Operation

Creating Monitor Mixes
The mix that performers hear on stage is usually different than the mix
heard by the audience. In live sound applications, the engineer creates a
separate mix to send to the performer by routing the input signals to speci-
fied mixer outputs, usually called Monitor or Auxiliary outputs.
The following scenario demonstrates a generic signal path for monitoring
mixes, and may not reflect the routing for all mixer types. Consult the user
guide for your mixer for detailed signal routing options.
① Mixer Channel
Each mixer channel controls audio processing and routing for a single
audio source. In this example, a vocal microphone is plugged into the
mixer channel.
② Monitor/Auxiliary Sends
Adjust the signal levels to send to the monitor/auxiliary outputs, each
of which corresponds to a separate monitoring mix. Each of these
mixes are sent to separate channels on the P3T transmitter.
Note: The channel faders on most mixers do not affect the volume of the monitor/
auxiliary sends.
③ Wireless Transmission
Each monitoring mix is transmitted on a separate channel to the
P3R receiver. The MixMode knob on the bodypack adjusts the blend
between the audio from channel 1 and channel 2.
MixMode and Stereo Monitoring
The receiver can operate in stereo or MixMode when the transmitter is
set to STEREO-MX. In applications that involve multiple bodypack receivers
tuned to a single transmitter, some bodypacks can operate in stereo, while
others operate in MixMode.
Selecting the Mode
Stereo: The receiver is set to stereo mode by default. To switch from
MixMode to stereo, simply turn the receiver off and it will return to stereo
mode when powered back on.
MixMode: Press and hold the GROUP button on the bodypack receiver
while turning the power on. The MixMode indicator light on the receiver
display turns on to confirm the setting. The receiver will return to stereo
mode after it has been powered off.

Stereo
Audio from channel 1 is heard on the left earphone, while audio from
channel 2 is heard on the right earphone. Listening in stereo mode in-
creases separation between the sources on each channel, which can im-
prove clarity when many sources are being monitored. The MixMode knob
on the bodypack adjusts left/right balance when operating in stereo mode.
