The Sony UTX-B2K42 wireless lapel microphone can be used in certain non-central UQ teaching spaces.

Most central lecture theatres provide Shure wireless microphones at the lectern. If a teaching space has Shure wireless microphones or a CRESTRON touch panel at the lectern, you will not be able to use Sony wireless microphones in this space.

Instructions for non-central lecture theatres with an AMX touch panel AV control system

If the lecture theatre has Shure wireless microphones or a CRESTRON touch panel at the lectern, you will not be able to use Sony wireless microphones in this space.

To use the UTX-B2K42 microphone in a non-central lecture theatre:

  1. Use the power switch to turn the device OFF.
  2. Make sure that the Mic/Line switch is set to MIC.
  3. Press and hold SET, then turn the microphone ON.
  4. Once you see characters flashing on the microphone’s display, release SET.
  5. Keep pressing SET until you see 'PO:H' or 'PO:L' flashing on the display. This is the power level setting.
  6. Use the adjustment buttons to change the power level to H, then press SET.
  7. You should see a series of numbers on the display, separated by a dot or a space. The first set of numbers should be flashing. This shows the channel the microphone is transmitting to.
    • Use the adjustment buttons to set the first two numbers (the channel group) to 00, then press SET.
    • Use the adjustment buttons again to set the room’s channel, then press SET.

    The channel for the UQ lecture theatre should be displayed on a red volume fader on the audiovisual touch-panel display, and also on a sticker above the touch panel. See Radio microphone channels for a list of UQ teaching rooms and wireless microphone channels.

  8. Press SET twice. You should see ‘ATT - 00’ on the screen, followed by a flashing two-digit number.
  9. Use the adjustment buttons to set this number to 00, then press SET.
  10. Turn the microphone OFF then ON again. The microphone will then turn on with the correct settings.
  11. Turn on the room’s audiovisual system, then use the red 'RADIO MIC' volume fader to mute or adjust the microphone’s volume level.
