Beyerdynamic Opus 100 Before the Soundcheck, What to do about Feedback, We recommend

Page 8

4.2Before the Soundcheck

1.Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are on the same frequency (refer to type plate).

2.Check the transmitter battery and replace or recharge it if necessary. Use fresh alkaline batteries only.

3.Check the performance area for dropouts (i.e. areas where poor reception is encountered). If you find any dropouts try to eliminate them by repositioning the antennae or the receiver.

4.Adjust the sensitivity of the receiver and beltpack transmitter correctly to avoid distortions.

5.Try and avoid feedback, especially when you use omnidirectional microphones (e.g. MCE 50).

4.3What to do about Feedback

Feedback is caused when the microphone is too close to a loudspeaker.

We recommend:

•Reduce the volume of the sound system.

•Move away from the loudspeaker.

•Turn the microphone away from the loudspeaker.

•Use a microphone with a cardioid, hypercardioid or supercardioid polar pattern.

Caution:

Feedback can also be caused if the sensitivity has been adjusted too high. In this case the transmitter is no longer working in the linear range, but in the limiter range. Therefore, if the level of the input sound drops, the gain is increased and feedback can occur. Turning down the input sensitivity of the transmitter to the correct position will prevent this from happening.
