System Overview
Receiver
The PTV-1 is a dual wireless microphone system designed to offer great sound
quality and ease of use in a compact package. It is very simple to set up and
operate, and it is the perfect choice for public address, karaoke, live perfor-
mances, interviews, sermons and many more. The signal from the microphones
(either handheld, lavalier or headset, depending on the combination you
purchased) is wirelessly transmitted to the receiver, which is connected to your
amplifier, mixer or powered speakers with the included ¼" cable or with a micro-
phone cable with an XLR connector (not included).

Troubleshooting Tips
ISSUE REASON SOLUTION
Transmitter battery indi-
cator is rapidly fiashing
or continuously ON
A howling noise (also
known as "feedback")
can be heard from the
speakers
No sound coming to the
receiver
(AF LED does not light
up)
Sound reaches the
receiver,
(AF LED lights up)
but no sound coming
from the receiver
The batteries are low
The microphone is too
dose to the speaker
The wireless microphone
is outside of the receiver's
range
The wireless transmitter is
off or muted (switch set to
"OFF" or "MUTE")
Volume control too low
Output is not (or wrongly)
connected
Verify all connections
to the rest of your system.
Try different connection
cables if availlble.
Turn up the output
volume by tuming the
volume control buttons
in the front of the
receiver clockwise.
Turn wireless micro-
phone on (switch set
to "ON"). Replace
batteries if necessary
Keep wireless
microphone within
operating range of the
receiver
Increase the distance
between the microphone
and the speaker Avoid
pointing the microphone
directly at the speaker
Replace with fresh
batteries

Under normal operation, the battery power indicator (1) will
briefly light up when powering on the microphone.
If the battery power indicator (1) stays continuously on
after powering on the microphone, the batteries must be
replaced. To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the battery compartment cover (3) and set it aside
- After removing the old batteries, insert new ones, making sure
to respect proper polarity
- Screw the battery compartment cover (3) back in place

Bodypack
The Phenyx VHF bodypack is to be used with the Phenyx
lavalier microphones & headsets
Set Up:
1 - Secure the bodypack to clothing, belt or pocket.
2 - (a) For a lavalier microphone, clip the microphone to clothing about 1 foot under the mouth.
(b) For a headset, install headset comfortably on head so the microphone can be placed
close to the mouth.
3 - Connect the microphone audio connector to the bodypack microphone input (4）
4 - Turn the bodypack on by sliding the the ON/MUTE/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The
battery power indicator (2) will light up briefly, indicating that the batteries have sufficient
power.
If the battery power indicator (3) stays continuously on after powering on the
bodypack, the batteries must be replaced. To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:
- Open the battery compartment door by pushing on the door sides and pulling it open
- After removing the old batteries, insert new ones, making sure to respect
proper polarity
- Close compartment by gently pushing the compartment door until it clicks
1 - Install fresh batteries in the transmitters (refer to the section relative to the sp-
ecific transmitter you are using).
2 - Connect the AC power adapter to a wall outlet and to the back of the receiver.
3 - Position the antennas 60° apart from each other
as shown.
4 - Connect one of the two outputs available at the back panel to the next stage
in your system. Typically, use the 4" output to connect to unbalanced equipm-
ent such as consumer level receivers, amplifiers, and mixers. Connect to pro-
fessional equipment using the XLR output (cable not included).
5 - Making sure the volume of your speakers is off, turn on the receiver and the
transmitters. The "RF" LED turns on, indicating that the corresponding trans-
mitter is paired with the receiver. Note that the number displayed (the channel
number) is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The "AF" LED indicates the presence
of an audio signal coming from the transmitter.
6 - Turn the volume of your speakers back on and start increasing the volume of
the transmitters until proper volume is achieved. The balance between the two
microphones can be adjusted with the front panel volume controls.
For better results, keep the transmitters at least 2' away from the receiver but
within the transmitter's range (150'). Keep the transmitters in a direct line of
sight with the receiver whenever possible.
Transmitters can be used one at a time or simultaneously.
Use the MUTE position on the transmitter switch to silence the microphone
without interrupting the pairing with the receiver, which could cause unwanted
popping sounds.
