Introduction

The Clear Voice System 96-Channel UHF Wireless Microphone System is

used primarily for sound-ﬁ eld management in classrooms. Its 96 selectable channels allow many

transmitters to be used in close proximity to each other, a situation found often in school or ofﬁ ce

buildings. Even if used in the same room, up to 24 transmitters can be used at one time without

interference.

The system features a professional quality all aluminum case transmitter and receiver with LCD

readouts for instant conﬁ rmation of channel, frequency, and battery status. Both transmitter and

receiver are able to use either rechargeable or standard alkaline batteries and the system includes

a convenient intelligent charging stand.

The CVS96 is easy to use and contains many extended functions most microphone systems do

not have. The transmitter can be used with any standard lapel, headset or collar style microphone.

It also has an optional line level input jack that can be used for its broadcast mode (see below). The

transmitter also contains a level control for volume adjustment. The body pack receiver has both

microphone and line level output jacks. This makes it easy to connect to standard microphone

level inputs or to external audio systems that require line level inputs. The receiver also has a rotary

volume control so the listener can ﬁ ne tune the volume or mute the sound as needed.

In addition to the microphone application the CVS96 supports tour guiding, assisted listening and

broadcasting. Tour guiding is a feature that is used to talk to an individual or a group by use of

a dedicated receiver worn by the listener and a private ear piece. This is especially useful if the

listeners are far away from the presenter, the ambient noise levels are high making it difﬁ cult to

hear, or even if the presenter and listener desire to talk quietly so that others are undisturbed. A

similar situation is called Assisted Listening. In this application, the ear piece is worn by a listener or

student with hearing difﬁ culties. The fourth application is broadcasting. The CVS96 can be used to

broadcast stereo music to a remote speakers or other audio equipment including voice recorders.

The Clear Voice system is “tuned” to the Cetacea Sound Ensemble portable speaker and also the

classroom Astronaut series of speakers. This provides maximum speech recognition by listeners in

voice presentations and maximum listening enjoyment when in the broadcast mode.

1-5 It may be necessary to change the

channel on the transmitter if the receiver

channel is already in use (i.e., if sounds or

static are heard).

If necessary change the channel on the

transmitter. The transmitter has a two-step

channel selection method. First, press the

SET key for ﬁ ve seconds until the channel

indicator ﬂ ashes. Then scroll the channels

by pressing the UP or DOWN keys. Press

the SET key again to ﬁ nish.

Re-verify both transmitter and receiver

are on the same channel.

1-6 Rotate the VOL knob on the receiver

slowly. Stand away from the sound

system as you slowly turn up the volume

on the receiver until a comfortable

listening volume is reached.

1-7 The SENSITIVITY switch on the transmitter

can be used to adjust volume also. It can

also be used to limit volume in cases

where the sound is too loud. Choose

the SENSITIVITY level that best ﬁ ts your

application. Under normal situations it will

work well with MID selected.

NOTE: For best results when using Cetacea Sound Corp speaker systems, plug the receiver

into the Cetacea speaker before the power supply cord is plugged into the speaker. This will

prevent unwarranted and surprising noises. Once the cable is plugged in, the power supply cord

can be plugged in.

System Pre-Test

1-1 Verify that the ON/OFF switch on both

the transmitter & receiver is in the OFF

position.

1-2 Install rechargeable “AA” batteries in

both the transmitter & receiver. If desired,

use high-quality “AA” alkaline batteries

instead. (Batteries included.)

AA BATTERY 1.5V

1-3 Turn ON/OFF switch on both transmitter

receiver to ON. The LED at the top center

of the LCD screen will stay on as long as

the batteries are charged. The light on

the LCD screen will come on and then

turn off after approximately 5 seconds of

non-use.

1-4 Verify channels selected on both

transmitter and receiver are the same. If

not, change channels on the receiver to

match the transmitter by brieﬂ y pressing

the UP or DOWN keys. There may be a

one second delay after pressing these

keys before the channels can be scrolled.

Tips & Tricks

Tip: Preventing Inadvertent Feedback

Once you are comfortable using the CVS96 and the Cetacea Sound speaker, here is a tip that

will help prevent inadvertent feedback. Turn the volume control on the receiver all the way down.

Select the LOW range sensitivity on the Transmitter. Stand in an area of the room where you

will be doing most of your speaking. Have someone help you slowly turn up the volume on the

receiver until feedback is heard or the volume becomes too loud, whichever occurs ﬁ rst. This is

the maximum volume level that can be used in this particular room. Now ONLY use the “MUTE”

switch on the transmitter to turn the microphone down when desired. Leave the volume control

set where it was previously as long as you are in this room.

In the case where the ﬁ rst adjustment is not loud enough, repeat the same procedure with the

sensitivity switch in the MID or HI position.

Tip: Spend time practicing in the area of the room where you will be speaking. Listen for any

unwarranted noise or feedback as you walk the room and avoid those noisy areas that cannot be

eliminated by equipment adjustments.

Tip: Let your presenters and teachers try out a variety of microphone styles by offering a selection

for them to choose from. In our experience, everyone has a preference. Enabling your presenter

with a microphone that suits her style will not only allow for proper presentation skill development

but also ensure the highest quality presentations and lectures.

Do's & Don'ts

Don't attempt any repairs on your own.

Don't pull or in any way fold, crimp or tightly coil the microphone wire.

Don't plug anything into the receiver jacks except the source you were trained on. If using a

computer for recording, be careful! The backs of some sound cards have powered jacks that

can damage your receiver. These types of failures are not covered under warranty.

Don't use alkaline batteries and then place the transmitter or receiver into the charging base.

It could permanently damage the base or other components.

Do educate all users in the proper use and handling of electronic equipment,

especially microphones.

Do have frequent user meetings to discuss issues and concerns.

Do adjust speaker volume to a comfortable listening level. It should not sound

loud to the presenter.

Do loosely coil microphone wires, when not in use.
