Q: The mic does not work!

A: Follow the video below to check if USB receiver is recognized by computer and if receiver and transmitter paired. If not, just follow the tutorial to change frequencies (from 2:50 to 3:07) and reset the whole system (from 3:10 to 4:00). 

 

Q: Does K031/K031B wireless lapel mic work with phones?

A: Yes, it does. But you need a USB type A to type C or lightening adapter and we have confirmed that it works with: Samsung S and Note series of 7/8/9, iPhone 5-8, XS MAX, Sony Z series, Goolge Pixel 2 and Huawei Mate and P 20. If you are using model that is not listed above, as long as the released date of your phone is similar to those mentioned models, the mic should still work.

 

Q: Will this work with a Bluetooth speaker?

A: In order to give adequate sound, that Bluetooth speaker should be more than 25 watt you can find a power bank to supply power for receiver and an audio cable to connect USB receiver with speaker.

 

Q: What can I do to increase volume?

A: 1.Turn up the level of input and output to around 80% on computer.

Windows: Go to control panel→Sound setting→Recording Device→right click “USB PnP Device”→Properties→Levels. Same goes for output volume on "Playback Devices".

Mac: System Preferences→Sound→Input/Output→Input Volume/Output Volume

2.Do have to aim the mic toward the mouth, seating it approximately 9 inches below. When using head-worn, you may need to take off the foam cap to check if the capsule is pointed directly to your mouth.

3.If it is possible, please try the speaker that has over 25 watt power.

    My microphone pack just turns off as soon as I turn it on. It’s not the batteries. I replaced them with new batteries and it’s showing a full battery indication. The orange light comes on but then it flashes to say OFF and turns off within a few seconds – no matter what I do. I can’t even keep it on long enough to reset it. I’m not sure what the issue is. Please help!

    Hi sven.
    According to what you said, the K031B is highly recommended. Here is the website below.
    It is the USB plug&play microphone, which means it doesn’t need extra software. Also it can work with Zoom, Skype.

    Hi! I just received my new mic and am in the process of setting it up. I’ve got 2 questions so far.
    1. To find the channel you want, the set button on top of the body pack advances the numbers, but how do you go backwards to a new number?
    2. What kind of audio software do you need on your computer for playback or editing? I don’t have anything like what appears on the middle of pg. 12 of the User’s Guide. Do I need to find software and download it? If so, what kind is most economical and user friendly?
    Thank you!
