3. Setup

Follow these steps for the initial setup of your wireless microphone system:

  1. Connect Antennas: Screw the four included antennas into the corresponding antenna ports on the rear panel of the receiver. Ensure they are securely tightened for optimal signal reception.
  2. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the DC 12-18V input on the receiver's rear panel, then connect the adapter to a power outlet.
  3. Connect to Audio System: Use the 1/4'' audio cable to connect the MIX OUT jack on the receiver to your amplifier, mixer, or karaoke machine's audio input. For individual channel control, use XLR cables (not included) to connect the balanced XLR outputs (BAL.A, BAL.B, BAL.C, BAL.D) to your audio system.
  4. Install Microphone Batteries: Unscrew the bottom part of each handheld microphone. Insert two AA batteries into each microphone, ensuring correct polarity. Screw the bottom part back on securely. (Note: AA batteries are not included and must be purchased separately).
  5. Attach Anti-rolling Rings and Foam Covers: Slide the anti-rolling rings onto the microphones to prevent them from rolling when placed on flat surfaces. Place the foam covers over the microphone heads to reduce plosives and protect the capsule.
  6. Power On: Press the power button on the front panel of the receiver. The LCD displays on both the receiver and microphones will illuminate, indicating they are powered on and ready for use. The system automatically pairs the microphones with the receiver for plug-and-play operation.
