  • Page 2 Sound Choice. The special feature of the SC-186Kx2 is that while the two channels transmit the same audio signal most of the time, one channel transmitting at 2.3 mHz can be muted in order...
  • Page 3 not be heard by listeners wearing headsets. The other channel transmitting on 2.8 mHz will always remain on so that listeners entitled to hear private communications can continue to do so unmuted. A typical situation would be in court where it would not be permissible for a juror to hear certain private discussions during the proceedings.
  • Page 4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC SETUP: Unpack the transmitter, power transformer, 360° microphone-emitter box (SC-MEB if ordered), remote mute control and cable (SC-RMS if ordered), 360° emitter disk (SC-360 if ordered), and at least one headset receiver.

  • Page 10 USING ANOTHER INPUT SOURCE: Although the internal pressure zone microphone is one of the best ways to pick up sounds within a room when no other microphones are available, or when a single speaker is positioned near the transmitter, there are situations where other solutions are possible.
  • Page 11 2. Move the selector switch next to the EXTERNAL INPUT jack to the "LINE" position. Leaving the switch in the wrong position won't damage the transmitter, but the sound will be overloaded and distorted. As soon as the external line source is plugged in, the internal microphone is automatically disabled.
