MWAH 195: Using the Wired Microphone.

1. Obtain the keys.

MWAH 195 equipment cabinet key may be requested by departments or by faculty teaching in this room.

Classroom keys and building master keys do not open these locks. Departments with faculty or staff needing access to the AV /computer equipment may want to have a key in their department office available for checkout. Or faculty and staff who make frequent use of classroom equipment may want to request a key for their personal use. In either case, a key request card must be completed, signed by the Dean or Department Head, and delivered to Facilities Management Key Shop. "AV Cabinets" must be printed at the top of the card to specify that the requested key is for the equipment cabinet and not for the room itself. A separate key request card for the room must be completed to obtain a room key.

2. Unlock and open the equipment cabinet doors.

The projector controls and other equipment are located in the equipment cabinet in the middle of the second row of seats. Use the equipment key to unlock the cabinet.

Trip the latch on the top of the left hand door of this cabinet to allow it to open.

3. Plug in the microphone.

The microphone is located at the bottom section of the equipment cabinet. Take it out of the cabinet. Plug it into the MIC1 receptacle which is located on the side of the instructor desk which faces the chalkboard.

Then place the other end on you in the position you prefer for your presentation.

4. Turn on and adjust the audio amplifier.

The audio amplifier is located on the wall behind the overhead projector screen. Raise the screen.

Open the door to the amplifier controls.

The audio amplifier is normally left on, and a small red light on the front of the amplifier indicates when it is on. If the red light is not on, press the power button on the amplifier.

Check the audio amplifier volume levels. If the volume for the Wired Mic is not correct adjust the dial on the amplifier labeled Mic1.

The dial on the amplifier labeled Master adjusts the overall volume level of all devices connected to the room audio system. Adjust it up or down as necessary, but be aware that this also adjusts the volume for any other devices that may be connected to the amplifier. It is best to adjust the volume using the Mic1 dial rather than Master.

Set all level controls you will NOT be using to minimum. Then close the amplifier door.

5. When you are finished return the microphone to the equipment cabinet.

Unplug the microphone from the MIC1 receptacle.

Return it to the the bottom section of the equipment cabinet.

6. Close and lock the equipment cabinet doors.

Close and lock the equipment cabinet doors using the equipment key.
