Quick Use Guide

Thank you for choosing an Anchor Audio portable sound system. Our products

incorporate state-of-the-art design and the finest quality of materials and

workmanship. We’re proud of our products and appreciate the confidence which

you have shown by selecting an Anchor system.

I hope you’ll take a few of minutes to review this manual. We’ve incorporated

several unique features into our products, and your knowledge of how to use

David Jacobs, President on behalf of all Anchor employees

MiniVox is a battery-operated handheld P.A. system that’s

easy to set-up and operate. Before using the MiniVox, you’ll

need to install the batteries as described on page 4.

If your unit is equipped with an RC-25 rechargeable battery kit,

you must charge the batteries completely before use (see page 6).

Here’s how easy it is to use:

1. Set the MiniVox in front of your audience.

2. Plug a microphone into the INPUT jack.

3. Turn the MiniVox power/volume control ON (the red

LED should begin flashing). Then turn the microphone

switch ON. Adjust the volume control until desired

volume is reached.

To operate the wireless mic system on model PB-25W see

“Wireless Operation” on pages 7 and 8. For complete usage

instructions, see the “Operation” section beginning on page 5

(see page 6 for instructions on using the signal alert option.)

To avoid

feedback, do not

position the

microphone in

front of the

speaker.

Wireless Operation (model PB-25W only)

Operation

Replacing the transmitter battery

Note: The transmitter power switch must be in the OFF position!

HANDHELD: Unscrew the battery compartment cover on

the lower end of microphone. Install a fresh ‘AA’ alkaline

battery and replace the cover.

BODY-PACK: Open battery cover

on the side of the transmitter box

and insert a fresh 9 Volt alkaline

battery. Close the cover.

Operating the wireless microphone system

1. Set the MiniVox down and direct toward audience.

(Position the MiniVox in front of you while using the

wireless microphone to avoid feedback.)

2. Turn the MiniVox power/volume control ON about

halfway (red LED should begin flashing).

3. Turn the wireless microphone ON as follows:

Handheld: Set the switch to the top ON position and

begin speaking. The middle STANDBY position

functions as a mute switch.

CollarMic, Headband or Lapel Mic: Plug mic cable

into transmitter. Set power/frequency switch to the

frequency of the receiver (either F1 or F2) and begin

speaking.

NOTE: When the mic/transmitter is turned ON and

the transmitter frequency matches the receiver, the RF

Signal Indicator on the MiniVox should light steadily

(indicating signal is being received). If it does not light

steadily, review the instructions above and the

troubleshooting section on the back page.

4. Adjust volume control on MiniVox.

Caution: Harmful feedback may occur when walking in

front of a sound system or speaker with a wireless

microphone. Always point mic away from speakers.

Observe proper

polarity when

installing the

battery!

Wireless Operation (model PB-25W only)

Operation

Using the RC-25 rechargeable battery kit

For applications where the MiniVox is used frequently, the

RC-25 rechargeable battery kit is available. The kit includes

rechargeable batteries and an AC charging adapter. About

8-15 hours of operation can be expected per charge.

Using the RC-25 Recharge Kit

1. Install batteries as described on page 4.

2. Insert small plug on charger into CHARGER input on

the MiniVox and plug AC adapter into an outlet.

3. Note! Charge batteries for 24 hours before using

MiniVox for the first time. Typical charging time for

full recovery is 12-18 hours.

CAUTION: NEVER recharge other types of batteries.

Doing so can result in battery explosion. Use only

rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries.

4. Cycling the batteries: To extend battery life, we

recommend you fully charge the batteries once each

month during periods of infrequent use. Always

recharge batteries before storing.

Optional Signal Alert: Model PB-25SA

The Signal Alert button enables the MiniVox to produce a

siren-like tone. The momentary pushbutton switch on the

handle actuates the alert (the volume of the alert tone is not

affected by the MiniVox volume control).

Phantom Powered

Microphone Input

Use the phantom powered mic input (3.5mm jack) with electret

condenser microphones that require phantom power; such as

Anchor’s CM-1000 and HBM-35.

MICROPHONE

(PHANTOM POWER)

Recharge

batteries before

storing.

Do not charge

batteries for

more than 24

hours!

Setting up the wireless system

Set the frequency of the receiver.

The wireless receiver is mounted inside the MiniVox. and is

available with two different frequency pairs (this allows for

operation of up to 4 units simultaneously). A label on top of

the MiniVox indicates which 2 frequencies your system is

equipped with, and the desired frequency is selected via the

frequency switch.

1. Set the frequency of the receiver to either of the two

channels, F1 or F2.

If you experience ongoing interference problems with your

wireless system, the selected frequency may be incompatible

with other RF systems in your area. Try the other channel.

Set the frequency of the transmitter.

During use, make sure the transmitter you are using is set to

the same frequency as the receiver as set above.

HANDHELD: Set the frequency switch inside the

battery compartment to match the channel of the

receiver. Replace the cover—but don’t overtighten!

BODY-PACK: The power/frequency switch on the

transmitter determines the frequency. During use, set

the switch to match the frequency of the receiver.
