Microphones and Instruments used with Body Packs
Unlike Handheld Microphones, multiple types of different microphones and instruments can be used with Body Pack Transmitters (refer to images below). Some of the most common are Headsets, Headworn, Lavalier, and Clip-On microphones (commonly used with Violins, Mandolins, Tuba, etc.). Acoustic Electric Guitars can also be connected directly to a Body Pack using an adapter cable (see example below).
Instruments (Guitar Example)
The diagram below shows how you would connect a Guitar (usually Acoustic/Electric guitars) that have a built-in Pre-Amp to a wireless Body Pack Transmitter.
All that’s needed is to plug the TS connector into your Acoustic Electric Guitar (which has a pre-amp) and then plug the TA4F connector into the Body Pack. Make sure the Frequency of the Body Pack is Synced with the Receiver, Clip on the Body Pack, set levels on the body pack and the mixing board, and start playing.
