Performing a Soundcheck

1. Speak into Microphone: With both the receiver and transmitter powered on and synced, speak or sing into the PGA31 headset microphone at your typical performance volume.

2. Monitor Audio LED: Observe the Audio LED on the BLX4 receiver. It should illuminate green for normal audio levels. If the LED is consistently red, the input signal is too strong, and you may need to adjust the transmitter gain.

3. Adjust Transmitter Gain (if necessary): If the Audio LED is consistently red, locate the gain adjustment switch inside the BLX1 bodypack transmitter's battery compartment. Use a small screwdriver or pick to adjust the gain to a lower setting until the Audio LED on the receiver primarily shows green with occasional red peaks.

For a visual guide on performing a soundcheck, see the video below:
