Using the XP40iw Wireless Microphone

reduce the chance of feedback. In general, you can avoid feedback by taking care 

not to use any microphone directly in front of a PA speaker (if this is unavoidable, 

try using the equalizer to  attenuate those high- or mid-range frequencies which 

are causing the feedback “squealing”).
9.  If you hear distortion at the desired volume level, check the rear panel PEAK LED. 

If it is lit red, turn down the WIRELESS LEVEL until it lights only occasionally. If you 

still hear distortion, do the following:

•   The HT5 transmitter's Gain control has been factory preset to provide optimum 

level for the particular microphone model being used and so no adjustment 

should be necessary.  Any distortion present should therefore simply be a matter 

of the microphone being too close to the mouth; try moving it further away.  If 

this does not solve the problem, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the 

Gain control (trimpot) on the HT5 slowly counterclockwise until the distortion 

disappears.

Note that following this setup procedure, you can always lower the Volume knob of 

the XP40iw in order to further attenuate the output signal if necessary.
10.  Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level (and 

with the WIRELESS control of the XP40iw turned fully clockwise), use the supplied 

plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control (trimpot) on the HT5 slowly clockwise 

until the signal reaches an acceptable level.
