Features
Frequency Scan
The scan feature analyzes the RF environment for
interference to identify available frequencies. The
PSM900 has two frequency scan modes:
• Channel Scan Press the scan button on the
bodypack. Finds the first available channel.
• Group Scan Press and hold the scan button
for two seconds. Finds the group with the
greatest number of available channels. (Each
group contains a set of frequencies that are
compatible when operating multiple systems in
the same environment.)
Sync
The PSM900 transfers settings in either direction:
from the bodypack to the rack unit, or from the
rack unit to the bodypack.
• Sending settings to the bodypack: Align
the IR windows and press the sync button on
the rack unit. The blue LED on the bodypack
flashes.
• Downloading settings from the bodypack:
First press the scan button on the bodypack.
Then align the IR windows and press the sync
button on the rack unit while the bodypack
display is flashing "SYNC NOW...". The level
LEDs flash on the rack unit.

LOOP Applications

Use LOOP OUT L (left) and R (right) outputs to send a copy of the audio signal going into the transmit-
ter to other devices. Following are a few of the many applications for these outputs.
Note: The input level control and the input pad do not affect the LOOP OUT signals.
Stereo for Multiple Systems
Send one stereo signal from the mixing console
the inputs on the first transmitter, then connect the
LOOP outputs to the inputs on the next transmit-
ter. Repeat for all transmitters to form a chain.

MixMode
Some performers need to hear more of their own
voice or instrument, while others want to hear
more of the band. With MixMode, the performer
creates their own mix using the balance control
(▼▲ buttons) on the bodypack.
To use MixMode, send a solo mix of the perform-
er to the CH. 1 IN input on the transmitter, and
send a band mix to the CH. 2 IN input.
Set the performers bodypack for MixMode. The
bodypack combines the two signals and sends
them to both earphones, while the balance control
on the bodypack adjusts the relative levels for
each.
CueMode
CueMode allows you to upload the name and fre-
quency settings from multiple 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 transmitter, 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.
Floor Monitors
Send the audio from the LOOP outputs to onstage
loudspeakers. The bodypack and the onstage
monitors receive the same audio signals.
Recording Devices
To record a performance, connect the LOOP out-
puts to the inputs of a recording device.
