Set the performer's 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.
For IFB applications, send two independent program feeds into the L/CH1 and R/CH2 input of the transmitter. With MixMode,
the director or broadcast talent can listen to either feed using the balance control (▼▲ buttons) on the bodypack to pan to ei
ther audio signal.
LOOP Applications
Use LOOP OUT L (left) and R (right) outputs to send a copy of the audio signal going into the transmitter to other devices. Fol
lowing 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.
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 R/CH2 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.
Floor Monitors
Send the audio from the LOOP outputs to onstage loudspeakers. The bodypack and the onstage monitors receive the same
audio signals.
Note: The LOOP audio outputs will not drive passive loudpeakers, and must be sent to a power amplifier or an active loudspeaker.
Recording Devices
To record a performance, connect the LOOP outputs to the inputs of a recording device.
Squelch
Squelch mutes audio output from the bodypack when the RF signal become noisy. While squelch is activated, the blue LED on
the bodypack turns off.
For most installations, squelch does not need adjustment, and it keeps the performer from hearing hiss or noise bursts if the
RF signal becomes compromised. However, in congested RF environments or in close proximity to sources of RF interference
(such as large LED video panels), the squelch may need to be lowered to prevent excessive audio dropouts. With lower
squelch settings, the performer may hear more noise or hiss, but will experience fewer audio dropouts.
Important: Before lowering squelch, first try to eliminate the problem by finding the best set of frequencies for your installation and removing potential sources
of interference.
Caution: Turning off or lowering the squelch setting can increase the noise level and cause discomfort to the performer:
•
Do not lower the squelch setting unless absolutely necessary.
•
Turn earphone volume to the lowest setting before adjusting squelch.
•
Do not change the squelch setting during a performance.
•
Turn up the transmitter level setting to make noise or hiss less noticeable.
