Using the TOA AM - 1WMK2 is a breeze. First, connect it to the 24V DC power source from the control unit. Then, use the appropriate cables to link it to your audio system via the analog line output. Position the microphone within 20 feet of where you expect the speakers to be for optimal voice capture. You can adjust the output level using the output level switch according to your needs.
When it comes to the mute function, you can use the mechanical mute switch on the device. The LED indicator will show green when it's on and red when it's muted. If you want, you can disable this switch through an iPad app or a browser.
For maintenance, keep the microphone in a dry and clean environment. Regularly check the cables for any signs of damage. If the microphone has been exposed to dust, you can gently clean the punched net with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the surface finish. Also, make sure not to exceed the maximum cable length of 70 meters to ensure proper audio quality.
