   • Raise the input volume and master volume on the speaker so you can hear the microphones.
5. Adjust Microphone Volume
   • Remove the end cover from each microphone to access the volume buttons.
   • Use the plus and minus buttons to set the microphone volume.
   • To avoid clipping or distortion, set the microphone volume between 3 and 5.
6. Explore Additional Microphone Settings (Optional)
   • Press the set button on the microphone to access settings such as Echo, EQ, and RF.
   • Adjust these settings as needed for your environment.
7. Test the System
