8-Channel 900 MHz Wireless Receiver
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your RadioShack 8-Channel 900 MHz Wire­less Receiver is designed for use as a univer­sal microphone receiver for public address microphones or for professional music perfor­mances. The system’s long range (200 feet), UHF operation (910–921.5 MHz), and low dis­tortion (2.0%) let you use it anywhere you would use a conventional microphone, and is perfect for use with the RadioShack 8-Channel 900 MHz Wireless Microphone (RadioShack Cat. No. 32-1251). The microphone receiver has both LINE and MIC le vel outputs for easy connection to any amplifier, mixing board, or recorder. Plus, you can use both outputs at the same time. The receiver ’s volume control lets you easily balance the microphone’s out­puts with other sound sources.
