Important:

• The farther distance from mouth the higher sensitivity is required. The default gain level is 0.
• Higher sensitivity will lower the dynamic range of input signals, which may result in more feedback concern.
• Above description is for reference only. Please set the sensitivity at a proper level when operating the microphone system.

Equalizer setting

Equalizer adjustment is actually used to increase or reduce the high/mid/low frequency component of the speaker’s restored sound. It is so-called raising or attenuating treble/bass via frequency-specific volume controls to improve human voices or make musical sound more prominent. According to the scale values on the screen, UP button is to increase and boost and DOWN button to decrease and attenuate.
Adjust the level of high frequency (Treble), mid frequency (Mid), and low frequency (Bass) respectively. All signals have been balanced by the high and low sounds after entering the receiver so it is not necessary to adjust the equalizer during the output to the speaker. It is recommended to maintain the value of BASS, MID and TREBLE at 0 dB.

Important usage instructions

• To cope with the complicated 2.4GHz wireless environment, the line-of-sight distance between the microphone and the receiver should be shortened to ensure that the signal is not blocked.
• When one receiver is used with two microphones, it is recommended that the microphones be set to A-SCAN mode.
• When two receivers are used with four microphones, the microphones should be set in FCH01~F-CH04 modes respectively and the modes cannot be repeated.
• The A-SCAN mode and F-CH01~F-CH04 mode cannot be mixed in the same system.
• When the system encounters interference or signal interruption, try the following:
  • The microphone enters the A-SCAN function page and scans to search for the best available channel.
  • The receiver should be kept at least 5 meters away from other WiFi, Bluetooth or 2.4GHz devices in use.
  • Keep the distance between the microphone and the receiver at least 2 meters.
