System Overview

The PTV-1 is a dual wireless microphone system designed to offer great sound quality and ease of use in a compact package. It is very simple to set up and operate, and it is the perfect choice for public address, karaoke, live performances, interviews, sermons, and many more. The signal from the microphones (either handheld, lavalier, or headset, depending on the combination you purchased) is wirelessly transmitted to the receiver, which is connected to your amplifier, mixer, or powered speakers with the included ¾” cable or with a microphone cable with an XLR connector (not included).

Receiver

2. ON/MUTE/OFF switch
3. Battery compartment cover

Under normal operation, the battery power indicator (1) will briefly light up when powering on the microphone.
If the battery power indicator (1) stays continuously on after powering on the microphone, the batteries must be replaced. To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:
– Unscrew the battery compartment cover (3) and set it aside
– After removing the old batteries, insert new ones, making sure to respect proper polarity
– Screw the battery compartment cover (3) back in place

Bodypack

The Phenyx VHF bodypack is to be used with the Phenyx lavalier microphones & headsets

1. Antenna
2. Battery Power Indicator
3. ON/MUTE/OFF switch
4. Microphone input
5. Battery compartment

Set-Up:

1. Secure the bodypack to clothing, belt, or pocket.
2. (a) For a lavalier microphone, clip the microphone to clothing about 1 foot under the mouth. (b) For a headset, install headset comfortably on the head so the microphone can be placed close to the mouth.
3. Connect the microphone audio connector to the bodypack microphone input (4)
4. Turn the bodypack on by sliding the ON/MUTE/OFF switch to the “ON” position. The battery power indicator (2) will light up briefly, indicating that the batteries have sufficient power.

If the battery power indicator (3) stays continuously on after powering on the bodypack, the batteries must be replaced. To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:
– Open the battery compartment door by pushing on the door sides and pulling it open
– After removing the old batteries, insert new ones, making sure to respect proper polarity
– Close the compartment by gently pushing the compartment door until it clicks

Operating Instructions

Set-Up

1.  Install fresh batteries in the transmitters (refer to the section relative to the specific transmitter you are using).

2. Connect the AC power adapter to a wall outlet and to the back of the receiver.

3. Position the antennas 60° apart from each other as shown.
   

4. Connect one of the two outputs available at the back panel to the next stage in your system. Typically, use the 1/4″ output to connect to unbalanced equipment such as consumer-level receivers, amplifiers, and mixers. Connect to professional equipment using the XLR output (cable not included).

5. Making sure the volume of your speakers is off, turn on the receiver and the transmitters. The “RF” LED turns on, indicating that the corresponding transmitter is paired with the receiver. Note that the number displayed (the channel number) is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The “AF” LED indicates the presence of an audio signal coming from the transmitter.

6. Turn the volume of your speakers back on and start increasing the volume of the transmitters until the proper volume is achieved. The balance between the two microphones can be adjusted with the front panel volume controls.

Operation

For better results, keep the transmitters at least 2′ away from the receiver but within the transmitter’s range (150′). Keep the transmitters in a direct line of sight with the receiver whenever possible. Transmitters can be used one at a time or simultaneously. Use the MUTE position on the transmitter switch to silence the micro-phone without interrupting the pairing with the receiver, which could cause unwanted popping sounds.

Troubleshooting Tips

tance between the microphone and the speaker
Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker
No sound coming to the receiver (AF LED does not light up)| The wireless transmitter is outside of the receiver’s range| Keep wireless microphone within operating range of the receiver
The wireless transmitter is off or muted (switch set to “OFF” or “MUTE”)| Turn wireless microphone on (switch set to “ON”). Replace batteries if necessary
Sound reaches the receiver
(AF LED lights up) but no sound coming from the receiver| Volume control too low| Turn up the output volume by turning the volume control knobs on the front of the receiver clockwise
Output is not (or wrongly) connected| Verify all connections to the rest of your system. Try different connection cables if available
