Multiple System Setup - Shure PSM 900 User Manual

Multiple System Setup

When setting up multiple systems, designate a single bodypack to scan for
available frequencies and download them to all the rack units.
The bodypack must be from the same frequency band as all the
transmitters.
1. Power on all the rack units. Turn off the RF. (This prevents them from
interfering with the frequency scan.)
Note: Turn on all other wireless or digital devices as they would be dur-
ing the performance or presentation (so the scan will detect and avoid
any interferance they generate).
2. Use the bodypack to scan for a group by pressing and holding the scan
button for two seconds. The bodypack displays the group and the num-
ber of available channels, and flashes SYNC NOW....
Important: Note the number of available channels. If you have more
rack units than available channels, eliminate potential sources of interfer-
ence and try again, or call Shure Applications for assistance.
3. Sync the bodypack with the first rack unit by aligning the IR windows and
pressing sync.
4. Press scan again on the bodypack to find the next available frequency.
5. Sync the bodypack with the next rack unit.
6. Repeat with all the rack units.
7. Sync each performer's bodypack to its respective rack unit by aligning the
IR windows and pressing snyc. DO NOT press scan on the bodypacks.
8. Turn on the RF on all rack units. The systems are ready to use.
MixMode for Multiple Systems
Configure each system for MixMode. From the mixing console, send a mix
of the whole band to input 2 of the first transmitter. Connect the LOOP OUT
R output to the CH. 2 IN input of the next transmitter. Continue the chain
with all the transmitters.
Next, create solo mixes for each performer. Send each mix to input 1 of the
transmitter for that performer.
CueMode
CueMode allows you to upload the name and frequency settings from mul-
tiple rack units and store them as a list on a single bodypack. You can then,
at any time, scroll through that list to hear the audio mix from each transmit-
ter, just as each performer does during a show.
CueMode lists are retained even if CueMode is exited, the bodypack is
turned off, or batteries are removed.
Note: Set the channel frequency and assign display names for each trans-
mitter before creating your CueMode list.
Adding Transmitters to the CueMode List
Note: The transmitter must be from the same frequency band as the
bodypack.
1. Open the battery door and press the enter button.
2. From the main menu, scroll to UTILITIES and press enter. Select
CueMode and press enter again.
3. Align IR windows and press sync on the rack unit.
The LCD displays SYNC SUCCESS after frequency and name data are
uploaded to the CueMode list. It also displays the CueMode number for
that transmitter and the total number of transmitters.
4. Repeat the above step for each transmitter.
Note: Syncing while in CueMode does not change any of the settings on
the bodypack.
Auditioning Mixes
1. Enter CueMode from the UTILITIES menu.
2. Use the ▼▲ buttons to scroll through your CueMode list to hear the
mixes.
Exiting CueMode
Exit CueMode by pressing enter and selecting EXIT CUEMODE.
Managing CueMode Mixes
While in Cue Mode, you can access the following menu by pressing enter:
REPLACE MIX Select and press sync on a rack unit to upload new data
for the current mix (for example, if you have changed the transmitter
frequency).
DELETE MIX Removes the selected mix.
DELETE ALL Removes all mixes.
EXIT CUEMODE Exits CueMode and returns the bodypack to the previous
frequency setting.
