3. Produk verbyview

The MIPRO ACT-311/ACT-32H system consists of a receiver unit and a handheld microphone transmitter.

3.1. ACT-311 Receiver

The ACT-311 receiver processes the wireless signal from the transmitter and outputs it as an audio signal. It features a clear LCD display, control buttons, and antenna inputs.

3.2. ACT-32H Handheld Transmitter

The ACT-32H is a robust handheld microphone with an integrated wireless transmitter. It includes a power switch, battery compartment, and an ACT sync port.

4. Opstelling

Follow these steps to set up your MIPRO wireless system.

4.1. Ontvangerplasing

• Place the ACT-311 receiver in a location free from obstructions and away from potential sources of interference (e.g., computers, digital processors, other wireless devices).
• Ensure the receiver's antennas are fully extended and positioned vertically for optimal signal reception.
• Maintain a clear line of sight between the receiver and the area where the transmitter will be used.

4.2. Kragverbinding

1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the DC input jack on the rear panel of the ACT-311 receiver.
2. Plug the power adapter into an appropriate AC power outlet.
3. Do not power on the receiver yet.

4.3. Oudio-uitvoerverbinding

Koppel die ontvanger se klankuitset aan jou menger, amplifier, or sound system.

• Gebalanseerde Uitset (XLR): Use an XLR cable to connect the receiver's XLR output to a balanced input on your mixer.
• Unbalanced Output (1/4" Phone Jack): Use a 1/4" phone jack cable to connect the receiver's unbalanced output to an unbalanced input on your mixer or amplewendiger.

4.4. Sender Battery Installasie

1. Unscrew the lower part of the ACT-32H handheld microphone to reveal the battery compartment.
2. Insert two fresh AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Securely screw the lower part back onto the microphone.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

This section details how to operate your MIPRO wireless system.

5.1. Skakel aan/af

• Receiver (ACT-311): Druk die aan/af-knoppie op die voorpaneel. Die LCD-skerm sal verlig.
• Transmitter (ACT-32H): Slide the power switch on the handheld microphone to the "ON" position. The power indicator will light up.
• Always power on the receiver before the transmitter, and power off the transmitter before the receiver.

5.2. Frekwensie-sinchronisasie (ACT-funksie)

MIPRO's patented ACT (Automatic Channel Targeting) function allows for quick and precise frequency matching between the receiver and transmitter.

1. Ensure both the receiver and transmitter are powered on.
2. On the ACT-311 receiver, press the WET OP button. The ACT indicator on the receiver will flash.
3. Align the ACT sync port on the ACT-32H handheld microphone (usually near the base or battery compartment) with the ACT window on the receiver.
4. Hold them together within a few centimeters until the receiver's ACT indicator stops flashing and the transmitter's frequency display matches the receiver's.
5. The system is now synchronized and ready for use.

5.3. Channel Selection (Auto Scan)

Use the Auto Scan function to find the clearest available frequency channel.

1. On the ACT-311 receiver, press the SKANDEER knoppie.
2. The receiver will automatically scan for an interference-free channel.
3. Once a clear channel is found, the receiver will display it.
4. Perform the ACT synchronization process (Section 5.2) to match the transmitter to this newly selected channel.

5.4. Volume aanpassing

Adjust the audio output level of the receiver using the VOLUME control knob on the front panel of the ACT-311. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to a suitable level on your mixer or amplewendiger.

5.5. Mikrofoongebruik

• Hold the ACT-32H microphone approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) from your mouth for optimal vocal pickup.
• Avoid covering the microphone grille with your hand, as this can affect sound quality and signal transmission.
• Be aware of the microphone's unidirectional polar pattern, which means it primarily picks up sound from the front, reducing background noise.

6. Onderhoud

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your wireless system.

6.1. Skoonmaak

• Wipe the receiver and transmitter with a soft, dry cloth.
• Vir hardnekkige vuiligheid, gebruik 'n effense damp doek en droog dan deeglik af.
• Moenie skuurmiddels, oplosmiddels of harde chemikalieë gebruik nie, aangesien dit die afwerking of interne komponente kan beskadig.
• Maak die mikrofoonrooster gereeld skoon om te verhoed dat puin opbou.

6.2. Battery vervanging

• Replace the AA batteries in the ACT-32H transmitter when the low battery indicator appears on the microphone or receiver, or if you notice a decrease in performance.
• Always use fresh, high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
• Verwyder batterye as die sender nie vir 'n lang tydperk gebruik gaan word om lekkasie te voorkom.

6.3. Berging

• Store the system in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• If transporting, use a protective case to prevent physical damage.

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your MIPRO wireless system, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

7.1. Geen klank nie

• Kontroleer krag: Ensure both the receiver and transmitter are powered on and their respective power indicators are lit.
• Gaan verbindings na: Verify that the receiver's audio output is correctly connected to your mixer/amplifier and that all cables are secure.
• Kontroleer volume: Ensure the receiver's volume control is not set to minimum and that your mixer/amplifier input gain is appropriately set.
• Kontroleerfrekwensie: Confirm that the transmitter and receiver are synchronized to the same frequency. Perform ACT synchronization if necessary.
• Gaan batterye na: Replace the batteries in the handheld transmitter if they are low or depleted.

7.2. Interference or Signal Dropouts

• Ontvanger plasing: Relocate the receiver to a higher position or away from metal objects and other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Antenna posisie: Ensure receiver antennas are fully extended and positioned correctly.
• Scan for Clear Channel: Use the Auto Scan function on the receiver to find a new, clear frequency, then re-synchronize the transmitter.
• Bedryfsreeks: Ensure the transmitter is within the recommended operating range of the receiver.
• Batteryvlak: Low transmitter batteries can cause signal instability. Replace them if needed.

7.3. Poor Sound Quality (Distortion, Weak Signal)

• Microphone Proximity: Ensure the microphone is held at an appropriate distance from the sound source (typically 2-6 inches).
• Winsinstellings: Adjust the input gain on your mixer/amplifier. If the signal is too hot, it can cause distortion; if too low, it will be weak.
• Batteryvlak: Weak batteries can affect audio quality. Replace them.
• Obstruksies: Ensure there are no physical obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
