To set up a wireless microphone, plug the receiver into a mic jack, turn on the receiver and the transmitter, and let the two pair. The Bietrun WXM01 pairs when the blue lights stop flashing, and the TONOR TW620 syncs its frequency automatically. Check the sound, then adjust the volume on the receiver or the mixer.
Plug in the receiver
Plug the receiver into the mic jack on your speaker, voice amplifier, mixer or PA system. The Bietrun WXM01 receiver has a 3.5mm plug, and a 6.35mm adapter comes in the box for amplifiers with a 6.35mm jack. The TONOR TW620 receiver has a 6.35mm plug, and the JOYO MW-2 receiver plugs into the XLR input on a mixer or PA system. The MICVISTA receiver works with a 3.5mm jack or a 6.35mm jack.
Turn on the transmitter and receiver
Turn on the transmitter and the receiver, then wait for the two to pair. On the Bietrun WXM01, the blue light flashes for about 2 seconds and stops flashing when the match succeeds. On the TONOR TW620, the receiver syncs the frequency with the transmitter automatically. On the JOYO MW-2, power on the transmitter first, then the receiver, and pair each transmitter and receiver one at a time.
Mute before you power on or off
Turn the volume down or mute the mixer channel before you turn the transmitter or receiver on or off. The JOYO MW-2 warns that powering on or off without muting can send a loud pop through the PA system, so mute the channel, wait for the power to settle, then unmute and adjust the gain. Keep the transmitter power switch taped to the on position during a performance so it stays on.
Pick a clear channel
If you hear noise or no sound, switch the channel. The Bietrun WXM01 and the TONOR TW620 each have 15 channels, and up to 15 sets can run at the same time. The JOYO MW-2 has 4 channels and supports up to 4 systems at the same time. Check the user manual for the channel switching steps on the Bietrun WXM01.
Charge the batteries before you start
Charge the transmitter and receiver before you start, and carry spare batteries for the mic if it takes them. The Bietrun WXM01 has built-in 400mAh rechargeable batteries that offer about 6 hours of working time, with a full charge in 2.5 hours. The JOYO MW-2 battery gives 6-8 hours on a 2-hour charge. The TONOR TW620 mic takes 2 AA batteries, which are not included.

Frequently asked questions
How far can a wireless microphone reach?
The range depends on the system. The Bietrun WXM01 reaches 160 feet, the TONOR TW620 reaches 200 feet, the JOYO MW-2 reaches 100 feet, and the MICVISTA system reaches 160 feet. The TONOR TW620 range is line of sight, so keep a clear path between the transmitter and the receiver.
Can I use two wireless microphones at once?
Yes. The MICVISTA system pairs two transmitters with one receiver, so two people can speak at the same time. The Bietrun WXM01 and the TONOR TW620 each have 15 channels, and up to 15 sets can run at the same time. The JOYO MW-2 supports up to 4 systems at the same time.
Why is there no sound from my wireless mic?
Check that the receiver sits in a mic jack, not an aux jack, and that the transmitter and receiver are paired. On the Bietrun WXM01, turn off the units, turn on the transmitter, press plus until the blue light flashes, turn on the receiver and wait for the lights to stop flashing. If the sound is missing, switch the channel.
