Wireless Microphones

A wireless lavalier microphone is installed in most G.U. spaces for voice lift needs.

Each wireless microphone is mapped to a specific location and it will only operate in the room for which it has been configured.

The audio output from this microphone feeds the local speakers, and it is also routed back into the classroom Rack-PC to support audio capture, and/or web conferencing (where applicable).

Lavalier Microphone Placement:

Microphone placement/location is important for effective voice lift performance. Please ensure that a clear line-of-sight to the microphone is maintained without physical obstruction. It is recommended that the microphone capsule is:

  • Positioned between 5 ~ 8 inches, below one’s chin;
  • Firmly fastened, pointing directly up towards the presenter’s mouth;

Lectrosonics LMa Microphone

Power up the microphone by using the on/off switch located on the top of the beltpack. It will take a few seconds before the microphone becomes active during which the beltpack’s LED indicators will flash several times.

If the battery indicator is amber, red, or not illuminated after turning the microphone on, replace the battery.

To replace the battery:

  • Invert, and observe the bottom of the beltpack case: this cover is the battery door
  • At the narrow edge firmly press the up on tensioned battery door to push it slightly up and away from the case whilst rotating it outward – to the side
  • The battery compartment should now be exposed. The single, 9-volt battery should easily slide out from this compartment.
  • On the inside of the battery compartment locate the diagram that shows the correct battery polarity.
  • Insert the new, 9-volt battery to match the polarity as indicated.
  • To close the battery door, rotate and re-seat it by sliding the battery door toward the case.

Note: Do not force the battery door closed; it is designed to resist full, and complete closure to indicate if a battery has not been inserted correctly
