General Information
Digital
Transmitter
•Charge fully before first use using the charging adapter and USB cable provided.
•The digital transmitter is supplied with a gooseneck and a boom (headset)
microphone.
•In most circumstances the boom (headset) microphone will offer the best
performance. The gooseneck microphone offers convenience and must be
positioned within 20cm of the mouth to perform well.
•Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker or feedback (squealing sound)
may occur when you turn the system on. Select a low volume level initially and
slowly increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
•If you chose to use the headset microphone plugged directly into the speaker (see
below for ‘hard-wired’ operation) make sure the digital transmitter is turned OFF.
Boom Mic
(Headset
Microphone)
•The boom microphone picks up speech close to the mouth, improving performance
in noisy environments, and will help to avoid any acoustic feedback.
•Place the mic frame earhooks over your ears and adjust the boom arm to position
the mic capsule to point to the corner of your mouth.
•It is not necessary to place the microphone in front of your lips and doing so may
diminish sound quality.
•The boom microphone frame can be adjusted to rest comfortably over both ears,
with no other contact or pressure points against the head or face.
•Plug the microphone into the jack on top of the digital transmitter
•Alternatively, the boom microphone may be plugged directly into the AUX IN port
of the speaker for ‘hard-wired’ operation. In this mode of operation the digital
transmitter should be turned OFF.
Gooseneck
Microphone
•The gooseneck microphone may be used if the digital transmitter is worn around
the neck on the lanyard supplied with the system.
•Position the microphone so the capsule is within 20cm from your mouth. Adjust the
flexible gooseneck away from your body so that the microphone windscreen does
not rub against your clothing.
•Plug the microphone into the jack on top of the digital transmitter.
•It is not recommended to plug the gooseneck microphone directly into the speaker.
Speaker
Connections
•Use the charging adapter and USB cable provided with the Sprek speaker.
•The speaker has an AUX IN port which will accept most Simeon microphones as
well as peripheral audio devices.
•The AUX IN port does not support consumer smartphone earphones or headsets.
Bluetooth •Note that the digital transmitter communicates with the speaker via a 900MHz real-
time wireless signal. The Bluetooth function is used only for streaming audio from
smartphones and other devices.
•When pairing your smartphone or other Bluetooth device with the speaker to
stream music etc., keep them less than 10m apart.

Unidirectional microphone capsule
A unidirectional boom (headset) microphone is supplied with your Sprek system as a
premium accessory. The boom microphone picks up speech very closely, improving
performance in noisy environments, and will help to avoid any acoustic feedback. In most
circumstances, the boom microphone will provide better performance and more available
amplification than the standard gooseneck microphone. It is important to position the
boom microphone correctly and adjust it for user comfort..
Adjust the boom arm to position the mic capsule to point directly
towards the corner of your mouth. The best angle of pickup is
within a 30° range. It is not necessary to place the microphone in
front of your lips and doing so may diminish sound quality.

There is no need to assign a transmitter user number for normal single-transmitter operation.
If you add a second transmitter to your Sprek system, it will be necessary to assign a separate
number (user ‘1’ and user ‘2’) to permit dual operation without interference.

If you are using multiple Sprek systems in the same building, you should assign a different
channel number (between 0 and 9) to each system to avoid frequency interference. Note that
when using dual transmitters with a speaker, the transmitters should be set to the same channel
number but assigned as user ‘1’ and user ‘2’ to avoid interference.
