How to use

Install the compact receiver into the audio chain using a standard line-level input on your mixer or amplifier and power it according to the user guide. Insert batteries into the handheld transmitter, power on both units and allow automatic synchronization or follow the receiver pairing procedure to establish the RF connection. Position the handheld capsule 5–15 cm from the mouth for clear vocal pickup and maintain a consistent distance and angle to control proximity effects and avoid plosives. Monitor the receiver’s signal indicators and adjust mixer gain to achieve clean levels without clipping.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, select an RF environment with minimal interference, keep the receiver within recommended line-of-sight range of the transmitter, and replace batteries before extended use. Use a windscreen or pop filter when required and perform a soundcheck to set gain structure and equalization suited to the venue acoustics.
