AV Equipment Needs:

  1. Two speakers

  2. Two speaker stands

  3. Amp with power cord

  4. Two 1/4in. TRS Speaker Cables

  5. 1 power strip (2 are needed for 5 or more wireless microphones)

  6. Wireless Mic Kits (6 were used in these images)

  7. Gaff tape

  8. Two extra batteries for every microphone. (6 microphones = 12 extra batteries)

Setup:

 

 

Setup:

 

 

Place speaker stands and speakers in desired location.

 

 

Plug one of the 1/4in. TRS Speaker Cables into the back of one of the speakers and run it back to the amp. Do the same thing for the other side.

 

 

Wrap the 1/4in. TRS Speaker Cable around the speaker stands so it is not a tripping hazard. Do the same thing for the other side.

 

 

Use Gaff Tape on any sections of cable that run across walking paths. Do the same thing for the other side.

 

 

Plug the 1/4in TRS Speaker cables into the back of the amp.

Plug the power cord into the amp. Plug in the power cords on the front of the bleachers.

Plug the wireless microphone receiver power cords in on the power strip and the back of each receiver.

 

 

Plug in the yellow XLR cables to the back of the wireless microphone receivers.

Plug the yellow XLR cables into the front of the amp in an order that makes sense to you.

 

 

The bottom row of white knobs above each yellow XLR cable controls the volume. Adjust these as necessary. (If a mic is left “on”, you’ll want to turn the volume up and down as needed for that mic.)

The red knob is the master control for all audio. (In an emergency to reduce feedback, you can turn this down until you figure out which mic needs to be turned down independently.)

 

 

Instructions to speakers:

  1. When it is your turn to speak, turn on the microphone by pushing the black power button.

  2. A green light will appear and you can talk.

  3. Hold the microphone up to your mouth and keep it there while you speak.

  4. When you are finished speaking, shut the microphone off by hitting the power button again.

  5. The green light will turn off when the microphone is off.
