MIPRO - Knowledge | Wireless Knowledge

Conventional wireless microphone receivers are equipped with a volume control on the control panel for adjusting the output volume, just like a radio receiver. However, a wireless microphone receiver is much more complex to properly adjust than a radio. If not set up carefully according to the recommendations in the user's guide, it can easily put out a distorted or weak signal and appear to be not operating properly. The fault appears to be in the equipment when it is actually operator-error that is causing the problem.

Mixers and amplifiers have both "LINE IN" and "MIC IN" input jacks. The "LINE IN" input jacks are used for connecting radio tuners, cassette recorder / players, CD players, etc. to the system while "MIC IN" inputs are used for all microphones. The input characteristics of the "MIC IN" jacks are designed and based on the dynamic microphone's sensitivity and dynamic range. Connecting a microphone to this input will enable you to obtain the optimal acoustic performance by simply adjusting the volume control on the mixer without having to worry about making the proper adjustment of a volume control on the microphone itself as well.

A MIPRO wireless receiver's output level is precisely pre-adjusted during production to match the sensitivity of the microphone capsule, eliminating the need for any further volume control adjustment. Simply plug the receiver audio output cable into the "MIC IN" jack on the mixer and the wireless system immediately delivers optimal sensitivity and dynamic range, thereby avoiding operator-error, accidental actions and erratic volume controls.
