Peavey 1 UHF Microphone User Manual

To use the lavalier mic, attach it at chest level or higher. Do not place it 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 boom so that the mic is about one inch to the side of the front of the mouth. As the
microphone cord also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully. Rolling up or shortening
the cord may reduce the effective operating range – keep it as straight as possible.
When ready to speak, slide the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (26) to the ON position. Adjust the
volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone Connection section of the above UHF
receiver instructions.
[Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that
acoustic feedback will be avoided. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback, but 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 more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as
handheld or headset models that are used close to the mouth.
The AF PEAK LED INDICTOR (3) on the UHF receiver will light for all loud input signals.
