How to operate the wireless handheld microphone

1. Hold the middle part of the microphone. If it is too close to the wire mesh, the sound will be influenced. If the hand is too close to the antenna at bottom, the operating distance will be shortened
2. By changing the distance between the microphone head-case and mouth to increase/decrease the treble/ bass

How to use receiver

1. Receiver can be divided into two types, diversity and non-diversity receiver. Non-diversity receivers are usually the more budget friendly solution while diversity receivers provide a better RF transmission. Please choose it according your actual application
2. If omni-directional antenna is used, the antenna should be at least O.Sm away from walls or metal pieces
3. Receiving range is varied for many factors. It will get a better transmission effect if there is no large metal pieces blocking in the transmitting direction
4. If the receiving performance is not good enough, please use extension cable to connect with the external high gain antenna or antenna amplifier to achieve excellent receiving range
5. When the receiver panel is pointed to using direction or the receiver is put inside the metal box, please locate the antenna on the front panel for better performance

How to use multiple systems at one venue

1. First, choose an interference free RF frequency, usually 12 transmitters can be used simultaneously within 40MHz bandwith. If more transmitters is needed, please add frequency band
2. When multiple transmitters using together, keep at least 50cm separation between each transmitter to avoid mutual interference
3. When using several receivers together, please install high gain antenna, antenna amplifier and receiver muti-coupler
