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.

 

Q: How to use multiple microphones on one computer?

A: Yes if you want to have a try, check out the link below. Basically, for Windows users, you just need to download an app called voice meter banana. If you use Mac, just create an aggregated device by using MIDI Audio setup.

    Hi @Dr. Yee Wee Chun I thought you have tried with another computer and all kind of different setting, haven’t you? Then is there any improvement when you changing from the lav mic to the head-worn mic? We can tell whether it’s just the mic capsule went wrong and the TX and RX part remain good. At last, how about reset the whole system? Below is tutorial (from 3:10 to 4:00), you can follow suit to give a go.

    The sound recorded from the mic is crackling and sometimes no sound at all. It seems to get worst as the months go by.

    When the receiver is connected to a PC USB port, the level of the receiver headphone jack audio port is not sufficient to drive an external speaker.
    (registered audio level is ok)

    I’ve also tried with the recent 40W iLoud portable speaker https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/iloud/, … no way.

    I’ve also tried with a Y cable to supply more current taken from two different USB port (different hub) , … no way.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you for your support,
    best regards,

    I purchased this microphone because I do talks and I wanted to have output from the computer without an additional set of speakers / amplifier. I have set the microphone as input and the computer speakers as output on my sound settings however I am not getting any output. If I use speakers with the dongle it works.

    Hi @Spencer Bullivant we got the basic situation. And the watt of powered speaker is normally over 15w, which means it can be used for amplifying a mic signal. Two quick questions then, when you speak to lav mic, how many bar you get from the level meter (I think it’s a Windows computer)? Have you tried with the head-worn mic, any difference? Could you use lav mic to record a one-minute MP3 file, with computer input set at 80% and lav mic clipped 4 inches below your chin?
