The U-MIC is a wireless UHF microphone system consisting of two beltpack transmitters and a USB receiver. The system is designed for use with a mixer or amplifier. The receiver requires a 5V 1000mA USB power source. Audio is output via a 3.5mm jack, which can be adapted to 6.3mm using the supplied lead.

Device layout

- 1. Volume control: Adjusts the output level of the transmitter.
- 2. 3.5mm mic input: Connection for the neckband microphone.
- 3. LED power indicator: Shows the power status of the transmitter.
- 4. Power switch: Turns the transmitter on or off.
- 5. Battery compartment: Holds 2 x AA alkaline batteries.
- 6. USB type A plug: Connects to a USB power source for the receiver.
- 7. 3.5mm audio output: Connection for the audio lead to the mixer/amplifier.
- 8. USB type A socket: Pass-through socket for connecting other USB devices.
Setting up
Connect the USB type A plug (6) on the receiver to a 5V 1000mA USB power source (e.g., power adaptor or power bank). Note that the USB port is for power only; audio is not transmitted through it. Connect the supplied 3.5mm to 6.3mm lead from the receiver's audio output (7) to the microphone input on your mixer or amplifier.
Operation
Before connecting, turn down the volume on your mixer or amplifier to avoid loud noises. Connect the neckband microphone to the transmitter's 3.5mm input (2). Open the battery compartment (5) and insert 2 x AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Move the power switch (4) to the 'on' position; the power indicator (3) should light up. Gradually increase the volume on the transmitter and the mixer/amplifier until the desired sound level is reached. When finished, turn down the volume and switch off the power.

Practical help
Common problems
Check that batteries are installed correctly in the transmitters, ensure the receiver is powered via USB, and verify that the volume is turned up on both the transmitter and the connected mixer/amplifier.
Ensure the distance between the transmitter and receiver is within the 50m range and that there are no major obstructions.
Before use
- Insert 2 x AA alkaline batteries into each beltpack transmitter.
- Ensure the USB receiver is connected to a 5V 1000mA power source.
- Turn down the volume on the mixer or amplifier before connecting the receiver.
- Connect the neckband microphone to the transmitter input.
