• Power on the handheld transmitter and enable pairing with the receiver on the identified channel. If your model supports a sync function, use it to quickly sync the transmitter to the receiver, ensuring both ends are on the same frequency.
• Attach the handheld microphone to your performing position and perform a quick gain structure check. Set the receiver’s output level so your vocal peaks stay well within the meter’s green to amber range without distortion. Adjust the transmitter gain to minimize noise and maximize clarity.
• Test voice through the system with a few quick vocal phrases. Check for any RF interference, dropouts, or feedback. If issues arise, rescan for a clearer channel, relocate the receiver antenna(s) for optimal line-of-sight, or adjust gain and EQ to suit the room’s acoustics. Confirm the mic remains comfortable and controllable for your performance style.
