10. SETUP AND OPERATION OF THE
REDMIKE VC AND TOPCAT
Once the REDMIKE is charged, follow these steps to set it up for use.
NOTE: This procedure is easier with two people.
1. Turn the TOPCAT power on. The
blue LED on the Media Connector
will glow.
2. Remove the REDMIKE VC from the
charging cradle and turn it on.
3. Slip the REDMIKE VC with lanyard
around the neck and position the
top of the microphone just below
the collarbone. NOTE: Positioning
of the REDMIKE VC is critical for
proper volume adjustment.
4. Set the REDMIKE VC volume to
its midpoint. Push the up arrow
button 9 times followed by
pushing the down arrow button 4
times. The REDMIKE VC is at its
midpoint.
5. While speaking in a normal voice
slowly increase the volume of the
corresponding channel (A or B)
on the TOPCAT until your voice is
barely audible. Each REDMIKE VC
has its channel pre-set to either A
or B, as indicated on the back of
the Mic.
REMEMBER: This equipment
supplements the user’s voice
so they are able to speak in a
conversational tone. Having the
volume set too high will result in
feedback and listener fatigue.
6. Once initial volume level is set,
walk around the room and listen
for audio dropout and overall
audio quality.
Note: A nominal volume level
must be set on the TOPCAT
before adjusting controls on the
REDMIKE VC.
7. The teacher can now use the
controls on the REDMIKE VC
to adjust the volume level from
anywhere in the room. The
microphone volume control has 4
steps up and 4 steps down from
the mid point (9 levels total).
6. If a second REDMIKE VC was
purchased, repeat steps 2-5.
