Wireless microphones

Wireless microphones allow instructors and presenters to use in-room audio features. These microphones and a backup are typically inside the drawer or on the instructor station. Not all classrooms have wireless microphones, but you can compare the types of microphones available in classrooms to find what works best for you.

Using wireless microphones

  1. Locate the microphone.
  2. Remove the microphone from the charging base.
  3. You can carry the microphone or clip the microphone to your clothing. 
    1. We recommend clipping it approximately 3 inches below your chin for best results. 
    2. If you prefer to use a lanyard and none are found in the drawer, email [email protected] to request one.
  4. Press the button on the microphone to mute or unmute.
  5. When finished, return the microphone to the charging base.

Note: The microphones will automatically turn off and emit an alert beep when more than 65 feet from the charging station.

Adjusting wireless microphone volume 

Microphone audio levels are programmed to a set volume to provide a consistent experience. Adjusting the volume on the presentation source or pressing "audio mute" will not affect the microphone volume. To increase or decrease the volume, reposition the microphone on your clothing.

In some rooms, you can adjust microphone audio sensitivity in the touchscreen's sub-menu called "microphones."

Charging wireless microphones

If a wireless microphone needs to be charged, place it back in the charger for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. If both microphones are depleted, put them back in the charger and swap them out as the new charge is depleted. We do not have an extra stock of charged microphones available for immediate use.

Requesting a replacement microphone

If a microphone is broken or missing, call the Classroom Support Hotline (612-625-1086) to dispatch a replacement. There will be a delay while a technician installs the new microphone.
