ote that, following this setup procedure, you can always lower the
Volume knob of the VR2 or VR22/22X below the 3 o'clock position in
order to attenuate the output signal if necessary.
away. If this does not solve the problem, use the supplied plastic
screwdriver to turn the Level control (trimpot) on the VT2L slowly
counterclockwise until the distortion disappears.
11. Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume
level, again make sure that the gain structure of your audio system is
correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier
for details). If it is and the signal coming from the receiver is still weak
and/or noisy, do the following:
10. If you hear distortion at the desired volume level, first check to see
whether the " Peak " LED on the receiver is lit. If it is not, make sure that
the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set (consult the own ­
ers manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If the " Peak " LED
s lit, do the following:
microphone, note that correct lavalier placement is critical to sound
quality. We recommend that you place it as shown in the illustration
below — as close to your mouth as possible but off to one side (to
minimize nasality) and unobstructed by clothing. Bear in mind also that
omn microphones (mics which pick up signal from all directions) are
more prone to feedback problems than un d rect onal (card o d or
supercard o d) ones; in general, you can avoid feedback by taking care
not to use any microphone directly in front of a PA speaker (if this is
unavoidable, try using an equalizer to attenuate those high- or mid ­
range frequencies which are causing the feedback " squealing " ).
• If you are using a VT2L transmitter with connected lavalier
microphone or headset, its Level control has been factory preset to
provide optimum level for the particular lavalier or headset model
being used and so no adjustment should be necessary.
Any distortion present should therefore simply be a matter of the
microphone being too close to the mouth; try moving it further
• If you are using a VH2 transmitter, use the supplied plastic
screwdriver to turn its Level control (trimpot) slowly counterclock
wise (towards the " Min " position) until the distortion disappears.
• If you are using a VT2L transmitter with connected lavalier micro ­
phone or headset, its Level control has been factory preset to
provide optimum level for the particular lavalier or headset model
being used and so no adjustment should be necessary. Any
weakness of signal should therefore simply be a matter of the
microphone being too far from the mouth; try moving it closer. If
this does not solve the problem, use the supplied plastic screwdriv ­
er to turn the Level control (trimpot) on the VT2L slowly clockwise
until the signal reaches an acceptable level.
• If you are using a VH2 transmitter, use the supplied plastic screw
driver to turn the Level control (trimpot) on the transmitter slowly
clockwise (towards the " Max " position) until the signal reaches an
acceptable level.
• If you are using a VT2G transmitter with an instrument such as
electric guitar or bass, lower the output level of the instrument until
the distortion disappears. Alternatively, you can use the supplied
plastic screwdriver to turn the Level control (trimpot) on the VT2G
slowly counterclockwise until the distortion disappears.
• If you are using a VT2G transmitter with an instrument such as
electric guitar or bass, raise the output level of the instrument until
a good signal is achieved. Alternatively, you can use the supplied
plastic screwdriver to turn the Level control (trimpot) on the VT2G
slowly clockwise until the signal reaches an acceptable level.
