1. Press MENU to enter Menu Mode. From the Main Menu, select “Set Controls,” then “Mic Gain.”
2. While at the Mic Gain screen, talk into the headset microphone at a louder than normal level and adjust the Volume control
unti l the PEAK LEDs just start to light at the loudest parts of the audio. Press ENT to accept the changes.
Mic Gain can be set in the BeltStati on without acti vati ng the Talk butt on. This allows private mic gain adjustment during
live events.
When the Mic Gain is set too high, it is possible to induce feedback or echo. When set too low, words can be clipped by
the low level noise gate or sound too quiet to other listeners. Headsets by diff erent manufacturers or diff erent models
of headsets will require widely varying Mic Gain setti ngs. When setti ng microphone gain, it is best to err toward a setti ng
that is too low, rather than too high. This will help reduce unwanted echo in the system when that microphone is enabled.

Adjust BeltStati on Slot
The MasterBelt Slot Assignment only aff ects the order that the MasterBelt Operati onal screen displays the BeltStati on
informati on when the MasterBelt is in the Stati c display mode. If the MasterBelt is routi nely used as a communicati on port
or for monitoring BeltStati ons, it may be more convenient to always have the same user appear in the same positi on on the
MasterBelt display. This is a personal preference setti ng.
In the MasterBelt “Tech Menu,” choose Stati c or Dynamic from the “Slot Assignment” screen. Dynamic , the default, will
work without any adjustment, and always displays BeltStati ons in alpha-numeric order by name.
Stati c will be the preferred choice for users who are using only one MasterBelt and want to ensure that a BeltStati on that is
logged in will always appear in the same locati on (slot) on the MasterBelt display. When selecti ng Stati c slot assignments,
you must also enter the Tech Menu for each BeltStati on and assign each BeltStati on a diff erent slot (1 – 5).
