TRANTEC S4.4 Wireless mic Video 3

0:01 This is known as the S4.4

Alright folks, in my wacky style, another video, video number three on this wireless microphone from a company called Trantec. Now this is known as the S4.4. It is a UHF microphone which is short for ultra high frequency. Now in this video, what I'm trying to do is in a sense imagine we're in an environment where there's loads of walls, pillars etc. So let's say for example... You're in a nightclub and you've got to go the other side of the nightclub, but there's a few walls, pillars in front of you, loads of people etc. So in other words, there's lots of obstacles in your way. What I'm going to do, turn the microphone on, I'm going to walk all the way to the other end of the house and see if we can still hear the speaker or the sound through the speaker. Now one very important thing, I can't turn the speaker up now because if I do while the microphone's on, there's a very good chance I'll get...

Feedback. Now there's two main reasons for getting feedback. One is that your microphone is too close to the speaker, or alternatively, the speaker or the gain on the mixer is turned up too much. And if you've never heard of feedback before, that's when you get that horrible whistley sound and if the speakers are too loud, it's very loud. And if I did that right now, I'd possibly lose my hearing and blood would be squirting out of my ears and it would look disgusting and there'd be red stuff and I'd be going like that. Which I don't really want to do. So no, I'm fine, don't worry about it. Right, okay. Oh dear, you want to try living with me. Right, what I'm going to do is I'm going to turn that gain control up very slightly. I'm going to turn the microphone on. If you can see underneath there, there's a little switch. I'm going to just move that across to there.

1:49 I'll just turn that around like that

Like that. There we go. And we can hear me now. I'll just turn that around like that. One, two, one, two, testicles, one, three, one, three, testicles, one, three. There you go. Right, so what I'm going to do now is... Sorry, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to... What I'm going to do is I'm going to turn the microphone off and then turn the gain up on the mixer. So in other words, when I walk away, the speak will be a lot louder, so enabling you to hear it through the... Microphone on the camera, excuse me. Right, so let's turn that off there and I'm now going to turn that up quite considerably. If I turned the microphone on now we would get that exceedingly large whistling sound, you would see blood squirting out of my ears and this video probably wouldn't be on the internet. Mind you it'd be a good laugh to put it on. Some people like blood.

3:15 One, two, three, four

Alright, so let's just walk through the house. We're going down the stairs and go into the kitchen. I'm not going to turn it on just yet. Right, I'm going to turn it on now. In fact, where is it? Right, there you go. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. That's not bad actually. 1, 2, 3, 4. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. I don't know if you can hear that little echo. That isn't me. That's coming from the speaker. Hello? Hello? Right, well hold on. Right, try this. Here we go. What I'm going to do, I'm going to put the microphone and the camera on the cooker. There. Now, admittedly, I didn't go a great distance. from the receiver. Bearing in mind this is the transmitter, of course that little box up there is a receiver. But in a sense I suppose what this video does prove is that with lots of obstacles in the way, now bearing in mind we do live in an old house so the walls aren't really paper thin with a lot of houses they're about 55,000 million foot thick and made of brick. So not bad actually. Right, video number three on this guy here from Trantec and I'll put a lickable clink in the description.

Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
