The receiver draws power directly from the connected Type-C device. The M/S switch allows you to select the audio output mode. In Mono mode, audio from both transmitters is mixed into a single channel. In Stereo mode, each transmitter's audio is output to a separate channel (left/right).

Setup

  1. Install Batteries in Transmitters: Open the battery compartment of each BY-WM4 PRO Transmitter and insert two AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment.
  2. Connect Lavalier Microphones: Plug the 3.5mm connector of each lavalier microphone into the microphone input jack on the top of each transmitter.
  3. Connect Receiver to Device: Plug the Type-C connector of the BY-WM4 PRO RXU Receiver directly into the Type-C port of your Android phone or other compatible recording device. Ensure it is securely seated.
  4. Power On Transmitters: Slide the power switch on each transmitter to the "ON" position. The Power LED on the transmitter will illuminate.
  5. Pairing: The transmitters and receiver should automatically pair. If not, press the "Pair" button on the receiver. The Power LED on both the transmitter and receiver will indicate a successful connection (e.g., solid blue light).
  6. Select Output Mode: Use the M/S switch on the receiver to select your desired audio output mode (Mono or Stereo).
  7. Connect Headphones (Optional): For real-time audio monitoring, plug 3.5mm headphones into the headphone jack on the receiver.
  8. Adjust Volume: Use the Volume +/- buttons on the receiver to adjust the output audio level as needed.

Operating Instructions

Once the system is set up and paired, you can begin recording audio. The BY-WM4 PRO-K6 is designed for plug-and-play operation with most compatible devices.

  • Recording: Open your preferred audio or video recording application on your Type-C device. The system should be recognized as an external microphone.
  • Monitoring: Use headphones connected to the receiver's 3.5mm jack to monitor the audio in real-time. This helps ensure optimal sound quality and proper microphone placement.
  • Volume Control: Adjust the output volume using the +/- buttons on the receiver. This controls the level sent to your recording device.
  • Mode Selection: Switch between Mono and Stereo modes using the M/S switch on the receiver based on your recording needs. Mono is suitable for single-person interviews or when you want both microphones mixed. Stereo is useful for separating two audio sources.
  • Microphone Placement: For best audio quality, clip the lavalier microphone approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from the speaker's mouth, ideally on clothing.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the transmitters and receiver. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace AAA batteries in the transmitters when the Power LED indicates low power or when audio quality degrades. Always use fresh batteries.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries from the transmitters to prevent leakage. Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the lavalier microphone cables to prevent internal damage.
