RF LEDs

Illuminate to indicate a signal is being received. The mute LED lights up if the signal is lost or the squelch is active.

Antennas

The folding antennas are mounted on the front panel of the SR 40 diversity, making for easier rack installation.

On/Off switch

AF LEDs

Green indicates optimal input signal strength. The Peak LED will come on when the input level is too high.

SR 40 diversity Receiver

Case

Alternative receivers

As alternatives you can also choose between the SR 40 receiver and the PR 40 portable receiver.

Diversity LEDs

Indicate which of the two diversi- ty antennas is active at any time.

Frequency color coding

Receivers using the same fre- quency are marked with the same color code.

1 U half-rack case for convenient, space-saving rack installation.

Volume

Lets you match the output level to the input sensi- tivity of the mixing desk and the related gain structure (see explanation on page 27).

Several types of XLR modules

These modules with XLR connectors allow you to use your micro- phone with a cable. Gold plated contacts ensure maximum relia- bility. The XLR modules for the D 880M, D 3700M and D 3800M dynamic microphones are available with or without an on/off switch. The XLR module for the C 900M condenser comes with no switch, while the XLR module for the C 5900M provides dip swit- ches for bass rolloff and presence boost. This enables you to switch from wireless to hardwire modes in a matter of seconds.
