So you’ve hired our MiPro portable PA system from us. What’s included and how do you set it up?
TIP: Either test your setup at home, or arrive with enough time for you to familiarise yourself with the system and get it ready before it’s needed (30 minutes would be a great guide)
The PA system is stored inside a large bag labelled “MiPro” with all the accessories in the side zippers and with a speaker stand that has green tape on it’s edges.
These are all the accessories you’ll find with the PA system. NOTE please check everything as we will ask you to send through a photo of it all at the end of the hire.
video instructions
We have a little video on how to put it all together right here.
We then have a video on how to operate the PA system right here.
If you’d prefer not to watch the videos or are in a loud environment at the time the below images and descriptions should help you setup the MiPro.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON, MASTER & MICROPHONE VOLUME
The photo below shows the power switch (red) the master volume (purple) and the microphone volumes (blue). You’ll need the master volume up to get any sound out of the other volume knobs - typically about 2/3 to 3/4 the way around works best. The mic volumes are a little more sensitve.
MICROPHONES
The most asked question is where are the microphones? They are stored in the top of the speaker. The microphones have a simple switch on them - they’ll take about 1 second to be ‘live’ when you clip it up and they have a battery signal on them. If you have more than 2 bars of battery you’re good for an hour or two. If you have less, just swap for a fresh battery DONT PUT THE OLD BATTERY BACK IN - KEEP IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE OR CHUCK IT. If you use the last fresh batteries please send us an email
CONNECTING A DEVICE
There are two leads for connecting devices. Both have 1/2 inch (6.5mm) connections for the PA system side and the option of 1/4 inch (3.5mm, small headphone jack), lighting cable (old iphone) and USB C connections on the device side. They go into the line in section of the PA system. The 3rd and 4th photo shows where you plug this in and where you adjust the volume for the PA.
WIRED MICROPHONE
If you’ve brought along or hired a wired microphone from us. Here’s how you can plug it in and operate it.
At the end of the hire please return the PA in it’s entirety with all accessories to where you found it. It if was plugged in and charging make sure you put the charging cable back in the bag.
Send us a photo to 0401 193 231 of the PA system back in place and another one of all of the accessories laid out like the first photo up the top of this post. If you fail to do this and something is missing you will be charged for their replacement
If you have any questions give Rupert a call on 0412 024 012. - preferably PRIOR to turning up on the day with no idea how to setup.
