1.MIC/LINE INPUT Jacks: Electronically balanced inputs that accommodate both XLR and 1/4-inch connectors at mic or line levels.

2.Signal/Clip LEDs: Color indicates the signal status of the corresponding MIC/LINE input, as explained in the Audio Inputs and Outputs section below.

3.INPUT Knobs: Control the level of their corresponding inputs.

4.CHANNEL LED Indicator: Displays the frequency chan- nel that is being transmitted (1-8).

5.SELECT Button: Press to select a frequency channel.

6.Antenna: Permanently mounted, break–resistant anten- na transmits the mix to the P2R Receiver.

7.Power Cord Strain Relief: Thread the power cable through these slots to secure the DC connection.

8.DC IN: Plug the power supply into this connector. The unit remains powered on until you unplug it.

9.SPLIT OUTs: Each male XLR output jack duplicates the signal of the corresponding mic/line input. Front panel set- tings have no effect on split output level.

Audio Inputs and Outputs

The INPUT knobs control both MIC and LINE level signals. As a general guide- line, set the knob to the left of twelve o’clock for line level signals, and to the right of twelve o’clock for microphone levels.

Observe the signal/clip LEDs. If they are consistently red, decrease the level with the corresponding INPUT knob.

NOTE: If the level is decreased all the way and the LED remains red, the level of the input from the previous device in the audio chain (mixer, click track, digital sequencer, etc.) is too high and should be decreased.

INPUT Knob

To pass audio signal directly through the TransMixer, use the corresponding SPLIT OUT on the rear panel of the device. Input settings do not affect the level of the signal at the SPLIT OUT connectors.

* The P2T inputs have limiting circuitry that activates automatically when the input level is too high.

Phantom Power

Although the TransMixer itself does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUT connectors pass phantom pow- er from a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack. You can connect equipment that supplies phan- tom power to the TransMixer without harming the unit.

CAUTION!: Use a “direct box” when connecting guitars, keyboards, and other instruments to a mixing console through the P2T. The phantom power that mixing consoles provide for microphones can damage other instruments. Connect the instrument to the direct box then connect the direct box to the TransMixer input.

Selecting a Frequency Channel

1.Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to flash.

2.When the LED indicator is flashing, press the SELECT button to scroll to the desired frequency channel.

3.Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2T will automatically switch to the specified channel.

IMPORTANT:

Never set more than ONE TransMixer to the same frequency channel, or interference will occur.
