How to Setup A Wireless System Properly

You will feel more like it for setup a wireless system after paying a bit more attention to six things.   

1.Power issue

Low voltage brings up problem, like cutouts, dropouts or distortion. Lithium-ion batteries outlast Ni-Mh and Ni-Cad ones. Because of up to 20% less voltage output, rechargeable battery is far from ideal option as it seems to be. So if budget allows, one-time use lithium-ion battery is the best choice for battery power transmitter and receiver.

If receiver is wall-outlet powered, try with the same type or equivalent electrical specifications, like plugging the power adapter into another wall outlet. Even the problem could lie in the adapter itself. By the time when a new outlet does no good, you may need to test with another power adapter. And do not forget to press the power button and turn up volume.

2.Antenna placement issue

Metal object, human body have impact (block, absorb or interfere) on wireless signal. So it is better to always keep antennas of transmitter and receiver line-of-sight.    

3.Audio cable issue

Static or even cutout could result from poor connection. If re-connection does not help, try disconnecting the audio cable and use another included cable to see if the new one is OK. If using a FIFINE K037B or K038 body-pack transmitter, replace the attached lapel mic or head-worn mic with the same model and test if there’s any issue.

4.Mis-match frequency channel

If the FIFINE microphone (transmitter) and receiver keep failing to sync. Apart from the check-up we would mention below, first of, go check the number labels on your the transmitter and receiver if they match exactly.

5.Frequency channel is not ideal for the location

If experiencing cutout/auto-disconnection or setting up the system in a new location, use the feature of selectable frequency channel of FIFINE wireless system to find a channel that suffers less interference from local TV or broadcast channel.

6.Interference from other electronics or wireless systems

Turn off electronic devices that are within 5 feet of the wireless receiver, such as a computer and especially a router. Or take the system to a different location that is at least ½ mile away. If it works OK there, the problem lies in the interference from other devices. Finding the exact source may take you a bit of time by turning them off one by one and do the test at a time.

    Yes I’ve made sure the batteries were inserted correctly. I’ve also tried multiple new batteries pairs.

    Hi there James.
    Um. It’s may sound super silly, and I apologize for asking the question, but would you like to check if the polarity of the batteries on microphone is at right position?
    If the answer is yes, plz contact us via email with your order number.

    Hi, i have the M-K038 system with two microphones. Both receivers have suddenly stopped turning on. I’ve replaced batteries in both but neither display will turn on.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Robert.
    There is nothing to do with the pairing. The Macbook can identify the mic, which shows the mic works. I think It is probably about the input/output config. Besides, the Macbook needs the built-in app of Mac – QuickTime Player if you want to monitor.
    Therefore, here’re the all three steps you need to follow.
    1. The external speaker connect the K031 USB headphone jack.
    2. Choose the USB Pnp as the default output device.
    3. Open the QuickTime Player, choose the K031 as the input device, turn up the volume, and you will hear the sound.
