Plug the mini XLR connector (1) on the cable of your microphone or on the MKG L instrument cable(2) into the audio input connector (3) on the bodypack transmitter.2. Set the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch (4) to "ON".3. Switch power to the receiver on.4. Open the battery compartment on the bodypack transmitter.5. Speak or sing into the microphone or play a few bars on your instrument (the louder the better).6. Use the integrated screwdriver (6) on the battery compartment cover (5) to set the gain control (7) tothe point where the receiver will optimally drive the input to which it is connected. (Also refer to themanual of your mixer.)7. Close the battery compartment.1. Activate the Rehearsal function on the receiver referring to section 3.10.1 below.2. Move the transmitter around the area where you will use the system to check the area for "deadspots", i.e., places where the field strength seems to drop and reception deteriorates.If you find any dead spots, try to eliminate them by repositioning the receiver. If this does not help,avoid the dead spots.3. If the received signal is noisy, set the squelch threshold to a level where the noise will stop. (Refer tosection 3.10.2.)Never set the squelch threshold any higher than absolutely necessary. The higher the squelchthreshold, the lower the sensitivity of the receiver and thus the usable range between transmit-ter and receiver.4. The RF bargraph on the receiver extinguishing and the red RF LED (5) coming on mean that no signalis being received or the squelch is active.Switch the transmitter ON, move closer to the receiver, or set the squelch threshold to the point thatthe green RF LED (5) will illuminate and the RF bargraph reappear.The Rehearsal function detects a maximum of six dropouts and records the time each dropout occurred,the minimum field strength at each antenna, and the maximum audio level. You can view the list of resultsafter the recording has stopped.Move the transmitter around the areawhere you will use the system.Up to six dropouts are recorded.You can stop the recording at any timeby pressing o briefly.D1: The recording has been completed,the display indicates dropout no. 1.MIN RF: The recording has been com-pleted, no dropout has been detected.The display indicates the minimum RFlevel measured.OVFL: The recording has been stoppedautomatically because six dropoutshave been detected already or becausethe available time (16 minutes) haselapsed.•To retrieve the other results press or briefly.

Thehigher the squelch threshold, the lowerthe sensitivity of the receiver and thusthe usable range between transmitterand receiver.1. Be sure to assign a separate carrier frequency to each wireless channel (transmitter and receiver).2. To find intermodulation-free carrier frequencies quickly and easily, we recommend using Auto Presetto select all required carrier frequencies from the same Frequency Group within the same Preset.If reception on the selected carrier frequency is poor, use Auto Channel Setup (refer to section 3.9.2)to find the next clean Subchannel within the selected Frequency Group. Should you find no cleanSubchannel, use Auto Group Setup to select a different Frequency Group within the same Preset andselect a new frequency for each WMS 4000 channel (refer to sections 3.9.1 and 3.9.2).3. Do not operate two or more wireless channels on the same frequency at the same time and location.This would cause unwanted noise due to radio interference.To toggle between LOCK and SETUP modes, press and hold the o key for about 1.5 seconds.When the receiver is in LOCK mode, the "LOCK" label is shown on the display.

The display will indicate the remaining battery capacity inhours.A handheld vocal microphone provides many ways of shaping the sound of your voice as it is heard overthe sound system.The following sections contain useful hints on how to use your HT 400 handheld transmitter for bestresults.Basically, your voice will sound the bigger and mellower, the closer you hold the microphone to your lips.Moving away from the microphone will produce a more reverberant, more distant sound, as the micro-phone will pick more of the room’s reverberation.You can use this effect to make your voice sound aggressive, neutral, insinuating, etc. simply by chang-ing your working distance.Proximity effect is a more or less dramatic boost of low frequencies that occurs when you sing into themicrophone from less than 2 inches. It gives more "body" to your voice and an intimate, bass-heavysound.Sing to one side of the microphone or above and across the microphone’s top. This provides a well-bal-anced, natural sound.If you sing directly into the microphone, it will not only pick up excessive breath noise but also overem-phasize "sss", "sh", "tch", "p", and "t" sounds.Feedback is the result of part of the sound projected by a speaker being picked up by a microphone, fedto the amplifier, and projected again by the speaker. Above a specific volume or "system gain" settingcalled the feedback threshold, the signal starts being regenerated indefinitely, making the sound systemhowl and the sound engineer desperately dive for the master fader to reduce the volume and stop thehowling.To increase usable gain before feedback, place the main ("FOH") speakers in front of the microphones(along the front edge of the stage).If you use monitor speakers, be sure never to point any microphone directly at the monitors.Feedback may also be triggered by resonances depending on the acoustics of the room or hall. With res-onances at low frequencies, proximity effect may cause feedback. In this case, it is often enough to moveaway from the microphone a little to stop the feedback.1. Never let more than two persons share a microphone.2. Ask your backing vocalists never to sing more than 35 degrees off the microphone axis.The microphone is very insensitive to off-axis sounds. If the two vocalists were to sing into the micro-phone from a wider angle than 35 degrees, you may end up bringing up the fader of the microphonechannel far enough to create a feedback problem.1. Set the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch (19) to "MUTE/PRG" (center position).•If you switched from "OFF" to "MUTE/PRG":The transmitter audio and RF sections are OFF and the status LED (20) is dark.
