Recommendations and tips

... for the ME 2 and ME 4 clip-on microphones

y To reduce level variations to a minimum when the user turns his or her head away from the microphone, attach the microphone as centrally as possible.

y To protect the microphone against excessive sweat/ moisture, avoid direct skin contact.

yAttach the microphone carefully and conduct the cable so that noise due to friction is avoided.

yAlways use the ME 4 directional microphone with a windshield and direct the microphone towards the sound source (e.g. mouth).

... for the ME 3 headmic

yAlways use the microphone with a popshield and position the microphone at the corner of the mouth.

yYou can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/ decreasing the talking distance.

yMake sure that the sound inlet is directed towards the mouth. The sound inlet is marked with a little dot.

... for the bodypack transmitter

yMake sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do not cross.

yThe antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.

yFor best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly adjusted.

... for optimum reception

yTransmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and receiving antennas.

yTo avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas.

... for multi-channel operation

y For multi-channel operation, you can only use the channels in a channel bank. Each of the channel banks “1” to “8” accommodates up to 20 factory-preset frequencies which are intermodulation-free. For alternative frequency combinations, please refer to the enclosed frequency table. The freely selectable frequencies can be selected via the “TUNE” menu and can be stored in the channel bank “U”.

y When using several transmitters simultaneously, interference can be avoided by maintaining a minimum distance of 20 cm between two transmitters.
