IMPORTANT
Q-Audio QWM1960 V2 systems use 16 UHF frequencies from 863.0 to 865.0 MHz or 606.0 - 614.0 MHz. Systems
are available with handheld microphones orbodypacks (including headset mic, lavalier/lapel mic and guitar/
instrument lead). If you have purchased theoptional Q-Audio 1960 BP V2 Kit, you will also need a Q-Audio
QWM1960 V2 receiver (not included in the1960 BP V2 Kit) to operate and receive signals from your bodypack.

The transmitter battery level indicator can befound in thelower left of each half of the display (next to theACT IR
icon). This shows how much battery power is left in your mic/bodypack transmitter. Always check this battery level if
you are having trouble connecting your mic/bodypack transmitter. When the lock indicator is lit, the controls are
‘frozen’ to avoid accidental changes. To unlock, simply press and hold the Set button (2.).
Receiver operation
1. Connect audio outputs for channel A and B to your mixer/amplifier/PA speaker system, choose either two
balanced XLR cables for dual output or a single unbalanced 6.35mm jack cable for mixed output of both channels.
2. Turn down the volume controls on your mixer/amplifier/PA speaker system before connecting your transmitters.
3. Connect the DC power supply to the receiver (10.) and plug into an appropriate power outlet.
Automatic transmitter connection to receiver (ACT)
1. Ensure that the microphone/bodypack is turned OFF and the receiver is turned ON.
2. Decide which of the 16 frequencies you wish channel Ato operate on. In this example we will choose the first
frequency (863.00MHz). On the receiver unit, press and hold theSet button (3.) until the word ‘Channel’ starts
flashing on the receiver display (4.). Press theup or down buttons (2.) to move through thefrequencies until you
reach your chosen frequency (e.g. 001 / 863.00). Press and hold the Set button (2.) for three seconds to select the
frequency and move onto connecting themic/bodypack transmitter. The ACT icon will now flash on the display.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handheld mic or open the bodypack battery compartment.
4. Now turn ON your mic/bodypack transmitter.
5. Ensure that there is a short and direct line-of-sight between the transmitter infrared connect window (13. on the
mic or 22. on thebodypack) and thereceiver’s infrared connect window (5.). Point the front of the mic or the open
battery compartment of the bodypack towards theright hand side of the receiver’s front panel.
6. When the mic/bodypack display (12./21.) shows the same frequency as the receiver, the two are connected. The
RF indicator should also change to indicate connection and the ACT icon will stop flashing.
7. If the receiver displays stops flashing before connection, press theSet button again to restart the process.
8. To test the connection, speak into themic, the AFindicator should change indicate that the unit is receiving an
audio signal. To test the bodypack, attach one of the mics or an instrument to the bodypack input socket (16.), turn
up the volume control (17.) and speak/play, the AF indicator will change to indicate that the unit is receiving a signal.
Whenever the mic/bodypack transmitter or system are turned off and then turned onagain, the ACT connection
should remain inplace until you change the channel frequency onthereceiver. This allows the mic/bodypack to be
turned on and off during performance. If for any reason theconnection is lost, simply repeat from step 1.
To connect the second microphone/bodypack to Channel B, repeat the above procedure fromstep 1. (but choose a
different frequency in step 2.). To avoid interference between thetwochannels, ensure that your chosen
frequencies are not too close to each other (e.g. 1+2), instead choose two separated frequencies e.g. 1+14 or 5+15.
When both channels have transmitters connected, turn up the channel volume controls on your connected
mixer/amplifier/PA speaker system, you should hear the signal coming through and you can adjust the volumes to
suit your performance. To adjust the output volume of each channel of the receiver, press the up/down Selection
buttons (2.) to increase or decrease thevolume.
VERY IMPORTANT - if you wish to run 2 receivers and 4 transmitters together and to avoid interference between
the twosystems, it is recommended you use the following setup:
Unit 1- set channel Ato frequency 1and set channel Bto frequency 14.
Unit 2- set channel Ato frequency 5and set channel Bto frequency 15.
Other functions
To search for a free channel on the receiver, press and hold the Set button (3.), press the Set button repeatedly until
Frequency on the display begins to flash. Use the up/down Selection buttons (2.) to find a free channel, then press
the Set (3.) button again to confirm your choice.
To adjust the mic/bodypack transmitter power output, press and hold the Set button (3.), press the Set button
repeatedly until POW onthedisplay begins to flash. Use theup/down Selection buttons (2.) to choose either HI
(high power) or LO (low power), then press theSet (3.) button again to confirm your choice.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble connecting themic/bodypack transmitters to thereceiver, first check whether you have
fresh working batteries correctly installed. Weak or dead batteries will NOT be able to make a connection. If you
still fail to connect the two, start by turning both units OFF for 5 seconds, then turning the receiver only back on and
starting the connection procedure from step 1.If you get intermittent interference while using a handheld microphone
ensure that you are holding it in them middle and NOT by either end as this is where the antennas are situated.
