Positioning the Receiver

people may weaken or cancel the direct transmitter 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 will never get any closer to the receiver than 10 ft (3 m).

Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter.

Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal objects, walls, scaf -

 

 

folding, ceilings, etc.

 

You can either use the receiver freestanding or mount it in a 19" rack using the supplied

 

 

Rack Mount Kit.

 

If you install one or ore 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 opti-

 

 

mum reception quality.

 

You can use both the XLR and ¼” jack outputs to connect the receiver to your mixer or amp.

Connecting the Receiver

Use the receiver’s AUDIO Menu to adjust the output level as required.

to a Mixer/Amplifier

Connect the audio output to the desired input:

 

-

XLR output -> XLR Cable -> XLR input

 

-

1/4” output -> unbalanced cable -> ¼" input

 

Attenuation Switch

 

The attenuation switch lets you match the receiver’s BALANCED output level to the input

 

 

gain of the connected equipment.

 

If you use a MIC input on your mixer, set the attenuation switch to -30 dB. This reduces

 

 

the output level by 30 dB and prevents the input from being overloaded.

 

The UNBALANCED line output level is not adjustable.
