HELPFUL HINTS
A) If the selected channel is noisy, switch both the transmitter and
receiver to the other channel.
C) Low ceiling fluorescent lighting, overhead telephone lines, or close
proximity to metal fences can all cause static. If this occurs, try a
slight change of position and/or try changing frequencies.
D) When the battery voltage drops below 6V, the LED indicator will
go out. This means you need a new battery.
E) Be sure to turn off the power whenever the units are not in use,
and remove the batteries if the units will be out of service for a
long time.
F) Cellular telephones cause interference with the wireless mic. Please
ask your audience to turn off their cell phones.
NOTE: There are no user-adjustable parts inside the transmitter or
receiver Do not attempt to open or make any adjustments
BELT CLIP
A detachable belt clip is included for convenience. Slide the tapered
end of the belt clip into the grooved area located on the back of the unit
until it clicks into place.
AUX OUT
Power source for 12 to 15V DC accessories.
MICROPHONE VOLUME
Controls the volume level of the microphones, including the wireless
microphones.
MICROPHONE INPUTS
There are three microphone inputs, which can be used
simultaneously:
DYNAMIC - for standard dynamic microphones, 1/4 in.
CONDENSER - for electret or condenser microphones, which require
phantom power (supplied from the amplifier) 3.5 mm
WIRELESS - accepts output from an external wireless microphone
receiver
AUXILIARY
The LINE IN provision is for connecting an external audio source such
as a CD player, tape player, MP3 player or computer sound card This
input also serves as a provision for connecting additional wireless
microphone receivers, audio mixers and other line level audio sources.
Separate VOLUME and TONE control knobs allow flexibility in controlling
the sound quality as well as balancing the auxiliary source with the
microphones.
OUTPUT
The LINE OUT provision may be used for connecting to an input on
a recording device, such as a computer sound card, MP3 recorder,
tape recorder, or similar device. The LINE OUT can also be used for a
number of other applications, such as connecting to a house system, or
connecting to one of our wireless speaker transmitters, for example.
INTERNAL SPEAKERS
Each speaker is angled at approximatey 45 degrees. Working together,
they produce a coverage area of 180 degrees so that those that sit
to the side of the podium will hear the presentation as well as those
in front of the podium. The internal speakers are wired for stereo,
LEFT and RIGHT channel information is reproduced by the appropriate
speaker inside the unit.
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS
Two separately amplified speaker jacks allow you to use one or two
S1201, S1290, or any of our horn speakers for additional sound power.
Note: when using a stereo AUX source with a single speaker, only one
of the stereo channels will be heard. However, all MIC inputs are heard
equally on both channels.
PROBLEM SOLVING
FEEDBACK is the howl or screech often heard in sound reinforcement
systems. It is caused by sound from the loudspeaker returning to the
microphone. AmpliVox systems utilize proven acoustical principles
to minimize this; however, there is no way to completely eliminate
feedback under conditions of high amplification. If feedback occurs
check the following:
1. User’s hand covering the head of the microphone. (Hold microphone
under head slots.)
2. Sound can easily re-enter microphone. Keep loudspeaker turned
toward audience. Note: sound can be reflected from a hard surface
back through the microphone. (Turn speaker.)
3. User holding microphone in a reflecting position. (Turn microphone.)
4. Volume setting too high. (Reduce microphone channel volume;
compensate by speaking louder or closer to the microphone.)

shown.
The 5. MIC CORD has a plug with three small holes in one end, A for
connecting with the microphone, and a ¼ in. male plug on the other
end, B for connecting with the unit on the control panel. Connect
the end with the three holes to the base of the microphone, and
plug the male ¼ in. end of the microphone cord into the jack labeled
DYNAMIC. The microphone has an ON/OFF switch. it should always
be in the OFF position until the main power is ON and you are ready
to speak.
MAIN POWER SWITCH
The 6. MAIN POWER switch is located on the control panel. Flip the
rocker switch to the ON position. The red light next to the switch will
light up showing that the power is on.
DC INPUT

INTERNAL WIRELESS MICROPHONE RECEIVER *SW Model only*
Power ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’; Frequency ‘A’ and ‘B’ switches. Frequency should
match wireless transmitter. The red light above these switches will
come on when the wireless microphone receiver is active. In SW124
models equipped with two receivers, each one has its own power switch
and frequency switch.
WIRELESS MIC SET UP
The VHF wireless microphone system is compact, lightweight and
compatible with all AmpliVox VHF wireless systems. The wireless mic
operates in an authorized VHF band and has a useful range of up to
200-ft. in line-of-sight applications. Each system operates on two crystalcontrolled, switch selectable frequencies for clear clean transmission.
“A” Channel “B” Channel
T6: 171.105 MHz T7: 171.845 MHz
The frequency appears on the back of each unit. Both transmitter and
receiver must have the same, and both units must be set to either “A” or
“B.” Note that two transmitters on the same frequency will not work with
one receiver. However two or more receivers will work with the same
transmitter. Before use, make certain you understand the function and
operation of the system.

POWER SOURCE
The transmitter and receiver are each operated by a 9V alkaline battery.
Before use, install a battery as shown. Make certain the battery is fully
seated in its compartment so the cover slides in place easily. Battery life
with alkaline batteries is approximately 8 hours of operating time. The
receiver also features an external jack for connecting a 9V DC power
supply (not included).

RF INTERFERENCE
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio
services. According to the Federal Communications Commission
regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected
from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any
interference is received by any Government or non-Government
operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation…” If you need
TRANSMITTER OPERATION
If there is a “dead spot” in a room, try a slight change of position or try
changing frequencies. Each unit provides two selectable transmitting
frequencies.
1) Switch the Frequency Selector Switch to the desired channel
(A or B).
2) Belt clip on the back of the unit clips the transmitter onto a belt or
the transmitter simply can be put into a pocket.
3) Plug the microphone into the Mic Input Jack.
4) The microphone can be clipped to a necktie or other clothing, using
the supplied clip.
5) Slide the power ON/OFF switch to
