does not ship with this part
attached.
1.
Insert the bodypack into the PolarChoice Boundary Satellite (see figure 2). “Bodypack” button inserts into opening on the bottom plate.
Push the bodypack into the plate and slide down as shown.
2.
Carefully insert the TA4F connector into the bodypack (see figure 3).
3.
Turn on the bodypack transmitter and check for mic level. (Make sure that the blue light on the front of the mic is on and the audio is not
muted.)
4.
Test the mic in an actual use situation, and set the audio gain on the bodypack transmitter for optimal gain through the wireless system.
NOTE: The battery door may be opened to access the gain adjustment in the bodypack without removing the bodypack from the
microphone.
Switch “A” – Hi Pass Select:
Start with this switch set to the left (flat response). If the mic is in a location where low frequency rumble or wind noise is encountered, moving
this switch to the right will help by reducing low frequency sensitivity.
Flat (
): Normal response
Hi Pass (
): Minimum 5 dB reduction in sensitivity at 100 Hz.
Switch “B” - Polar Pattern Select:
The cardioid polar pattern works well for most installations. If feedback from a sound system occurs, switching to the supercardioid pattern will
usually allow increased mic gain before feedback. The figure 8 pattern can be used to mic two people sitting on opposite sides of a table,
potentially reducing the total number of mics required. The omnidirectional pattern is best suited for situations where there is no sound
reinforcement system present, such as for recording.
Switches “C” and “D”:
Together control the actions of the push-button switch power-up state.
NOTE: The blue light on the front of the mic is lighted whenever the microphone
audio is active.
Momentary Modes – When switch “C” is set to the left, the push-
button switch action will be momentary. If switch “D” is in the left
hand position, the mic will be in push-to-mute mode. If switch “D” is in
the right hand position, the mic will be in push-to-talk mode.
Toggle Modes – When switch “C” is set to the right hand position, the
pushbutton switch will be in the toggle (push-on / push-off) mode. The
setting of switch “D” in this case will determine if the audio is muted
when the mic is initially turned on.
If switch “D” is in the left hand position, the mic audio will be muted when the mic is turned on.
If switch “D” is in the right hand position, the mic audio will be active when the mic is turned on.
