Are you setting up more than one microphone?

No

I'm only using one microphone

Yes

I am setting up multiple microphones

⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️

When using more than one microphone

Any additional receivers must use:

  • The same GROUP (letter) as the first receiver
  • A different CHANNEL (number)

Example: If the first receiver is A1, the next ones must be A2, A3, and so on.

Two receivers cannot share the same group and channel.

Example: You must not have two receivers set to A1.

STEP 3

Setting up additional receivers

  • Note the GROUP (letter of the first receiver)

  • Repeat Step 1 (above) for any additional receivers

  • Press & hold the GROUP button until the display flashes

  • While flashing, press the GROUP button repeatedly until it matches the first receiver

Once set, the receiver will automatically find an available channel.

If the channel selected is already taken or you are experiencing interference, manually adjust it to a free channel:

  • Press & hold the CHANNEL button until the display flashes

  • While flashing, press the CHANNEL button repeatedly to select a free channel

  • Pair the additional transmitter (microphone / bodypack) by adjusting the GROUP and CHANNEL to match the new receiver

  • Note the GROUP (letter of the first receiver)

  • Repeat Step 1 (above) for any additional receivers

  • Press & hold the GROUP button until the display flashes

  • While flashing, press the GROUP button repeatedly until it matches the first receiver

Once set, the receiver will automatically find an available channel.

If the channel selected is already taken or you are experiencing interference, manually adjust it to a free channel:

  • Press & hold the CHANNEL button until the display flashes

  • Pair the additional transmitter (microphone / bodypack) by adjusting the GROUP and CHANNEL to match the new receiver

Troubleshooting

Experiencing issues? Check the FAQ below:

The light on the Microphone is RED

If the LED on the Microphone is solid or flashing RED this indicates that the battery is low. Remove the handle cover and replace the AA batteries with the spare batteries (provided).
I'm experiencing signal feedback

Avoid positioning/using the microphone in front of sound systems to minimise the opportunity for signal feedback.

I'm experiencing signal dropouts/issues

If you're experiencing signal interference, try each of the following steps:

  • Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to find a new frequency
  • Reposition the Receiver so there is nothing obstructing a line of sight to the Microphone (including the audience)
  • Avoid placing Receiver and Microphone where metal or other dense materials may be present
  • If possible, remove nearby sources of wireless interference, such as mobile phones, computers and other Wi-Fi devices.
  • Replace the Microphone AA batteries
The Receiver will not turn on

Try the following steps (in order):

  • Ensure the Battery Pack is switched on and that all (5) green status lights are lit.
  • Ensure that the link cable is connecting the Battery Pack and the Receiver
  • If the Receiver will still not power on, disconnect the Link Cable from both the Battery and Receiver, plug the Charging Cable into a power point and connect it to the Receiver.
  • If none of these steps work contact our support team.
The Microphone will not turn on

If the Microphone is not turning on, try holding the power button longer.

If this does not work, unscrew the handle cover and replace the AA batteries using the spares (provided).

If you're still having trouble, contact our support team.
