– Position the Microphone within 4” to 6” of your mouth
– As close as is comfortable
– Jewelry, pins and other items around neck may cause noise by rubbing or bumping the microphone
Tip: Connecting the Charger to the Mics
Setting the Levels
• Rule of Thumb: If you can hear yourself back through the system, it is too loud
• Use a partner to help get the initial level set in the room– Have partner wear microphone and talk in a
normal one-on-one conversation tone– Stand across from each other in the room, and
adjust level– Switch and wear microphone while partner
listens
