Listening for a lifetime  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youʼve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now itʼs time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Associationʼs Consumer Electronics  
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets  
the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most  
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to a higher volume of  
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard  
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without  
distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,  
we want you listening for a lifetime.  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and  
the Electronic Industries Associationʼs Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid  
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this  
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future  
reference.  
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from  
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,  
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, v  
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose  
to rain and water.  
2. IMPORTANT: When connecting this product to  
accessories and/or another product use only high  
quality shielded cables. Cable(s) supplied with this  
product MUST be used. Follow all installation  
instructions. Failure to follow instructions could void your  
FCC authorization to use this product in the U.S.A.  
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.  
3. NOTE: This product has been tested and found to  
comply with the requirements listed in FCC Regulations,  
Part 15 for Class "B" digital devices. Compliance with  
these requirements provides a reasonable level of  
assurances that your use of this product in a residential  
environment will not result in harmful interference with  
other electronic devices. This equipment  
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into  
the set, contact your dealer.  
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air  
circulation. Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this

generates/uses radio frequencies and, if not installed  
and used according to the instructions found in the  
owner's manual, may cause interference harmful to the  
operation of other electronic devices. Compliance with  
FCC regulations does not guarantee that interference  
will not occur in all installations. If this product is found  
to be the source of interference, which can be  
determined by turning the unit "Off" and "On", please try  
to eliminate the problem by using one of the following  
measures:  
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When  
moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently  
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to  
other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.  
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents:  
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.  
8. Be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" section on  
common operating errors before concluding that your unit  
is faulty.  
Relocate either this product or the device that is being  
affected by the interference.  
9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when  
the power switch is turned off. We recommend that you  
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not  
going to be used for a long time. This will save electricity  
and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull  
it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Use power outlets that are on different branch (circuit  
breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter(s).  
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient  
the antenna. If the antenna lead-in is 300-ohm ribbon  
lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.  
10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord  
and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.  
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory  
results, please contact your local retailer authorized to  
distribute Vocopro products. If you can not locate the  
appropriate retailer, please contact Vocopro, 1728  
Curtiss Court, La Verne, CA 91750.  
11. The general digital signals may interfere with other  
equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system  
farther away from such equipment if interference is  
observed.

Descriptions and Functions  
 
Receiver Front Panel  
1. Power switch - Turns the receiver unit’s power on and off  
2. Infrared Sensor - This is the built-in infrared sensor. Make sure there is a clear path between the microphones  
and this sensor. For increased signal strength you can add up to two external infrared sensors. See the  
getting connected section for instructions on connecting external infrared sensors.  
3. LED Channel Indicators - Each of these two LED indicators will light up when the corresponding microphone is  
switched on and an infrared connection is made to the IR-9000. The indicator(s) will remain lit as long as the  
infrared connection is maintained.  
4. Microphone Volume controls - Controls the volume for each microphone channel. Turn clockwise to raise the  
microphone volume and counter-clockwise to lower the microphone volume.  
 
Receiver Rear Panel  
1. Mixed Output ¼” jack - Outputs both microphone channels on a single channel using a ¼” microphone cable.  
2. Independent Microphone Output ¼” jacks - Connect each microphone channel independently using a ¼”  
microphone cable.  
3. Infrared Sensor input jacks - Connect up to two external infrared sensors here. The IR-9000 includes one  
external infrared sensor. A second one can be purchased from your VocoPro dealer.

Note: Keep hands away from this part of the microphone, as it may block the  
infrared signal.  
4. Gain Control - Turn this control clockwise to increase the gain output of the  
microphone, turn counter-clockwise to decrease.  
5. Signal Hi/Lo Switch - Use this switch to toggle from a “hi” or “lo” signal strength  
that will give your microphone signal an extra boost if you would like to extend the  
range of the microphone. Note: The high setting will cause more power use and  
drain the battery faster than the low setting.  
Microphone Charger  
1. Charging slots - Place the microphones in these slots to charge.  
2. LED charge indicators - indicate the charge level of each microphone. Red indicates that the microphone is  
charging and green indicates that the microphone is charged.
