Your snakebyte Premium Universal Microphones come with a generous cable
length of three meters each. Make sure not to move too excessively while
holding them, anyway. Doing so may damage the wired connections, which
leads to signal loss and renders the microphones inoperable.
Please refer to your game’s manual in order to nd out whether it supports
the simultaneous use of two microphones. In case it does, such as Singstar for
PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3, both inputs (Mic1 & Mic2) are supported. Games
such as Rock Band support only one microphone, which means that only input
Mic1 works. You may use either microphone and connect it to Mic1, though.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter any problems using the snakebyte Premium Universal
Microphones please read this section carefully before contacting our customer
support or your dealer.
GB
1. My Premium Universal Microphones do not seem to work with my
console game at all.
Turn o your console, and disconnect the AC adaptor/power cord. Unplug
the Microphones from the USB adapter and the adapter from the console.
Reconnect the microphones and the USB adapter to the console referring to the
installation instructions above. Reconrm that all connectors are rmly plugged
in and the microphones’ compatibility mode switch is set correctly before the
connection is made. Restart your console and try using the microphones with
your game again.
2. My console game seems to recognise one microphone, i can’t seem to
use the second one.
Please refer to your game’s manual in order to nd out whether the game
supports the simultaneous use of two microphones at all. Singstar for PlayStation
2 and PlayStation 3 support two microphones by default. Games such as Rock
Band or Guitar Hero 4 only support the use of one microphone.
3. My Premium Universal Microphones’ sound is distorted, the quality is
bad.
While singing hold the microphone approximately 5-8 cm from your mouth and
sing directly into the top of the microphone. Keep some distance between the
microphone and the speakers or the TV system in use in order to avoid feedback
(high-pitched sound).
Try to avoid getting moisture from your mouth on the microphone’s membrane
in order not to damage it and ensure the highest possible sound quality.
4. Once the hardware is connected to my console the LED indicator on top
of the USB adapter does not light up.
Make sure the USB adapter and the microphones are connected according to the
installation instructions above.
Also make sure your game sof tware is compatible with the snakebyte Universal
Microphones. Details can be found in the compatibility chart in this manual.

5. While trying to use the snakebyte Premium Universal Microphones
with my PC i can’t seem to install the hardware.
Please make sure the user currently logged into the system has local administrator
rights in order to be authorised to install new hardware.
In case the new hardware is not even recognised, please ensure that the USB
port you’re trying to use is properly installed as well. Try using a dierent USB
port that is conrmed to be fully functional.
