We have a problem with what sounds like the mic.

We have a problem in our church with what sounds like the mic. cutting out at times then it will work for quite a while then for no reason it will cut out again. I have checked connections can't find any loose wires or wires touching each other can there be some adjustment I need to make. We had a group come in and use the system for a performance and when they left we made some adjustments back to where we had it and things worked great for about 6 months then for no reason that I know of it started acting up again.

There are so many variables with sound systems, sometimes it's hard to isolate the problem. When I have a problem with the sound system at my church I usually try and force the problem again. In my experience it's usually been the cable that will go bad before the microphone. Try moving the cable around at the end where it plugs into the microphone, if you get any crackling or popping it usually means the cable has a short in it somewhere. Another problem I run into pretty often is that the channel on the soundboard is having problems. Try switching channels and see if the problem comes up again.

I also, have a shure microflex 150 condenser mic. We use it at the pulpit of our church for 2 years at least. The mic went dead. I replaced the 185 cartioide cartridge but the mic is still dead. D

It sounds like somebody turned off the phanton power on the mixer. Bring the main volume all the way down and turn it on, that should resolve the problem.

Put new pa speakers in church 2 1000 watt tied 2gether and 2 300 watt. tied 2gether. the pa amp only has 250 watts with 6 mics connected and a cd player which plays fine. every time the mics are used if...

hi,
You have to check the ohms of the speakers all spekers should be 8 Ohms or above. if not it will overload the amplifier at high level. The minium ohms impedence of the amplifier is 4 ohms. If you connect two 8 ohms speakers together then the effective ohms will be 4 OHMS then the amp will handle the speakers. If you connect two 4 ohms spekers together then the effective ohms will be 2 Ohms, this will overload the amplifier. You will be able to connect two 8 ohms speaker to left channel or right channel of the amplifier. Check the speaker spesifiction to know its ohms. Make sure all the speakers have an impedence of 8 OHMS or above
OK

No Sound When Recording

Video camera has built in microphone which is on at all time until you plug in different type of mic then camera is switched to new mic. Audio problem may be on audio head or circuit problem. You can test the system by playing pre-recorded tape to see if it play with the sound and go from there. If it play but does not record sound, you have audio recording problem. If it does not play, I would clean the video head and audio head area good. -James For further assistance, request help at www.camerarepairjapan.com

Popping over the house speakers.

Has it always done this or recently started?
Try to determine if the popping is coming from the words spoken into it, or if you get popping from simply moving the mic and cable around. if you get popping from simple movement, there is a chance that the mic needs to be replaced. We use these in our church, and over the last 6 years I've had to replace about 6 of them...sometimes they go bad in the wire, sometimes inside of the mic. The wires are so thin, excessive use wears them out sometimes. Depending on the model countryman that you are using...I've seen them become disconnected where the mic. meets the wire...some can disconnect here beneath a rubber coupling...if you have this model, make sure that it is properly seated.
If there are no shorts in the mic or cable, and you only hear the popping while speaking into it, you may need to filter out the low end on this channel only (everything below about 120hz - 180hz)...and try using a wind shield to help control this.
Hard to troubleshoot without being there, but I hope this gives you a few good ideas.
