Artone MIC
Wireless Microphone
Thank you for choosing Artone.
Artone MIC is a wireless microphone that enables
clear sound transmission over distance.
Artone MIC enhances understanding over
distance in situations of high ambient noise,
transmitting the speaker's voice directly to the
user's hearing aid or Cochlear implant via Artone
streamer.
earing aid user and Cochlear implant users
can use Artone MIC in any environment to
enhance the function of their hearing device and
understand clearly in loud situations, in school
lectures, in group meetings or over distance.
The sound from the audio source is picked up
by the wireless microphone and streamed directly
to the Artone streamer, and subsequently to the
user's hearing device. The sound received by the
hearing device will be much easier to process, as it
will not have all the added noise that sound is
picking up when traveling from distance.
The compact design and internal rechargeable
battery provides long play time and versatility in
use.
The Artone MIC is the ideal solution to
stream clear audio signal without delay or
interference.
Please be sure to read through this User
Manual until the end.

2.3 Using the Artone MIC
2.3.1 Adjusting the sensivity of the Artone
MIC
Artone MIC can be used in situation of high
ambient noise and quiet “classroom”
environment.
a. situations with high ambient noise
(restaurant, group meeting etc.): put the
Artone MIC as close as possible to the
sound source (clip it to the speaker’s
collar) and decrease the sensitivity on
the Artone MIC to desired level. The
lower the sensitivity level, the clearer the
sound will be. Adjust the volume setting
on your Artone streamer.
b. quiet “classroom” environment: put the
Artone MIC on a desk as close as
possible to the speaker and increase the
sensitivity on the Artone MIC to desired
level. The higher the sensitivity level is
set, the further from the speaker the
Artone MIC can be placed. Adjust the
volume setting on your Artone streamer.
2.3.2 Using the Artone MIC with the lapel
microphone (optional)
In situations of
- outdoor activity when weather
conditions (wind, rain) do not allow
clear sound transmission
- when frequent adjustment of volume and
sensitivity is needed
- in situations of extra high ambient noise,
lowering the sensitivity of the Artone
MIC to minimum and using the lapel
microphone in close distance will allow
clearer voice transmission
2.3.3 Using the Artone MIC with the
televion or other audio source (optional)
Plug in the audio cable (optional) into the
3,5mm headphone jack of your audio device
(e.g. television). Clear sound from your audio
source is then streamed directly into your
Artone streamer and then into your hearing
device.
When the audio cable is connected to the
3,5mm headphone jack of your audio device,
the internal microphone of the Artone MIC will
be disconnected.
Note
• The Artone MIC will enter pairing mode
automatically when powered on for the first
time.
• The Artone MIC can remember
previously paired devices and will attempt to
pair with devices automatically, without
going into pairing mode.
• Pairing mode will last 2 minutes. The
receiver will enter standby mode if no
devices can be connected within 2 minutes.
