Before Operation
4.1 Setting up the transmitter
The best transmission quality is obtained when the
transmitter is placed at the height of the receiver
(approx 1 m above the ground) and when there
are no obstacles between the transmitter and the
receiver The transmitter should also have a distance
of approx 1 m from lateral walls
For rack installation, screw the two mounting
brackets to the right and left sides of the housing
By means of an extension cable, the antenna can be
mounted to the front side of a mounting bracket in
the opening provided The cable is available as an
accessory
4.2 Connecting the transmitter
1) For power supply, connect the mains cable sup-
plied to the mains connection jack (10) and to a
mains socket (100 – 240 V)
2) Connect the audio source(s), e g stereo output
or monitor outputs of a mixer, to the combined
XLR / 6 3 mm jacks LEFT / CH 1 IN (14) and RIGHT /
CH 2 IN (15)
The connections are designed for balanced
signals; the pin configuration can be found in
figures 7 and 8 on page 37 The input signal
should have line level
If only an unbalanced signal is available at
the output of the signal source, this signal can
also be connected to the input jacks by means
of 6 3 mm mono plugs
3) At the feed-through outputs LOOP OUT CH 1
(12) and CH 2 (13) the signals of the inputs
LEFT/ CH 1 IN (14) and RIGHT / CH 2 IN (15) are
available for routing them to additional units,
e g further transmitters or recorders It is, for
example, possible to feed the CH 1 channels of
several transmitters with different solo signals for
the musicians while the mix of the entire band is
fed to the channel CH 2 of the first transmitter
and routed from the feed-through output LOOP
OUT CH 2 to the input CH 2 IN of the second
transmitter, from its LOOP OUT CH 2 to the input
CH 2 IN of the third, etc The configuration of
the LOOP OUT jacks corresponds to fig 8 on
page 37
The jacks LOOP OUT are directly connected
to the corresponding input jacks, i e with an
unbal anced signal at an input, this signal will also
be unbalanced at the LOOP OUT jack
4) To monitor the audio signal, connect stereo head-
phones (impedance 2 × ≥ 16 Ω) to the 6 3 mm
jack (9) or the 3 5 mm jack (8) directly to the trans-
mitter The two jacks are connected in parallel
When the two jacks are used simultaneously,
make sure that the total impedance of the two
head phones does not fall below 16 Ω for each
channel (2 × ≥ 32 Ω per headphones in case of
identical headphones)
The configuration of the headphone jacks
can be found in figures 9 and 10 on page 37
5) Connect the antenna supplied to the BNC jack
ANTENNA OUT (16) and set it up in a vertical
position
4.3 Power supply of the receiver
The receiver is supplied with power via two batter-
ies or rechargeable batteries of size AA To insert
the batter ies, press together the two latches (27)
and pull the battery support downwards out of the
receiver (see fig 6 on page 37) Slide the cover
of the battery compartment upwards and open it
When inserting the batteries, make sure to observe
the polarity printed on the battery support Close
the battery compartment in reverse order and slide
the battery support back into the receiver until it
locks into place
The charging status of the batteries will be in-
dicated as a symbol (c) on the display (23) during
operation:
fully charged
If the receiver is not used for a longer period, the
batteries should be removed to prevent damage to
the unit due to battery leakage
Do not put discharged batteries and
defective rechargeable batteries in the
household waste To protect the environ-
ment, always take them to a special waste
disposal, e g collection container at your
retailer
4.4 Connecting the Earphones
Connect the earphones (28 and 29) supplied to the
output jack (24) of the receiver via the connection
plug (20) The configuration of the earphone jack
corresponds to fig 10 on page 37
