Redcat should be placed within 7 feet of an electrical outlet and on a surface
about 4-6 feet o the ground.
Next, find a location as far away as possible from the teacher who will be using
the microphone. Avoid putting Redcat in close proximity to the teacher’s mic
which can result in feedback.
Connect the AC power cord into the DC power supply. Insert the connector
into the Redcat and plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Redcat
automatically powers on and the white POWER light on the front panel will glow.
