Case

The 1 U half-rack case is easy to mount in a rack and allows you to install two receivers in a single slot.

Volume

Matches the output level of the receiver to the input gain of the mixer. (For details see illus- tration below)

Connecting to microphone or line inputs

Use an XLR cable to connect the MIC OUT socket on the SR 40 to a balanced (XLR) microphone input on the mixer. Turn the VOLUME control on the SR 40 all the way CCW (left). Use an XLR to 1/4" cable to connect the LINE OUT socket on the SR 40 to an unbalanced line input (1/4" jack) on the mixer. Turn the VOLUME control on the receiver all the way CW (right).

Never use both receiver outputs simultaneously! This may cause a loss in signal level and increased noise.
