The audio
is noisy or
distorted. This
can include
drop outs, white
noise, bursts,
pops, and clicks.
The RF signal is
weak.
Make sure there is an unobstructed line of sight between
the receiver’s and the transmitter’s antennas. Keep in mind
that your body, wardrobe, and onstage sets are possible
obstructions.
Make sure the receiver and transmitter are within the 100′
(30.5 m) range.
If there are obstructions you may need to move closer.
When using the ULW-16-HHT handheld transmitter, make sure
you’re holding it in the middle of the body and that your hand
isn’t covering the antenna, located at the end of the transmitter.
If the RF light is blinking, the signal is
not strong enough. Check the audio.
The RF light should consistently glow
red.
The input level
on the camera,
recorder, or mixer
is too high.
Make sure you use the attenuator cable with the line-level side
plugged into the receiver.
Turn down the audio input level on your camera or recording
device.
Make sure the output of the receiver is plugged into the line-
level input on your mixer, or that the line/ mic switch on your
mixer is set to “line.”
Turn down the gain on your mixer.
If there is no adjustment on the device, adjust the microphone
level on the transmitter. Keep this level as high as possible
without distortion.
For general dialog, try to keep the
microphone-level in the target level
mark. Because the talent can adjust
this, make sure he or she is aware
of the receiver and knows not to
change the controls unless instructed
otherwise.
Make note of your level settings before
recording.
