Speaker Set-Up DIVERSITY WIRELESS BY ANCHOR AUDIO Anchor Audio UHF wireless is a 16 channel, diversity wireless system that receives signals with two independent antennae. With diversity wireless the receiver processes the stronger signal, effectively minimizing dropouts and interference from other transmitting sources. The antennae are mounted internally so there are no obstructions or risk of damage. CHANNEL SELECTION - BUILT-IN RECEIVER Select a channel, set the built-in receiver & microphone transmitter to that channel before using your wireless system. 1. Choose any available wireless channel/ frequency from 1 thru 16 (see page 5 for transmitter instructions) 2. Set the Wireless Channel Selector Knob to the channel/ frequency you choose in step 1 3. Make sure volume is turned up on both front & back! If you have two wireless receivers repeat above for the second receiver. Remember, each receiver/transmitter pair must be set to different channels to avoid interference CONTROLLING FEEDBACK Feedback, a howling noise or shrill sound, is self-generated by the sound system. It’s caused by a microphone picking up the sound coming from the speaker and then re-amplifying it. Once a feedback loop starts, it continues until the system is adjusted. AVOIDING & ELIMINATING FEEDBACK • Point microphone in a different direction • Keep microphone away from the speaker • Place speaker in FRONT of the microphone • Reduce the sound system volume levels CAUTION: Feedback can damage your equipment & may be hazardous to hearing. FEEDBACK CAUSES Microphone too close, pointing towards or in front of speaker Volume setting is too loud for room Sound reflecting off hard surfaces

Troubleshooting There are two volume controls: one on the front of the speaker – and one on the rear. Make sure they are both turned up

Wiley Speaker System (large) Fishman SA220 Setting SA220 Controls 1-Plug the provided AC line cord into the back of the amplifier. 2-Locate the Power switch and switch it off, then connect the power cord. 3-Push in the Mute switch and turn on the Power switch. You should see the front panel power LED glow green. 4-Connect your instrument to the Channel 1 input with a shielded 1/4-inch cable. 5-Speak aggressively and loud and raise the Channel 1 Gain knob until the Clip LED flashes, then back off the Gain until no clipping occurs. (note: no sound will come out) 6-Push the Mute switch (out) 7-slowly raise the Master Volume to the desired level. (note you will hear 3 7 6 5 1 4 2

Troubleshooting About Acoustic Feedback There are two features provided to help control acoustic feedback, the Phase switch and the Anti-Feedback notch control. Feedback usually occurs in the lowest octaves of your microphone. The natural resonances which produce a tone also react with amplified sound. The louder an a person is amplified, the more it will interact. Feedback occurs when a note on the microphone resonates in sync with the amplified sound, reinforcing and building to a sustained howl. Phase Switch –The Phase switch flips the polarity of your microphone signal from positive to negative, changing its relationship to the sound coming from the amplifier. One phase setting usually provides better resistance to feedback than the other and will vary depending on the microphone, the persons voice, and playing environment. Another approach to determining optimal phase is the selection which sounds or feels most natural when speaking. In certain speaking environments the Phase switch may not have an audible impact. When not using the Phase switch for feedback suppression, it is recommended to leave it in the out (+) position. Anti-Feedback -The Anti-Feedback control is a variable frequency notch filter designed to subdue a resonant peak on the speaking person which is prone to feedback. Turning the knob adjusts the center frequency of the filter, ranging from subsonic (off) to 330Hz at full clockwise. When not being used for feedback, the Anti-Feedback notch can also be used as a tone control to subdue an unpleasant frequency in a microphone or room. Play a note which accentuates the offending frequency and turn the control until the intensity is diminished.

Troubleshooting Cont. Setting Phase and Anti-Feedback The Phase and Anti-feedback controls can be used to restrict the two most dominant feedback notes, allowing greater volume before feedback than otherwise possible. In most cases, the Phase switch is used to control the lower dominant note while the Anti-Feedback notch is used to control the higher. 8. Start with the Anti-Feedback control turned down completely. 9. Turn up the level of the amp until feedback begins. 10. Flip between the two Phase positions. Each position will produce a different dominant feedback frequency. Listen to the frequencies and select the Phase position which allows the higher note to feedback while subduing the lower. 11. Adjust the Ant-Feedback clockwise until it subdues the frequency of the higher feedback note. Since optimal tone is a matter of taste, one can also experiment with reversing the order, using the Phase switch to control the upper feedback note and the Anti-Feedback notch for the lower. 9 10 11 8
