Preparing a Backup Microphone

Prepare an alternate microphone for each channel for more reliable and flexible events. Two MXW microphone transmitters
can be linked to the same channel, providing the option of either microphone for use.
Link a mic to the secondary slot to anticipate needs that may arise during events:
Give presenters a choice between two different microphone types, such as handheld or bodypack microphones.
Use the control software or the charging station to Link the microphones to APT channels. If
desired, this feature can be disabled on the charging station so that Linking can only be per­
formed from the control software:
• Control Software: From the Configuration page, press the Link button for each charger
in the Group.
• Charging Station: Press and hold the Link button for 6 seconds. The LEDs flash during
the process and turn solid green once the Link is successful.
NOTE: Pressing the Link button on the NCS will link microphones to the Primary slot on the associated APT.
Use the control software to link microphones to secondary slots.
Test the audio for each microphone and adjust mic gain if necessary from the Monitor tab of
the control software. The gain should be set at a level where the audio is registering (green/
yellow) on the signal indicator but not clipping (red).
