INTRODUCTION The MX692 wireless boundary microphone is for use in a variety of boardroom, education, government, and house of worship applications that require a clean, cable-free installation. Ad- ditionally, the MX692 is useful in retrofit installations where the modification of existing architec- ture and furnishings is unwelcome, and in facilities where a flexible, mobile audio system is required. The user-programmable mute switch and interchangeable microphone cartridges allow cus- tomizati

POSITIONING THE MICROPHONE With the standard cardioid cartridge installed, the MX692 will pick up audio at conversational volume levels within 1.5 M (5 ft.) in a 130 degree range. As a general rule, a single microphone should be used for every two people speaking. If a tighter pickup range is required, a supercardioid cartridge may be used. 130° < 1.5M (5 FT.) English – 7

POSITIONING MULTIPLE MICROPHONES In any installation, good vocal pickup can be achieved by following the positioning rules on page 7. Maintain at least .3 m (1 ft.) separation between transmitters. If you experience transmitter interfer- ence, increase the distance between transmitters, or change the channel of one transmitter/receiver pair. For information on receiver setup and positioning, see the UC4 Wireless System user guide. English – 8
