Tip: Connecting the Charger to the Mics

Setting the Levels

• Rule of Thumb: If you can hear yourself back through the system, it is too loud

• Use a partner to help get the initial level set in the room– Have partner wear microphone and talk in a

normal one-on-one conversation tone– Stand across from each other in the room, and

adjust level– Switch and wear microphone while partner

listens
