MIXMODE/STEREO

The P4R receiver receives two signals (1/L and 2/R) from the P4T transmitter. The P4R processes these signals in either stereo or MixMode:

STEREO: In stereo, the signals remain separate so 1/L is heard through the left earphone and

2/R is heard through the right earphone. The balance knob on the receiver adjusts the balance between the left and right earphones.

MIXMODE: In MixMode, the signals are “mixed” in relation to one another using the balance knob, blending into one signal. The mixed signal is sent to both the left and right earphones.

USING MIXMODE

Step Two: Using the balance knob, the user blends the two signals until the correct mix is achieved.

Step Four: The user may con- tinue to adjust the blend using the balance knob throughout the performance.

Step One: The P4R re- ceives TWO signals from the P4T transmitter.

Step Three: The P4R sends the mixed signal to both earphones.

MIXMODE IN APPLICATIONS

MixMode is most useful when two distinct mixes are provided to the P4T transmitter, such as a band mix and a vocal mix. MixMode combines these two signals into one monitor mix and allows you to control this mix during the performance with the P4R receiver. For example, if the band overpowers the vocals in the mix, increase the level of the vocals and decrease the level of the band by simply adjusting the balance knob.
