USING ANOTHER INPUT SOURCE:
Although the internal pressure zone microphone is one of
the best ways to pick up sounds within a room when no
other microphones are available, or when a single speaker
is positioned near the transmitter, there are situations
where other solutions are possible. Following are some
examples of alternative input sources:
To use a different microphone with the transmitter
instead of the internal microphone:
1. Plug the alternate microphone into the EXTERNAL INPUT
jack. The microphone cable must have a 1/4 inch/6.5 mm
phone plug and be an unbalanced line. Most dynamic mi-
crophones and self-powered electret condenser micro-
phones will work fine. There is no phantom power for the
mic available at the jack.
2. Move the selector switch next to the EXTERNAL INPUT
jack to the "MIC" position. Leaving the switch in the wrong
position won't damage the transmitter, but the input will be
so attenuated that it will be nearly impossible to hear any-
thing.
As soon as the external microphone is plugged in, the
internal microphone is automatically disabled. The
EXTERNAL INPUT MIC-LINE switch can be left in ei-
ther position when the internal microphone is used.
The switch has no effect if there is nothing is plugged
into the EXTERNAL INPUT jack.
To transmit a line level output from a microphone
mixer, audio or video recorder output, or other
similar device:
1. Plug the direct line into the EXTERNAL INPUT jack. The
cable must have a 1/4 inch/6.5 mm phone plug and be an
unbalanced line. Levels ranging from -10 dB through +4 dB
can be accepted. This covers most commonly encountered
devices.
