Microphone care
The microphone is the most delicate component of your soundfield system.
Protect the microphone from strain and excessive force. Clean the pin of the
microphone plug regularly and replace damaged or missing windscreens and
protect the microphone capsule from moisture.
The Simeon 623/624 boom (headset) microphone has a unidirectional pick-up
pattern. The tip of the mic capsule must be pointed towards the corner of the
mouth for proper performance.
Five Year Limited Warranty
The Audita soundfield main system components (transmitters, receivers and
speaker) are covered by a
FIVE YEAR
parts and labour warranty, effective from
the date of purchase. Simeon microphones, chargers, adapters and batteries are
warranted for ONE year.
The manufacturer’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of defective
components or workmanship. Expressly not covered are damages resulting
from abuse, neglect, and unapproved substitution of components, batteries or
accessories. Extended warranty coverage may be purchased under the Simeon
Service Plus extended full service program.
No Sound
Check the External Speaker switch on the side of the Audita speaker. Check that the
transmitters and receiver are both turned on, and that the transmitters are not set to
MUTE. Verify that the Audita speaker battery is charged, or else plugged into an AC supply
with the correct power adapter. Check or replace transmitter microphone. Check that
the transmitter batteries are charged. Check that the hand-held transmitter batteries
are correctly inserted, observing the correct polarity, and that the battery terminals are
making firm contact inside the battery housing.
No FM Signal
Check that the transmitters and receivers are set to matching channels and are within
transmission range. Check or replace batteries. Check transmitter is ON position. Make
sure the volume controls on the FM Dual-Receiver Module are not locked in the OFF
position.
No Digital Signal
Check that the Audita speaker and transmitters are within pairing range on power-up. If
using wireless microphone transmitter 6M on its own, make sure the mode switch is set
to the M position.
Dead Batteries
Check that the transmitter batteries are correctly inserted, observing the correct polarity,
and that the battery terminals are making firm contact inside the battery housing. Ensure
that the transmitter has been turned off before charging.
Batteries not Charging
Check that the transmitter is making contact in the pocket of the charging cradle and that
the charger is connected to the correct power supply. Remove any tape or stickers from
the transmitter that may impede contact with the charger.
Charger 602 Flashing Light
The charger is refusing to charge the transmitter - the batteries may already be fully
charged or the wrong batteries have been installed. Check and replace transmitter
batteries as necessary.
Weak Sound
Check and adjust volume setting. Adjust microphone position. Check or replace
microphone. Check that the correct power adapter is connected to the Audita speaker.
Noise or Distortion
Check for possible sources of radio interference (e.g. nearby computers, other FM or
Digital systems) and try different FM or Digital channels. If using the boom (headset)
microphone, check the integrity of microphone cord and plug.
Acoustic Feedback (Squealing sound from speaker)
Check and adjust volume settings. Ensure that the microphone is positioned correctly.
Avoid approaching too close to the speaker with the microphone turned on. To guard
against feedback, avoid pointing the microphone directly towards the portable receiver.
The boom microphone accessory, when correctly worn, will minimize the likelihood of
acoustic feedback.
Intermittency
Make sure transmitters and receiver are within normal operating range. Check for any
nearby interfering radio signals. If using the boom microphone, check the mic cable and
the plug connection with the transmitter.
