Frequency Coordination
Always perform a frequency scan on your associated G4 receiver before each use, especially in new locations. This helps find the clearest available channel, preventing interference and ensuring reliable audio.
Secure Mounting
Securely attach the transmitter to the base of your boompole. Ensure it’s mounted in a way that doesn’t cause imbalance or introduce handling noise during operation.
Battery Management
The G4 series is known for good battery life, but it’s crucial to monitor battery levels closely. Always have fully charged spare AA batteries readily available to avoid interruptions during crucial takes.
Input Level Setting
Carefully set the input gain on the transmitter to match the output level of your boom microphone. The goal is to achieve a strong signal without clipping or distortion.
Antenna Positioning
While on the boompole, try to ensure the transmitter’s antenna has a clear line of sight to the receiver whenever possible. This maximises signal strength and reliability, particularly during dynamic booming movements.
