Recommendations and tips
... for the ME 2 and ME 4 clip-on microphones
y To reduce level variations to a minimum when the user
turns his or her head away from the microphone, attach
the microphone as centrally as possible.
y To protect the microphone against excessive sweat/
moisture, avoid direct skin contact.
y Attach the microphone carefully and conduct the cable so
that noise due to friction is avoided.
y Always use the ME 4 directional microphone with a
windshield and direct the microphone towards the sound
source (e.g. mouth).
... for the ME 3 headmic
y Always use the microphone with a popshield and position
the microphone at the corner of the mouth.
y You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/
decreasing the talking distance.
y Make sure that the sound inlet is directed towards the
mouth. The sound inlet is marked with a little dot.
... for the bodypack transmitter
y Make sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do
not cross.
y The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away
from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact
with the skin.
y For best results, make sure that the transmitter
sensitivity is correctly adjusted.
... for optimum reception
y Transmission range depends to a large extent on location
and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There
should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and
receiving antennas.
y To avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a
minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and
receiving antennas.
... for multi-channel operation
y For multi-channel operation, you can only use the
channels in a channel bank. Each of the channel banks “1”
to “8” accommodates up to 20 factory-preset
frequencies which are intermodulation-free. For
alternative frequency combinations, please refer to the
enclosed frequency table. The freely selectable
frequencies can be selected via the “
TUNE ” menu and can
be stored in the channel bank “U”.
y When using several transmitters simultaneously,
interference can be avoided by maintaining a minimum
distance of 20 cm between two transmitters.
