KWM1935 & KWM1940
UHF WIRELESS MICROPHONE KITS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
KWM radio mics are ideal for the stage bound vocal performer who needs freedom to roam with a quality of sound you’ll find
hard to beat for the price. The KWM1935 & KWM1940 use 16 UHF channels which comply with all DTI regulations and do not
require a user license. The transmitters also feature low voltage circuitry to help extend battery life and to increase sensitivity.
Sonic performance is enhanced by a built in compressor/limiter and high quality microphone capsules.

USING THE KWM1935 WIRELESS RECEIVER
1. Connect output to your mixer/amplifier, using either a balanced XLR cable or an unbalanced, single conductor 1/4 inch jack plug cable.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the receiver and plug into an appropriate power outlet.
USING THE KWM1940 WIRELESS RECEIVER
1. Connect outputs for channel A & B to your mixer/amplifier, either two balanced XLR cables for dual output or a single unbalanced 1/4 inch jack
plug cable for mixed output of both channels.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the receiver and plug into an appropriate power outlet.
USING THE WIRELESS MICROPHONE TRANSMITTER(S)
1. Slide the mic ON/OFF/STANDBY switch to the ON position.
2. Check the signal indicator is lit on your receiver to see if the radio signal is being received.
3. If the signal indicator is lit, begin singing or speaking.
4. During the performance, slide the ON/OFF/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position when the mic is not being used.
5. When the performance is over, slide the ON/OFF/STANDBY switch to the OFF position to conserve battery power.
SETTING THE FREQUENCY SELECTION SYSTEM
It is important to ensure that the transmitter(s) and receiver are set to operate using the same basic frequency. There are 16 channels available and
each channel has a specific frequency factory assigned to it. Both the KWM1935 & KWM1940 use the same 16 frequencies. The table below shows
the 16 different channels, the frequencies assigned to those channels and the various DIP switch settings used to choose a particular channel.
SET THE TRANSMITTER CHANNEL
1. Open the channel select switch panel.
2. Choose a channel you wish to use.
3. Set the DIP switch according to the CHANNEL/FREQUENCY TABLE below.
When using the KWM1940 you will need to choose and set different channels for each transmitter when using both microphones.
