Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, RF Receiver Input

1.13.2 INPUT 1 (9)

INPUT 1 is an electrically balanced XLR / TRS combo jack (9). The input level sensitivity can be set with the 3-position selector switch (10) to:

Line	( 0 dBu)
AUX	(-25 dBu)
MIC	(-45 dBu)

12 V phantom power is supplied to INPUT 1 when the input selector switch is in the MIC or AUX position. Condenser microphones (requiring phantom power) should be connected to INPUT 1.

Warning! Connect unbalanced microphones or any other equipment that has an unbalanced connector (e.g. ¼ in. mono phone plug) to INPUT 2 (unless INPUT 1 will ONLY be used in the LINE position). INPUT 1 has phantom power in the MIC or AUX positions and this may cause permanent damage to an unbalanced microphone when an unbalanced connector is used.

The output volume can be adjusted using the VOLUME 1 control (11).

1.13.3 INPUT 2 (12)

INPUT 2 is a transformer balanced XLR / TRS combo jack (12). The input level sensitivity can be set with the 3-position selector switch (13) to::

Line	( +6dBu)
AUX	(-25 dBu)
MIC	(-65 dBu)

The MIC (-65 dBu) position is ideal for distant-miking set-ups with dynamic mics (see section 2.1). The LINE (+6 dBu) position is ideal for balanced signals from pro audio sources or feed- signals from an OB Van.

The output volume can be adjusted using the VOLUME 2 control (14).

1.13.4 INPUT 3 (15)

INPUT 3 is a pair of unbalanced RCA jacks (15). Line-level (0 dBu sensitivity) stereo signals (e.g. from a CD player, Mini Disc player, cassette player, etc.) can be connected and the left and right inputs will be summed to produce a mono signal.

The output volume can be adjusted using the VOLUME 3 control (16).

1.13.5 RF Receiver Input (17)

RF receivers (optional) for wireless microphones can be user-installed in the side compartment of the freePORT PAS 400. Please refer to the separate instructions for installation and connection of the receivers to the PAS 400. The PAS 400 can accommodate the following combinations of RF receivers:

yUp to 4 Sennheiser Evolution Bodypacks, or

y1 Sennheiser Evolution Diversity + 2 Sennheiser Evolution Bodypacks

The individual volume controls for the Evolution Bodypacks will be accessible after they are installed, however, the volume level for the Evolution Diversity receiver has to be pre- adjusted before it is installed.

The overall output volume can be adjusted using the RF-RECEIVER VOLUME control (17), which functions as a master volume control for all of the RF receivers that are installed.
