Radio Shack FM Wireless Mic Kit 1969         Realistic Stereo/Mono Mic Mixer 1970

Each device requires one 9-volt battery. Under the proper conditions, a D.C. power supply may provide power for both.

FM Microphone Option: Substitute an audio jack for the mic element, and then connect the mic mixer to the jack.

Mic Mixer Note: A battery may not be necessary - Just turn-on mixer's power switch, and (if need be)
turn up the individual input volume controls up slightly higher than normal.

Xtra, Xtra: The FM Mic's maximum **L E G A L** transmit power was 1/10th of a watt (0.1 watts).
