RWM-ICE: How To Connect w/ A Mixer:

Introduction

In this guide, we will walk you through setting up your Rockville RWM-ICE wireless microphone system with a mixer for expanded sound control. Whether you're using one or two microphones, this setup will help you get the most out of your RWM-ICE system in a mixer-based environment.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Option 1: Using One Channel on the Mixer

1. Connect the Receiver to the Mixer:
   • Use the included 1/4" cable.
   • Plug one end into the 1/4” output on the back of the RWM-ICE receiver.
   • Plug the other end into Channel 1 on the mixer.
2. Adjust Volume on Powered Speakers:
   • Set the volume on your powered speakers to an appropriate level.
3. Set Up the Mixer:
   • On Channel 1, raise the gain and level knobs.
   • If you’re using both microphones, raise the volume knobs for microphone A and microphone B on the receiver.
   • If you're using only one microphone, adjust the volume knob for that microphone.
   • Increase the main mix knob to hear everything coming through the mixer.
4. Test the Microphone:
   • Speak into the microphone (e.g., "Check one, two").
   • You should now hear your voice through the speakers.
5. Troubleshooting (If Needed):
   • If you don't hear the microphones through the speakers, ensure the frequencies for microphone A and microphone B on the receiver match the settings for channels A and B.
   • You can adjust the frequency by:
     • Using the IR SYNC feature with the set button, or
     • Manually adjusting the frequency using the up and down buttons on the receiver next to the microphone volume knobs.

Option 2: Using Two Channels on the Mixer (For More Control)

1. Connect the Receiver to Two Separate Channels:
   • Use two XLR cables (one for each microphone).
   • Plug the female ends of both cables into the Balance Out A and Balance Out B ports on the RWM-ICE receiver.
   • Plug the other ends into Channel 1 and Channel 2 on the mixer.
2. Adjust Volume on Powered Speakers:
   • Set the volume on your powered speakers to the desired level.
3. Set Up the Mixer:
   • Raise the gain and level knobs on Channels 1 and 2 for both microphones.
   • Raise the volume for both microphones A and B on the receiver.
   • Increase the main mix knob on the mixer to ensure both microphones are heard.
4. Test the Microphones:
   • Speak into the microphones (e.g., "Check one, two").
   • Both microphones should now be heard through the speakers.
5. Control the Sound for Each Microphone:
   • This method gives you more flexibility. You can adjust the EQ settings for each microphone separately:
     • Channel 1 will control microphone A, and
     • Channel 2 will control microphone B.

Conclusion

Setting up your Rockville RWM-ICE wireless microphone system with a mixer is a simple process, whether you choose to use a single channel or prefer more control with two separate channels. You can easily adjust the volume, gain, and EQ settings to suit your performance needs.
