Doing the soundcheck

Soundcheck

By doing a soundcheck, you can check the reception area for field strength gaps (“dropouts”) which cannot be compensated for by the receiver’s diversity circuitry. You can do the soundcheck without the help of another person.

Switch the transmitter on.

Select the “Soundcheck” menu. The soundcheck is started immediately.

With the transmitter, walk up and down the transmission area.

Press the button on the receiver to terminate the soundcheck and to display the result of the soundcheck. The level displays “RF” and “AF” will indicate the lowest RF and the highest AF level of the received transmitter.

Optimize the RF level by repositioning the receiving antennas.

The audio level should be as high as possible (max. 0 dB) without the level display for audio signal “AF” showing full deflection (see the section “Adjusting the sensitivity“ in the operating manual of the transmitter).

If both receiving antennas are connected and aligned, the diversity displays I and II appear on the display panel.

If no transmitter is being received, the “MUTE” display appears on the display panel.

To do another soundcheck (e.g. with an improved antenna arrangement, another transmitter position or a new transmitter sensitivity), press the

button.
