The close control 


The next step is to manage your microphones unless you are only using the lectern mic.

The Mic control

As below:

You collect mics from their charging stations. To do so. Exit the auditorium using the door out of the auditorium on
the left hand side. Use the door opposite, where you will find the mics. You will need to obtain a fob from the Porter's Lodge to gain access.

Lapel Mics

After use. Please return the mic(s) so they recharge for the next users. Thank you.

The handheld and lapel mics have a mute button. Best practice is to keep your mic muted
until you are ready to begin. Especially, if the event is being recorded. The lapel mic should be placed
in a convenient position as it hangs from its strap about 30cm (the length of a ruler) below your head.

Once you are happy with the positioning you can set the volume.

Back at the Touchscreen with your mic(s), choose Mic Control. You will see this:




Here you are able to alter the volume of the various mics as you wish. After adjusting the handheld mics click the More button
to repeat the exercise with your lapel mics if you are using them:
