Setup

Receiver Setup

  1. Placement: Position the receiver on a stable, flat surface, away from sources of interference (e.g., computers, Wi-Fi routers). Ensure adequate ventilation.
  2. Antenna: Extend the receiver's antenna fully for optimal signal reception.
  3. Power Connection: Connect the provided 12V DC power adapter to the receiver's power input and then plug it into a 230V AC wall outlet. The "POWER" indicator light on the receiver should illuminate.
  4. Audio Output:
    • Balanced Output (XLR/Cannon): Connect an XLR cable from the receiver's balanced output to a balanced input on your mixer or amplifier. This provides a low-impedance, interference-resistant signal.
    • Unbalanced Output (6.3mm Jack): Connect a 6.3mm jack cable from the receiver's unbalanced output to an unbalanced input on your mixer or amplifier.

Microphone Setup

  1. Battery Installation: Unscrew the lower part of the handheld microphone to access the battery compartment. Insert the required AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
  2. Power On: Slide the power switch on the microphone to the "ON" position. The microphone's indicator light should illuminate.

Operating Instructions

Powering On the System

  1. Ensure the receiver is connected to power and an audio system.
  2. Turn on the receiver. The "POWER" indicator will light up.
  3. Turn on the handheld microphone. The microphone's indicator will light up.
  4. When the microphone is active and transmitting, the "MIC ON" indicator on the receiver should illuminate, and the "AF" (Audio Frequency) indicator will light up when audio is detected.

Adjusting Volume

  • Use the volume control knob on the receiver to adjust the output level of the microphone.
  • Further volume adjustments can be made on your connected mixer or amplifier.

Squelch Control

The receiver features a squelch control to suppress unwanted background noise or static when no audio signal is being transmitted from the microphone. Adjust this control to find the optimal balance between signal reception and noise suppression.

Frequency Information

The system operates on a fixed VHF frequency within the 174-194 MHz range, controlled by a quartz crystal. No manual frequency tuning is required or possible.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the receiver and microphone. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace microphone batteries when the indicator light dims or audio quality degrades. Remove batteries if the microphone will not be used for an extended period.
