4.4. Connect Receiver to Audio System
Choose one of the following connection methods based on your audio equipment:
- Using XLR Cables (Recommended for individual channel control): Connect XLR cables from the BAL A and BAL B outputs on the receiver to the corresponding XLR inputs on your audio mixer or PA system.
- Using 1/4" Audio Cable (Mixed Output): Connect the included 1/4" audio cable from the MIX output on the receiver to a 1/4" input on your amplifier, karaoke machine, or PA system. This will combine both microphone signals into a single output.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound from microphones | Microphones or receiver not powered on; low microphone battery; incorrect cable connection; receiver volume too low; microphone not paired. | Ensure all devices are powered on; check microphone battery level; verify audio cable connections; increase receiver volume; re-pair microphone with receiver. |
| Interference or signal dropouts | Operating distance too far; obstacles blocking line-of-sight; other wireless devices interfering; frequency conflict. | Reduce distance between microphone and receiver; ensure clear line-of-sight; change microphone frequency; turn off other interfering wireless devices. |
| Low or distorted sound | Microphone volume too low; audio system volume too low; microphone too far from mouth; damaged cable. | Increase microphone volume on receiver; adjust volume on connected audio system; hold microphone closer to mouth; replace audio cable if damaged. |
