II PART II: PR 81 RECEIVER
2.6Connecting To connect a pair of headphones to the receiver, you will need an optional MK HP
Headphones adapter cable from AKG. This cable provides a mini XLR connector and a TS mini
jack for connecting headphones with a mini jack plug.
Important: In order to avoid overloading the headphone amplifier, do not connect headphones with an impedance of less than 16 Ω to the headphone out- put.
1.Plug the mini XLR connector on the adapter cable into the AUDIO OUT jack (1r) on the receiver.
2.Connect the headphones to the mini jack on the adapter cable.
3.Use the rotary control (1e) to set the volume level for the headphones.
2.7Connecting to a The optional MK HP/C Y cable from AKG lets you connect the receiver to a cam-
Camera and corder or mixing console and monitor the received signal using headphones with
Headphones | a mini jack plug. |
Important: In order to avoid overloading the headphone amplifier, do not connect headphones with an impedance of less than 16 Ω to the headphone out- put.
1.Plug the mini XLR connector on the Y cable into the AUDIO OUT jack (1r) on the receiver.
2.Plug the XLR connector on the Y cable into the desired XLR input jack on the camcorder or mixing console.
3.Connect the headphones to the mini jack on the Y cable.
4.Use the rotary control (1e) to set the volume level for the headphones. The line output level is not adjustable.
2.8Aligning the For optimum reception, point each antenna (1g) away from the receiver at an
Antennas angle of 45 degrees. With the antennas aligned like this, the diversity function will operate optimally and prevent disturbances such as noise or dropouts most efficiently.
If you wear the receiver on the belt it makes no difference whether you point the antennas (1g) up or down as long as you align them in a "V" as described above. If you mount the receiver on a camcorder, align the antennas in the same way and make sure the antennas (1g) will protrude above the camera case. This will pre- vent dropouts due to shadow effects of the camera case.
2.9Color Code To replace the black color code platelet (1) on the receiver with a
1.Lift the end of the black color code platelet (1h) on the top panel of the receiv- er and remove the color code platelet (1h).
2.Select a color code platelet of the desired color from the CC 60 Color Coding Kit and snap the selected platelet onto the receiver.
