5. Connecting the Audio Output

The Encore DUET receiver provides both a fixed mic level BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT XLR (14) for each channel and an adjustable line level A + B UNBALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT 1/4" JACK (13) which provides a mixed (summed) Ch A plus Ch B output signal. The mixed level from the A + B UNBALANCED OUTPUT is controlled by the rear panel VOLUME CONTROLS (6) for each channel.

(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage. Also make sure that the phantom power on the input of the mixer is turned OFF before making connection to the receiver.)

a.Instrument Connection (using the WGT instrument transmitter)

Insert an audio cord with a 1/4" mono phone plug in the A + B UNBALANCED OUTPUT JACK (13) on the rear panel of the receiver. Plug the other end of the cord into an amplifier, effects, or mixing board. Adjust the appropriate VOLUME CONTROL (6) for the channel being used on the Encore

DUET receiver clockwise to about 3/4 rotation, until the mixed volume level is comfortable for your application. This setting is roughly equivalent to a direct instrument cord connection. Turning the volume up to maximum will provide

4dB gain over a cord. (Note: Since this a mixed output of Ch A & Ch B, both channels with be processed simultaneously by the amplifier and/or effects connected to, which may not be appropriate for your application.

b.Microphone Connection (using the WLT transmitter with either a headset or lavalier microphone or the WHT handheld microphone transmitter)

For microphone use, either the BALANCED MIC AUDIO OUTPUT XLRs (14) or the 1/4" line level A + B UNBALANCED OUTPUT (13) can be used. The XLR output

is set at a non-adjustable microphone level, similar to hardwired mic levels. Plug an XLR connector into either or both of the XLR OUTPUT JACKS on the rear of the unit and plug the other end into your amplifier or mixing board.

(Note: Make sure the phantom power on your mixing board is turned off and the volume is turned down when making connections.)

For your convenience, the XLR output levels are preset at the factory and are not adjustable with the receiver volume controls. To use the 1/4" A + B UNBALANCED OUTPUT JACK (13), follow the instructions for the Instrument

Connection (above), except start with the receiver volume at 1/2 MAX and adjust the volume control for each channel until the mixed Ch A and

Ch B volume level is optimal. If the volume controls are set too high, you may overload your mixer or amp.
