Setting up the Microphones Overview The goal is for each of the UHF-5900’s wireless channels to be operating on a frequency free of interference. This can be accomplished two ways 1) automatic frequency selection, and 2) manual frequency selection. We recommend using the automatic method fi rst, as this method will work well for most areas. However, if you live in a metropolitan area where RF activity is dense, manual frequency selection may work better for you. If you choose the manual method

Using the Wireless Mics Microphone Position The UHF-5900 is ideal for close-up vocals and can be held in the hand or mounted on a mic stand. Keep in mind that microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste, and there is no one “correct” microphone position. Feedback Feedback occurs when the amplifi ed sound from any loudspeaker reenters the sound system through any open microphone and is repeatedly amplifi ed. Most commonly, feedback is caused by the following conditions: • Placing l

Basic Operations Setting Up with Stage Monitors/P.A. System If you will be using the UHF-5900 with stage monitors and/or a P.A. system, try the following: • Place the stage monitor directly in front of the microphone. • Locate the P.A. loudspeakers so that they point away from the rear of the microphone. (With � � ����������������� � � �� � the speakers located in these positions, the ����������������������� possibility of feedback is greatly reduced). • Always check the stage setup before

Advanced Operation Testing a Channel for Outside Interference Once a microphone and module have been successfully paired, turn the microphone OFF (leave the module ON). With the microphone off, if the RF indicator still has bars showing, there exists interference. Note that RF interference can ebb and fl ow. Sometimes it may appear as 4 steady bars on the RF indicator, other times, it may weakly occupy a single bar or two. Generally, we recommend looking for another channel if ANY bars registe
