Turn on the bass transmitter by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (20) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (21) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one. The bass transmitter is now ready to use. The A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (14) and most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs (15) on the Encore 200 receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Connecting the Audio Output section of the above Encore 200 receiver instructions. For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (22) is provided on the top panel of the transmitter. Adjust the gain by turning the control with a small slot head screwdriver. It is recommended that this control be turned to maximum gain. (Note: the bass wireless transmitter has been designed for extra headroom). However, for ultra high-gain instrument sources such as hot active bass pickups, turning the level down slightly can provide a cleaner sound. (Note: Turning down the input gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise ratio and is not recommended. Set for the maximum possible gain and headroom without noticeable distortion on the high level peaks). The AF LEVEL LED DISPLAY (16) on the Encore 200 receiver will light up to 5 LEDs (4 green and 1 red) for all input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use of the top red LED indicator in this display is normal, however if the red LED stays on continuously, turn down the instrument volume or adjust the INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (22) on the bass transmitter, or noticeable distortion may result. (Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some basses with dirty pots or connections are used with any wireless system. For this reason, the supplied IC-V1 INSTRUMENT CORD (24) has a factory installed capacitor inside the 1/4" plug. This capacitor provides first order filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should your equipment still give you scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them: a. Make sure all bass volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are ENCORE 200 RECEIVER 1. Rackmounting the Receiver There are 2 options available for rackmounting the Encore 200 receiver: singly or side-by-side with another Encore Series receiver. [. . . ] This is normal ­ the unit's DigiTRU DiversityTM reception ensures that the received audio will not be interrupted. When both the A/B DIVERSITY LEDs and the 5 LED RF LEVEL display extinguish, the transmitter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the receiver to re-establish the radio link. 8 5 5. Bass Boost Control Ordinary wireless systems all sound somewhat thinner (with less bass) than hardwired. This is due to (1) natural side effects of the noise reduction circuitry employed, and (2) lack of the high-frequency roll-off normally caused by longer hardwired cable runs. [. . . ]
