Tips to Improve Wireless System Performance
If you encounter interference or dropouts, try the following suggestions:
• Choose a different receiver channel
• Reposition the receiver so there is nothing obstructing a line of sight to the transmitter (including the audience)
• Avoid placing transmitter and receiver where metal or other dense materials may be present
• Move the receiver to the top of the equipment rack
• Remove nearby sources of wireless
interference,
such as cell phones, two-way radios, computers, media players, Wi-Fi devices, and digital signal
processors
• Charge or replace the transmitter battery
• Keep transmitters more than two meters (6 feet) apart
• Keep the transmitter and receiver more than
5
meters (16 feet) apart
• During sound check, mark trouble spots and ask presenters or performers to avoid those areas
Getting Good Sound
Correct Microphone Placement
• Hold the microphone within 12 inches from the sound source. For a
warmer sound with increased bass presence, move the microphone
closer.
• Do not cover grille with hand.
Wearing the Headworn Microphone
• Position the headworn microphone 13 mm (1
/2
in.) from the corner of
your mouth.
• Position lavalier and headworn microphones so that clothing, jewelry, or
other items do not bump or rub against the microphone.

loudly or play your instrument loudly.

settings:

display.
