Frequently Asked Questions - Executive SW505A AmpliVox

How do I select the correct frequency on the wireless microphone?

Set the Frequency Selector Switch on both the transmitter and receiver to the same channel (A or B). The frequencies are: A: 171.105 MHz, B: 171.845 MHz. Make sure both units are set identically. Two transmitters on the same frequency will not work with one receiver.

What should I do if I hear feedback?

Feedback (howl or screech) occurs when loudspeaker sound re-enters the microphone. Check: 1) User's hand covering microphone head (hold below slots). 2) Keep loudspeaker aimed at audience. 3) Avoid hard surfaces reflecting sound. 4) Reduce microphone channel volume or speak louder/closer to mic.

How do I install batteries in the amplifier?

Remove all cables from amplifier. Unscrew the thumb screws on the battery compartment. Pull out the battery carriage. Insert 10 D-cell alkaline batteries, observing polarity. Do not mix battery types. Replace carriage and retighten screws. Optionally use S1465 NiCad rechargeable pack with S1460 charger.

Why is there no sound and the red LED is off?

Check that the amplifier POWER switch is on and the red LED is lit. If not, check battery connections and charge. If using optional power adapter, ensure it is properly seated in the DC IN jack and that the power source is live. Also verify microphone is connected and volume is turned up.

How do I adjust the height of the lectern?

Place one hand flat on the reading table holding it down. Loosen the adjustable height knob with the other hand. Extend up to maximum 45 inches or lower to minimum 39 inches (measured from amplifier side). Tighten the locking knob at desired height.

Can I use two wireless microphones at the same time?

No, two transmitters on the same frequency will not work with one receiver. However, two or more receivers can work with the same transmitter. To use two wireless mics, you need a second receiver (external) connected to the wireless input.

What type of microphone can I use with the condenser input?

The condenser input uses a 3.5mm jack and provides phantom power for electret or condenser microphones. It is compatible with most lapel and headset microphones that require bias voltage.

How do I connect an external audio source?

Connect your audio source (CD player, MP3 player, computer) to the LINE IN jack on the control panel using a standard audio cable. Adjust the AUX volume and tone controls to balance with the microphones.

What is the range of the wireless microphone?

The VHF wireless system has a useful range of up to 300 feet (90 meters) in open air. Range can be affected by obstacles, other radio sources, or low battery.

How do I clean the lectern?

Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surfaces. Do not use harsh chemicals or water. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen cloth with mild soap. Ensure no moisture enters the electronics or speaker grille.

USER MANUAL Executive SW505A AmpliVox

The VHF wireless microphone system is compact, lightweight and compatible with all Ampivox VHF wireless systems. The wireless mic operates in an authorized VHF band and has a useful range of up to 300-ft. Each system operates on two crystal-controlled, switch selectable frequencies for clear clean transmission.

"A" Channel "B" Channel

T6: 171.105 MHz T7: 171.845 MHz

The frequency appears on the back of each unit. Both transmitter and receiver must have the same, and both units must be set to either "A" or "B." Note that two transmitters on the same frequency will not work with one receiver. However two or more receivers will work with the same transmitter. Before use, make certain you understand the function and operation of the system.

RF INTERFERENCE

Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services. According to the Federal Communications Commission regulations, "Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any interference is received by any Government or non-Government operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation." If you need assistance with operation of frequency selection, please contact your dealer or AmpliVox. Additionally there are models available for use in Canada.

POWER SOURCE

The transmitter and receiver are each operated by a 9V alkaline battery. Before use, install a battery as shown. Make certain the battery is fully seated in its compartment so the cover slides in place easily. Battery life with alkaline batteries is approximately 8 hours of operating time. The receiver also features an external jack for connecting a 9V DC power supply (not included).

If there is a "dead spot" in a room, try a slight change of position or try changing frequencies. Each unit provides two selectable transmitting frequencies.

1) Switch the Frequency Selector Switch to the desired channel (A or B).
2) Belt clip on the back of the unit clips the transmitter onto a belt or the transmitter simply can be put into a pocket.
31 Plug the microphone into the Mic Input Jack.
4) The microphone can be clipped to a necktie or other clothing, using the supplied clip. The lapel mis should be placed under the chin, as close to the center of the body as possible
5) Slide the power ON/OFF switch to the ON position (the LED indicator light will illuminate).

HELPFUL HINTS

A) If the selected channel is noisy, switch both the transmitter and receiver to the other channel.

B) Low ceiling fluorescent lighting, overhead telephone lines, or close proximity to metal fences can all cause static. If this occurs, try a slight change of position and/or try changing frequencies.

C: When the battery voltage drops below 6V, the LED indicator will go out. This means you need a new battery.

D) Be sure to turn off the power whenever the units are not in use, and remove the batteries if the units will be out of service for a long time. NOTE: There are no user-adjustable parts inside the transmitter or receiver Do not attempt to open or make any adjustments. E) Cellular telephones cause interference. Ask your audience to turn off their cell phones.

BELT CLIP

A detachable belt clip is included for convenience. Slide the tapered end of the belt clip into the grooved area located on the back of the unit until it clicks into place.

PROBLEM SOLVING

FEEDBACK

Feedback is the howl or scroch often heard in sound reinforcement systems. It is caused by sound from the loudspeaker returning to the microphone. Ampivox systems utilize proven acoustical principles to minimize this; however, there is no way to completely eliminate feedback under conditions of high amplification. If feedback occurs check the following:

1. User's hand covering the head of the microphone. (Hold microphone under head slots.)
2. Sound can easily re-enter microphone. Keep loudspeaker turned toward audience. Note: sound can be reflected from a hard surface back through the microphone. (Tum speaker.)
3. User holding microphone in a reflecting position. (Turn microphone.)
4. Volume setting too high. (Reduce microphone channel volume; compensate by speaking louder or closer to the microphone.)

NO SOUND

Make sure amplifier POWER switch is turned on and rod LED is lit. If switch is on and LED is not lit, check to see that batteries are properly connected and at full charge. If using optional power adapter, check to see that front panel connector is properly seated, and verify that power source is live.
