POSITIONING THE MICROPHONE With the standard cardioid cartridge installed, the MX692 will pick up audio at conversational volume levels within 1.5 M (5 ft.) in a 130 degree range. As a general rule, a single microphone should be used for every two people speaking.
POSITIONING MULTIPLE MICROPHONES In any installation, good vocal pickup can be achieved by following the positioning rules on page 7. Maintain at least .3 m (1 ft.) separation between transmitters. If you experience transmitter interfer- ence, increase the distance between transmitters, or change the channel of one transmitter/receiver pair.
POSITIONING THE RECEIVER MX692 The UC4 receiver may be rack mounted. See page 14 for information on systems with multiple transmitters and receivers. ¹ Maximum distance depends on signal absorption, reflection, and interference. >2 m (5 ft.) <75 m (250 ft.) typical¹...
