(Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars with dirty pots or connections are used with any wireless system. Therefore, the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD (17) has a factory-installed capacitor inside the 1/4” plug. This capacitor provides first order filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should your equipment still give you scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them:

1)Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are solid–this is very important.

2)A 47pf capacitor soldered across the hot to ground terminals of the guitar’s volume and tone pots will provide extra filtering.)

7.Microphone use (with either a lavalier or headworn microphone): Secure the connection from the LAVALIER (18) or HEADWORN MIC CORD (19) by turning the slip ring on the plug into the transmitter clockwise to thread it on to the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. To use the lavalier mic, attach it at chest level. Do not place it too close to the mouth–a distance of about six inches usually works best.

To use the headworn mic, place it on the head and adjust the boom so that the mic is about one inch to the side of the front of the mouth. When ready to speak, slide the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (21) to the either “STANDBY or ON” position.

Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Connecting the Audio Output above DKW-8U receiver instruction.

[Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that acoustic feedback (howling and screeching) will be avoided. Please also note the pickup pattern characteristics of the microphone selected. Omnidirectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions, and are prone to feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback, but pick up sound sources best that are directly in front of the mic. Also, mics that are farther from the sound source, such as lavalieres, require more acoustic gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as handheld or headworn models that are used close to the mouth].

8.For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (23) is provided. Adjust the gain by turning the control with a small screw driver. For lavalier mic use, it is recommended that the level be set at about 1/2 maximum. For headworn mic use, it may be advisable to turn the gain down somewhat, depending on the volume levels expected. In either application, experiment and set for maximum possible gain without audible distortion on the high level peaks.

(Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise and it is not recommended.)

9.The DKW-8U receiver is equipped with an AF LED DISPLAY (8). The LED lights whenever an audio signal is being transmitted from the transmitter.

(Note: The AF LED Display is not a peak level indicator so it can light continuously during audio signal input to the transmitter.)
