Model Number: M5
CHANNEL OPTIONS
M5 offers seven channel options: Channel 0 (Auto Mode) and six fixed-frequency channels (1-6). Your set will connect in Auto Mode by default—but you can use any fixed-frequency channel by setting the Transmitter and Receiver to the same channel (1-6). Channel 0 automatically scans the local RF environment and selects available frequencies to help maintain a stable wireless connection. For typical single-set use, Channel 0 is recommended.
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER
After wirelessly linking the units, connect the M5 Receiver to your audio device. Plug the Receiver directly into an XLR mic input on your device (mixer, powered speaker, audio interface). This is the simplest and most common setup.
ONE MICROPHONE, MULTIPLE RECEIVERS
To send a signal from one Microphone/Transmitter to multiple Receivers, select one of the fixed-frequency channels (1–6) and set the Transmitter and all Receivers to the same channel. Auto Mode (Channel 0) cannot be used with more than one Receiver connected to the same Transmitter.
MULTIPLE SYSTEMS, ONE AREA
Using fixed-frequency channels (1–6), you can use up to six M5 systems simultaneously in the same area, with one system per fixed channel. And/or, you can use up to five factory pre-paired systems using Auto Mode (Channel 0)—each system operating as a one-to-one paired Transmitter and Receiver. The limits above do not restrict the ability of a single Transmitter to connect to multiple Receivers using fixed-frequency channels.
XLR-TO-1/4″ OPTIONS
The M5 Receiver connects to a female XLR input only, ready to connect directly into an XLR mic input on your mixer or interface. However, the included XLR-to-6.35 mm (1/4”) adapter also allows you to connect to 1/4” inputs on powered speakers or amplifiers!
