WIRED OPERATION
The rear panel has 1x ¼” input jack for connecting a wired microphone.
Doing so will mix the wireless microphone audio and allow wired /
wireless microphone use simultaneously. A M-400 wired dynamic
microphone and a 10’ cable is supplied with the system.
• Plug wired microphone into ¼” input (MIC IN) with XLR-1/4” cable
• Make any necessary adjustments to mic level and tone
• “ MIC/WIRELESS” adjusts the input sensitivity.
NOTE: The gain knob can be used to avoid distortion and feedback. It is
best to begin with the gain lower and increase as needed.
• “ TONE” adjusts the bass and treble. Top center produces flat operation
(no EQ).
-Turning the knob to the right increases the treble and reduces the bass.
-Turning the knob to the left increases the bass level and reduces the treble.
• If feedback occurs, first try turning down the
Tone Control (4)
to MIN.
If feedback still is present, try turning down the
Wire/Wireless Mic
Volume Control (5)
or repositioning the MPA-400 with respect to the
wired or wireless mic being used.
Note: Microphone elements can easily be destroyed by the buildup of
salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to
place a windscreen on the mic at all times.
WIRELESS OPERATION

Cover End Cap (14)
and remove,
exposing the battery compartment. Insert a fresh 9V alkaline battery,
observing polarity. Replace the battery cover.

on the handle of the
microphone. The battery
Indicator LED (16)
will give a single quick
flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or
low battery, the indicator will either not go on at all or will stay on
continuously, indicating a need to replace the battery. To preserve
battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use.
• If there is no audio, check that the
Power Switch (15)
is not on
MUTE/Standby - second position.
• Adjust the volume of the MPA-400 to the desired level.
