[. . . ] For headworn mic use, it may be advisable to turn the gain down somewhat, depending on the volume levels expected. In either application, experiment and set for maximum possible gain without audible distortion on the high level peaks. (Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise and is not recommended. ) The AF PEAK LED INDICATOR (3) on the receiver will light for all loud input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use is normal, but if the LED stays lit continuously, turn down the INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (27) on the transmitter, or noticeable distortion may result. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 5. 12.

Connecting the Audio Output The receiver provides both a fixed mic level BALANCED MIC AUDIO OUTPUT XLR (11) and an adjustable line level AUX AUDIO OUTPUT 1/4" jack (10). (Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage. ) Instrument Connection (using the transmitter in the "Instrument" setting) Insert an audio cord with a 1/4" mono phone plug in the AUX AUDIO OUTPUT JACK (10) on the rear panel of the receiver. Plug the other end of the cord into an amplifier, effects, or mixing board. Adjust the AUX VOLUME CONTROL (9) on the receiver clockwise to about 3/4 full, until the volume level is comfortable for your application. This setting is roughly equivalent to a direct instrument cord connection. Turning the volume up to MAX will provide 4dB gain over a cord. 4 27 25 26 21 22 18 24 9 The AF PEAK LED INDICATOR (3) on the receiver will light for all loud input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use is normal, however if the LED stays on continuously, turn down the instrument volume or the INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (27) on the transmitter, or noticeable distortion may result. Microphone Connection (using the transmitter with either a headworn or lavalier microphone or the handheld microphone transmitter) For microphone use, either the BALANCED MIC AUDIO OUTPUT XLR (11) or the 1/4" line level AUX AUDIO OUTPUT (10) can be used. The XLR output is set at a non-adjustable microphone level, similar to hardwired mic levels. Plug an XLR connector into the XLR output socket on the rear of the unit and plug the other end into your amplifier or mixing board. Make sure the phantom power on your mixing board is turned off and the volume is turned down when making connections. For your convenience, the XLR output level is preset at the factory and is not adjustable with the receiver volume control. To use the 1/4" AUX AUDIO OUTPUT socket, follow the instructions for the Instrument Connection (above), except start the receiver volume at 1/2 MAX and adjust until the volume level is optimal. If the volume control is set too high, you may overload your mixer or amp. The receiver is equipped with an AF PEAK LED INDICATOR (3) which lights with a strong audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If the LED lights continuously, decrease the volume to the transmitter or overload distortion may result. (Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars with dirty pots or connections are used with any wireless system. Therefore, the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD (22) has a factory installed capacitor inside the 1/4" plug. [. . . ] Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range. When ready to play, slide the audio OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (25) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Instrument Connections section of the above receiver instructions. For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (27) is provided on the top panel of the Bodypack transmittert. [. . . ]
