Operating The Redmike - Lightspeed Redcat media User Manual

5. OPERATING THE REDMIKE

Once the REDMIKE is charged, follow these steps to set it up for use.
1. Turn the REDCAT Media power
switch to the ON position.
2. Remove the REDMIKE from the
charging cradle and turn it on.
The red IR LED (CH. A or CH. B)
on the REDCAT Media will light to
indicate a signal is being received.
3. Slip the REDMIKE with lanyard
around the neck and position the
top of the microphone just below
the collarbone.
4. Slowly increase the CH. A/B volume
up to the "green" section of
the dial. This designates normal
volume range in the classroom.
5. While speaking in a normal voice,
fine-tune the volume up or down.
Proper volume level should be as
follows:
• Your voice should be clearly
• You should barely be able to

heard by another person on the
other side of the room.
hear your own voice.
• There should not be any audio
"feedback" or squealing
outside of 2-3 feet (if there is,
turn the volume down slightly).
REMEMBER: This equipment
supplements the user's voice so they
are able to speak in a conversational
tone. Having the volume set too high
will result in feedback and listener
fatigue.
6. Once initial volume level is set,
walk around the room and listen
for audio dropout and overall
audio quality.
7. If further fine-tuning is required,
audio equalization may be
necessary. Please refer to the
following page.
8. If a second REDMIKE was
purchased, repeat steps 2-4.
