Xvive U6 - Compact Wireless Mic System Manual

FEATURES

U6 is an ultra-compact wireless mic system designed primarily for video production. The transmitter can be worn discreetly in two different modes: Clip and Hook+Loop. The Clip holds the transmitter in position on the underside of your shirt for a very understated look. Alternately, the Hook+Loop method completely conceals the transmitter underneath your clothing. Both installation modes are versatile and provide a solution for any application. The transmitter features a built-in omnidirectional condenser microphone, and wirelessly transmits crystal-clear, broadcast-grade digital audio on the 2.4 GHz band to the camera-mounted receiver. The system's four-channel design allows you to use four U6 sets in one area; or, with one set, having four frequencies to choose from ensures connection if there are competing wireless devices nearby. U6 is perfect for video content creation, filmmaking, vlogging, YouTube, live streaming, and more.

QUICK START

1. POWER AND CHANNEL
   Turn the units on by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds, until the display screen lights up. Short presses on the power button will change to the next channel (check the 1-4 channel display). Make sure you are set to the same channel on both the transmitter and the receiver. When the units are successfully paired, the green LED on the receiver will illuminate.
   
2. SET UP TRANSMITTER
   Please keep the transmitter at least 10 inches away from your mouth or audio source.
   
3. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO A DSLR CAMERA
   Slide the receiver's foot into the camera's shoe mount. Connect the receiver output to the camera input using the supplied 3.5 mm TRS cable.
   
   1. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO A SMARTPHONE
      To connect to a smartphone with a TRRS 3.5 mm / 1/8" jack, plug one end of the included stereo cable into the receiver, and the other end into the TRS to TRRS adapter. Plug the adapter into the smartphone's headphone jack. If your smartphone has a USB-C or lightning connector, you will need to purchase an additional adapter (TRRS to USB-C or TRRS to lightning). You can use the hook+loop fastener adhesives to attach the receiver to your smartphone or tripod/mount.

5. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
   The U6 system comes with a dual USB charging cable, which charges the transmitter and the receiver at the same time. Plug it into any 5V USB charger adapter or USB power source.
   Note: Turn off the power while charging. Please do not use U6 while charging, as this may reduce your battery life.

   LED off = 100% ~ 30%
   Solid red = 29% ~ 11%
   Flickering red = less than 10%
   * Always store at room temperature
   * When storing the unit, please check the battery charge level regularly and charge if necessary.

TRANSMITTER APPLICATION METHOD

CLIP
Fasten the clip to the transmitter by pressing the round nubs on the clip into the round sockets on the transmitter.
When the transmitter is clipped underneath your shirt or other clothing, it may create a slight protrusion, but will be generally unnoticeable.

HOOK+LOOP
Stick the Hook pieces on the transmitter


Hook fastener material can catch onto knit or loosely woven fabrics (e.g. wool sweaters) and cause damage, so avoid making contact between the hook fastener on the back of the transmitter and your clothing. The adhesive on the back of the loop fastener piece can leave a residue on some fabrics. Avoid leaving the loop fastener stuck on clothing for a long time. Please use with caution.

There are two small hook fastener adhesive strips on the transmitter. Stick a loop sticker on the inside surface of your clothing, or anywhere else within range of the transmitter (about 10 inches from your mouth). Then simply press the transmitter against the loop piece.

2.4 GHZ WIRELESS OVERVIEW AND INTERFERENCE

U6 operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band, which is also used by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. 2.4 GHz is an open band and, as such, does not require a license to be used worldwide.

Tips and Methods to Improve Wireless System Performance

1. Keep more than 3 metres of distance between the U6 receiver unit and Wi-Fi transmitters, such as routers.
2. If you experience interference from Wi-Fi devices in the vicinity, try changing to a different channel on the U6 transmitter and receiver.
3. If necessary, shorten the distance between the transmitter and receiver units.
