How to use

Install the receiver near the mixing console or amplifier and connect it using the appropriate audio output cable. Power on the receiver and the handheld transmitter, verify that both units are tuned to the same UHF frequency and check the receiver display for signal strength and battery status. Hold the microphone 5–15 cm from the mouth for consistent level and reduce handling noise by gripping the microphone body rather than the grille. Adjust gain on the mixing console or amplifier to avoid clipping while maintaining clear vocal presence.

Recommendations

For best performance, position the receiver with unobstructed line of sight to the performer and avoid placing it directly behind large metal structures or near strong RF sources. Use the cardioid pattern to reduce stage noise by orienting the null toward monitors or loudspeakers. Keep spare transmitter batteries and verify wireless frequency availability in the venue before use to prevent interference.
