Using the QWM 6 wireless receiver
The QWM6 uses a dynamic frequency switching system whereby it swaps between frequencies/antenna when in
use to avoid interference. This process is fully automatic and does not require the user to make any adjustments.
1. Connect output to your mixer/amplifier, either a balanced XLR cable or an unbalanced, single conductor 1/4
inch jack plug cable.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the receiver and plug into an appropriate power outlet.
Using the QWM 11 wireless receiver
1. Connect outputs for channel A & B to your mixer/amplifier, either two balanced XLR cables for dual output or a
single unbalanced 1/4 inch jack plug cable for mixed output of both channels.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the receiver and plug into an appropriate power outlet.
Using the wireless microphone transmitter(s)
1. Slide the mic ON/OFF/STANDBY switch to the ON position.
2. Check the signal indicator is lit on your receiver to see if the radio signal is being received.
3. If the signal indicator is lit, begin singing or speaking.
4. During the performance, slide the ON/OFF/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position when the mic is not
being used.
5. When the performance is over, slide the ON/OFF/STANDBY switch to the OFF position to conserve battery
power.
Microphone battery installation
