Mounting Antennas On Floor Stands; Wall Mounting; Connecting Antennas; Cable Attenuation Switch - AKG PS 61 Modo De Empleo

1. Place the antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the
transmitter will never get any closer to the antennas than 10 ft (3 m). Optimum
separation is 16 ft. (5 m). Place the antennas at least 10 ft. (3 m) from each other.
2. There should always be a direct line of sight between the transmitter and antennas.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal objects, walls,
scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
4. Do not place antennas in wall recesses.
5. Place antennas at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any equipment that may emit RF
radiation such as lighting racks, fluorescent lamps, digital effects units, or PCs.
When mounting the antennas on floor stands, be sure to proceed as follows:
≥70 cm
≥150 cm
≥70 cm

1. Connect the antenna cables to the antennas and wind the cables about the booms.
Do not allow cables to sag below the boom because this may degrade the re-
ception quality.
2. Connect one antenna cable to the ANTENNA A input and the other to the
ANTENNA B input on the Power Splitter. Lock the connectors by rotating them
through 90 degrees CW.
To compensate for antenna cable attenuation, set the CABLE ATTENUATION switch
on the Power Splitter rear panel to the position given in Table 1 for the length of
antenna cable you are using. Note that the values in Table 1 apply to RA61 B and
RA 81 B antennas only!

The sensitivity of the booster an-
tenna is highest within an angle of
±35 degrees to ±50 degrees off its
transverse axis. If you mount the
antenna higher than 10 ft. (3 m)
above the floor, make sure to aim
the antenna to the performance
area.

Use the supplied SA 43 stand
adapter to mount the antenna
on the boom of a boom stand.
Pull the boom out all the way
to one side to make sure the
antenna will be at
28 inches (70 cm) away from
the stand.
Extend the stand high enough
to place the boom at least 5 ft.
(1.5 m) above the floor.
