BEST PRACTICE
REFEREE MICROPHONE SYSTEM SETUP
For best wireless reception:
- Do not obstruct the transmitter bodypack antenna.
- Keep the transmitter bodypack antenna within a clear line of sight of the receiver at the control location.
- Never place the transmitter bodypack on the backside as your body will block reception.
- Check that battery levels are adequate for the whole event (3 bars). Check again at half-time. Keep spare batteries on hand for every event.
- Perform a frequency scan prior to the event to obtain the best possible frequency. Frequency coordination is extremely important when other wireless devices exist in venues that use the same frequency range.
For best audio quality:
-
Tuck microphone cable undershirt and route to mute switch. Route mute switch cable along belt on the backside and plug into bodypack.
-
The referee bodypack kit includes both head-worn and lapel microphones. In general, it is recommended to use the headset mic for the best results.
o Head-worn: Best choice for feedback rejection; capable of more gain before feedback since a microphone can be positioned close to the mouth. Placement on the head should be taken into consideration; the mic boom should be on the same side of the point source sound system for proper cancellation. More susceptible to wind noise than omnidirectional microphones.
o Omnidirectional Lapel: Susceptible to feedback from the sound system; least affected by wind noise
o Cardioid Lapel (WL185) : Better feedback rejection versus omnidirectional lapel, but more wind noise. For maximum wind noise reduction, use both the snap-on windscreen AND the furry wind jammer on the lapel mic as shown at right. -
For Omnidirectional and Cardioid mics, clip onto a lapel as close to the center of the chest as possible, pointing toward the throat/neck.
