Setting Up
Insert the supplied AA batteries into each of the transmitters by carefully unscrewing the base of the
handheld microphone or opening the flap of the bodypack to reveal the battery compartment. Insert
the batteries (ensuring that + and - are the correct way round for each cell) and carefully replace
each cover.
For neckband or lavalier microphones, connect the 3.5mm jack into each of the bodypacks, screwing
the threaded jack securely into the socket.
The receiver antennas may be connected directly to the BNC connectors on the rear panel or
alternatively front-mounted on rack ears.
If the receiver is to be rack-mounted, place the supplied rack ears against each side of the receiver
and fix securely with 2 screws in each. These rack ears have holes for front-mounting the antennas
and BNC extension leads for fixing into the holes. These should be connected to the BNCs on the
rear panel, creating front sockets for the antennas to connect onto.
A choice of mixed output of both microphones on 6.3mm jack or individual balanced XLR outputs is
available on the rear panel of the receiver. Connect the jack or XLR (optional) leads to the relative
output connector(s), turn down the volume of any equipment (mixer, amplifier etc.) that the signal
will be fed into and then connect the jack or XLRs to the equipment.
Position the receiver within the best available line of sight to the transmitters and connect the DC
jack of the supplied power adaptor to the receiver and the plug-top to the mains outlet.
Operation
Turn microphone levels down on the receiver and switch on power on the front panel of the receiver.
Warning! - take care not to point microphones towards speakers – this can cause damaging feedback
(loud whistle or howling noise) – try to point microphones away from the speaker cabinets.
For the handheld version, move the switch on each handheld transmitter upward to switch it on and
the LCD display should light for a few seconds, showing the carrier frequency and battery status.
For bodypack transmitters, press and hold the front on/off button until the display lights up briefly,
ensuring that the Mute switch is off. Displays will show the current carrier frequency and battery
status. Transmitter frequencies should match those on the receiver. If not, see “Tuning” below.
Gradually increase the microphone level on the receiver, then increase the volume on the mixer or
amplifier until the sound from each microphone can be heard through the equipment.
