Audiomixer
1. Main faders
Move both faders up to increase the overall volume. Move both faders down to decrease the overall volume. As a rule, slide both yellow faders all the way up.
2. Microphone faders
Faders 1 through 6 allow you to adjust the volume of each individual microphone. The numbers below the fader correspond to the number on the microphone. Move the fader up to increase the volume. Move the fader down to decrease the volume.
3. Denon Mediaplayer fader
This fader allows you to adjust the volume of the Denon Mediaplayer. Move the fader up to increase the volume. Move the fader down to decrease the volume.
4. Mute button.
Press this button to completely mute a specific microphone or the Denon Mediaplayer. If you have set everything up correctly and there is still no sound coming from the speakers, this often means that this button is enabled.
All other buttons, faders, and knobs are not relevant for using the installation.
Microphones
There are 4 wireless handheld and 2 lapel microphones available for use. These microphones can be found in the drawer.
The numbers on the microphones correspond to the numbers on the audio mixer.
Microphones 1 through 3 are handheld microphones from Shure
Microphone 4 is a lapel microphone from Shure.
Microphone 5 is a handheld microphone from Sennheiser
Microphone 6 is a lapel microphone from Sennheiser
It doesn't matter which brand of microphone you use, but make sure you operate the correct fader for the microphone you have chosen. Always set the fader to a low volume when you turn on the microphone. Raise the fader while speaking into the microphone. This will prevent the sound from coming out of the speakers too loudly.
It is possible that the microphone receivers are turned off. If you want to use a microphone, make sure that they are turned on. Press the power switch (8)&(9) and hold until the screen lights up..
Also make sure that the power switch (7) is turned on before using a microphone.
