Operating the Handheld Microphone
You must configure the stereo before you can operate the handheld microphone (
for the Handheld Microphone, page 7
).
You can use the handheld microphone from any source on the stereo. If the source is set to anything other than
AUX1 when you hold the microphone button, the source switches to AUX1 automatically, and switches back to
the original source after you release the button.
NOTE: You should stand behind the speakers that will be broadcasting from the microphone. If you are standing
in front of the speakers, the microphone will pick up the broadcast and cause feedback.
1 Select any source on the stereo.
NOTE: If you set the stereo to the AUX1 source, there is no sound until you hold the microphone button and
speak.
2 Hold the button on the side of the microphone and speak into it.
NOTE: If the stereo is playing music from a source, you should wait about 2 seconds before speaking to
avoid cutting off the beginning of your announcement.
3 After you have finished speaking, release the button.
If the stereo was playing music from a source before you held the button, the stereo switches back to that
source automatically.
Configuring the Fusion Stereo for the Handheld Microphone
1 On the stereo, select
> SETTINGS > TELEMUTE.
2 Select AUX1 to fill the check box.
The stereo will now change to the AUX1 source when you hold the button on the side of the handheld
microphone.
3 Select
> SETTINGS > SOURCE > AUX1.
4 Select PARTYBUS ENABLED to clear the checkbox.
When you clear the checkbox, the AUX1 source is no longer available for streaming over the Fusion
PartyBus
™
network. It is recommended to disable network streaming for the microphone source to avoid
feedback caused by the slight delay present when streaming.
Adjusting the Gain of the Handheld Microphone
If the volume of the microphone broadcast is too loud or too quiet in relation to the other sources on the stereo,
you can adjust the gain level for the AUX1 source.
1 On the stereo, change the source to AUX1.
2 Adjust the gain to raise or lower the microphone volume in 1 db steps.
A positive (+) gain setting increases the microphone volume, and a negative (-) gain setting decreases the
microphone volume.
