VHF Wireless Microphones
Extend the 2 VHF antennas at the rear of the unit (1, 11) - these are detachable when not in use.
Insert 2 of the supplied AA batteries into the handheld microphone by carefully unscrewing the base and
connecting the “+” and “-” terminals of the battery to the corresponding contacts inside the microphone body,
taking care to observe the correct polarity. Screw the base back onto the microphone and switch the POWER
switch fully upwards (centre position for this switch is the “mute” setting).
For the headset, connect the neckband microphone to the bodypack transmitter by inserting the mini jack
connector into the bodypack (turn the threaded collar to lock the jack into the socket).
Pinch the sides of front of the bodypack to open the battery compartment cover on the lower part of the
bodypack and insert 2 of the supplied AA batteries, again carefully observing the correct polarity. Replace the
battery cover and slide the top switch to the ON position.
Turn the “MIC VOL” control (9) clockwise up gradually and speak into each microphone, checking for output
through the PAV8 speaker.
Each transmitter has a corresponding receiver built into the PAV8 cabinet and an “RF” LED indicator lights for
each when the radio frequency from that particular transmitter is active. If these are lit but no sound is heard,
it may be that the transmitter is switched to MUTE or the MIC VOL control is turned down.
Take care not to incur “feedback” (howling or screeching sound through the speaker) by keeping the
microphone a sensible distance from the speaker and pointing away from the speaker so that it doesn’t hear
the speaker output.
Turning the ECHO control clockwise introduces an echo function for singing and special effects.
When not in use, switch the wireless microphones off.
External Inputs
In addition to the PAV8’s own VHF microphones, a 6.3mm jack input (16) is provided to connect an external
wired or wireless microphone, again governed by the MIC VOL control (9).
A twin RCA AUX IN (12) is provided for a line input source such as CD or mp3 player (stereo summed to
mono). The AUX input is governed by the AUX VOL control (8) at the top of the panel.
Audio Output
Next to the AUX IN connectors are 2 AUX OUT connectors (13). These carry the full mix of microphones,
media player and line input to provide a feed to further amplifiers, active speakers or recording equipment.
Video Output
A composite video connection is provided on RCA (14) in order to allow the video output from the disc player
to be connected to projectors or display screens.
