Cello wireless microphone. Why doesn't it work?

What does the receiver go into ?
a pre amp mixer ?
What are the volume levels set at on the mixer for the receiver input ?
Also check if the pre amp goes into another amplifier that the volume setting on the final amplifier device if used have not been turned down.
Bet someone has fiddled with these settings of volumes !

Hi Peter, has this issue been resolved? I am having the same problem at the moment.

update drivers for sound card

There are many things that can cause bad sound in a wireless system. I suggest calling Shure at 847-600-8440. Their Applications group can help you troubleshoot the problem. Have the wireless system with you when you call them.

You need power from the transmitter to power this mic. See your mics specs to determine if it needs "Phantom Power"
Perhaps the transmitter doesn't supply power. Condenser mics may not work. Stay with the dynamic type. IMHO

Button must be held down for about a minute after lighting pilot, if it still doesn`t stay light sounds like the thermocouple is bad. Looks like a skinny copper wire runs from the pilot light valve to pilot light flame, can be purchased at any hardware store for $5 or $10.

Hi,

Please check if the gain in the microphone is open.
Ther's a little hole where you can adjust the gain.

Good luck,
Gerard

check the battery, if dead replace new. check the switch might be a cold solder or loose wire and finally check the condenser mic by placing a multitester to the two connectors of the mic with one wire from the mic desoldered. if there's a continuity, then its good. if there's no continuity the mic condenser is busted. go to radioshack and find replacement mic condenser.

I found your site confusing. If you had read my post, you would have noticed that my problem referred to a 15" flat screen 'CELLO' .TV/DVD combo. I had sound but no picture. When switched on, the screen lit up and the word CELLO appeared then the sreen went black

look and see if the RF light is coming on, if it is not then the transmitter (mic) is not on the same frequency as the receiver.
