Wireless MicrophoneECM-W3 / ECM-W3S Help Guide

Pressing and holding the SAFETY button for about 2 seconds lights the SAFETY lamp in yellow to indicate that the receiver is in SAFETY mode.

While the receiver is in SAFETY mode, audio recordings are made with the 20 dB reduced channel gain to suppress audio distortion at loud volume levels.

On ECM-W3

While the receiver is in SAFETY mode, the channel gain may be reduced depending on the number of microphones in use or the mode switch setting.

• When two microphones are in use:

  • Mode switch setting: MIX

    Audio recordings are made with mixed audio from the two microphones while the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged.

  • Mode switch setting: SEP

    SAFETY mode is disabled.

    Hint

    • While MIX is selected by the mode switch and the receiver is in SAFETY mode, selecting SEP with the mode switch causes the SAFETY lamp to blink in yellow and then go out, and the receiver automatically comes out of SAFETY mode.

• When one microphone is in use:

  • Mode switch setting: MIX

    Regardless of whether the microphone No. 1 or No. 2 is in use, the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged for audio recording.

  • Mode switch setting: SEP

    When the microphone No. 1 is in use, the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged for audio recording.

    When the microphone No. 2 is in use, the right channel gain is kept unchanged and the left channel gain is reduced by 20 dB for audio recording.

    Hint

    • While a single microphone is in use, SEP is selected by the mode switch, and the receiver is in SAFETY mode, connecting another microphone to the receiver causes the SAFETY lamp to blink in yellow, and the receiver automatically comes out of SAFETY mode.
