DMS

7004 Setting Up

•Prior to using your DMS 700, make certain that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency.

Inserting Batteries	1.	Open the battery compartment cover (9).
into the Transmitter	2.	Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment, aligning the battery according to the
		polarity symbols. If you insert the battery the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
	3.	Close the battery compartment cover (9).
Connecting Antennas
	The supplied ¼-wave antennas can be mounted quickly and easily and are suitable for applications
	where a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver antenna is available.

Remote Antennas • You should use remote-mounted antennas if the receiver’s position doesn’t allow the best re- ception.

-Connect the remote antennas to the BNC sockets (14, 15) on the receiver rear panel.

-Use RG58 cable to connect the antennas.

•Use the BNC extension cable (AKG part #0110E01890) for mounting the ¼-wave antennas on the front panel (13).

Signal reflections off metal objects, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other people may weaken or block the direct transmitted signal.

For best results, place the receiver or remote antennas as follows:

•Place the receiver/antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the transmitter won’t be used within 10 ft (3 m) of the receiver.Optimum separation is at least 16 ft. (5 m). Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter.Shadow effects caused by people or objects can disrupt the radio link.

•Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (~1.5 m) away from any large metal objects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.

•You can use the receiver either free-standing or mounted in a 19" equipment rack.

•If you install one or more receivers into a 19" rack, either mount the supplied antennas on the receiver front panel(s) or use remote antennas. This is the only way to ensure optimum recep- tion quality.

You can connect the receiver’stwo analog XLR (17, 20) and two analog ¼”/6.3mm jack (18, 21) out- puts at any time. Use the receiver’s AUDIO Menu to adjust the output level as needed.

• Connect the audio output to the desired input:

a)BALANCED XLR-output - microphone input: set the output level switch to "-30 dB".

b)BALANCED XLR-output - line input: set the output level switch to "0 dB".

c)UNBALANCED 1/4” output - unbalanced 1/4" microphone or line input jack.

•Use the AES-EBU digital balanced XLR (24) output to feed the audio signals of both receivers to an AES-EBU digital input.

The built-in Wordclock generator supports a sampling rate of 48 kHz. You can connect an ex- ternal 48 kHz clock generator to the Wordclock IN (23) BNC socket to synchronize all your digi- tal signals.
