Anchor Audio XTR-6000CU2 - Manual (Page 3)

FEEDBACK
Feedback, a howling noise or shrill sound, is self-generated by the sound system. It’s caused by a microphone picking up the sound
coming from the speaker and then re-amplifying it. Once a feedback loop starts it continues until the system is adjusted.
FEEDBACK CAUSES
• Microphone too close, pointing towards
or in front of speaker
• Volume setting is too loud for room
• Sound reflecting off hard surfaces
AVOIDING & ELIMINATING FEEDBACK
• Point microphone in a different direction
• Keep microphone away from the speaker
• Place speaker in FRONT of the microphone
• Reduce the sound system volume levels

DIVERSITY WIRELESS BY ANCHOR AUDIO
Anchor Audio UHF wireless is a 16 channel, diversity wireless system that receives signals with two independent antennae.
With diversity wireless the receiver processes the stronger signal, effectively minimizing dropouts and interference from other
transmitting sources. The antennae are mounted internally so there are no obstructions or risk of damage.
CHANNEL SELECTION - BUILT-IN RECEIVER
Select a channel, set the built-in receiver & microphone transmitter to that channel before useing your wireless system.
1. Choose any available wireless channel/frequency from 1 thru 16 (see page 7 for transmitter setup instructions)
2. Turn the Wireless Channel Selector Knob to the channel/frequency you choose in step 1
If you have two wireless receivers repeat above for the second receiver. Remember each receiver/transmitter pair must be set
to different channels for proper operation.
NOTE: Ongoing wireless interference? The frequency you selected may be in use by
other systems in the area! Change channels until you find a clear frequency!
