PV 1 LAVALIER/LAPEL OR HEADSET MICROPHONE BODYPACK TRANSMITTER
®
1. Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT and insert two new AA BATTERIES,
observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment.
2. The PV1 is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK for connecting the microphone.
Plug in either the LAVALIER/LAPEL or the HEADSET MICROPHONE as supplied. To
secure the connection, insert locking mini-XLR into the jack. To unplug, reverse the
process.
Slip the transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your clothes. To use the lavalier
mic, attach it at chest level or higher. Do not place lavalier mic too close to the
mouth – a distance of about six inches is recommended. To use the headset mic,
place it on your head and adjust the mic boom so that the mic is about one inch to
the side of the front of the mouth. (Note: The lavalier or headset mic wire is also
the transmitter antenna, and rolling up or shortening the wire may reduce the
effective operating range. Extend the wire fully during use, and keep it as straight
as possible.)
3. Turn on the PV1 by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH to the STANDBY
position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio
both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (25) will give a single quick flash, indicting
usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not
illuminate at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be
replaced.
4. The microphone is now ready to use. The A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS
and most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs on the PV1 receiver should now be
illuminated, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. When ready to
speak, slide the transmitter switch to the ON position and adjust the volume of the
receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone Connection section of the above PV1
receiver instructions. The AF LEVEL LED DISPLAY on the PV1 receiver will light up to
four LEDs (three green and one red) for all input signals. Occasional flickering on
and off during use of the top red LED indicator in this display is normal; however,
if the red LED stays on continuously, it means the signal is too loud and there is
the possibility of overload distortion. Re-position the microphone farther from the
source until the red LED indicator flickers only on the loudest inputs.
[Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker
placement so that acoustic feedback will be avoided. Please also observe the
pickup patterns 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 lavaliers, require more acoustic gain and thus are also more prone
to feedback than close-source mics such as handheld or headset mics that are used
close to the mouth.]
[Note: Microphone elements can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts and
mineral from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on the
mic element at all times to protect it.]
