Why Do Wireless Receivers Not Need A Volume Control?
1. The Pitfalls of Having a Volume Control: Conventional wireless microphone receivers are equipped with a volume control on the control panel for adjusting the output volume, just like a radio receiver. However, a wireless microphone receiver is much more complex to properly adjust than a radio. If not set up carefully according to the recommendations in the user’s guide, it can easily put out a distorted or weak signal and appear to be not operating properly. The fault appears to be in the equipment when it is actually operator-error that is causing the problem. 2. The Ideal System for Optimum Wireless Reception: Mixers and amplifiers have both “LINE IN” and “MIC IN” input jacks. The “LINE IN” input jacks are used for connecting radio tuners, cassette recorder/players, CD players, etc. to the system while “MIC IN” inputs are used for all microphones. The input characteristics of the “MIC IN” jacks are designed and based on the dynamic microphone’s sensitivity and dynamic range. Conne
