Audio Tip
This room has one receiver in addition to the room speakers. Input 2-USB is paired to the room's handheld mic and 3-USB is paired to the room's lavalier mic. Spare batteries should be present if needed and are supplied by physical plant. Please do not touch the channel settings or move equipment from designated room. Usage steps follow below:
Turn on the room's AV system using the control panel.
Turn on the microphone(s).
Each microphone is already configured to their correct audio group/channels to be received by the A/V system so all that need to be touched is the on/off switch on the microphone after ensuring the AV system is turned on.
By design, the microphones will only become live after the AV system is turned on.
