Correct Microphone Placement
• Hold the microphone within 12 inches from the sound source. For a warmer sound with increased bass presence, move the microphone closer.
• Do not cover grille with hand.
Wearing the Headworn Microphone
• Position the headworn microphone 13 mm (1/2 in.) from the corner
of your mouth.
• Position lavalier and headworn microphones so that clothing,
jewelry, or other items do not bump or rub against the microphone.
Linking a Transmitter and Receiver
Gain Adjustment
Use the receiver gain controls to increase or decrease the audio signal level:
• Momentarily press the gain button to increase or decease the gain in 1 dB
increments
• Press and hold the gain button for faster gain changes
Tip: Observe the receiver audio meter level while adjusting the gain to prevent
signal overload.
The transmitter and receiver automatically form a link the first time
they are powered on.
Optionally, use the following steps to manually link a transmitter and
receiver:
