OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont’d
USING HARD-WIRED MICROPHONES
Any low inpedence, unbalanced, dynamic microphone can be plugged into the AUX MIC INPUT.
1) Make sure the volume knobs are set at "0."
2) Plug an auxiliary cord (a MM-16 or MC-16C will work) into your microphone and into the AUX MIC
INPUT.
3) Flip the switch on the microphone and bring the AUX MIC VOLUME up slowly to the desired volume.
If the speaker squeals, the microphone is too close to the speaker. A longer microphone cord will
reduce this noise.
TAPE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
1) To record, connect the HI LEVEL OUT on the unit with the AUDIO IN (line input) on the tape recorder.
2) To playback, connect the HI LEVEL IN on the unit with the AUDIO OUT (line level) on the tape
recorder. Set the AUX MIC/HI LEVEL at about "6" then adjust the volume control on your tape player
to get the desired volume.
Not all tape recorders will work with the FM-AV4. Low cost tape recorders may not have "line level"
inputs and outputs required for quality recording and playback.
CONNECTING INTO HOUSE SOUND SYSTEMS
1) Connect MIC LEVEL OUTPUT to the house sound system. This should be a balanced microphone
level input with an XLR connector.
2) The volume of the MIC LEVEL OUTPUT is controlled by the AUX MIC/HI LEVEL VOLUME. Be sure
the WIRELESS MIC VOLUME is set at "0" when using the house sound system.
