3 Setting Up

• Prior to every soundcheck, verify that the transmitter and receiver are
tuned to the same frequency.
• The adjustment procedures for all transmitter and receiver parameters are dia-
grammatically shown in figs. A1 to A25 on pages 122 through 136.
Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians
and other people may weaken or cancel the direct transmitter signal.
For best results, place the transmitter or remote antenna as follows:
1. Place the transmitter/antenna near the performance area (stage). Make sure,
though, that the receiver will never get any closer to the transmitter than 10 ft
(3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft. (5 m).
2. Place the transmitter/antenna at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal ob-
jects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
3. Place the transmitter at least 10 ft. (3 m) away from any wireless microphone re-
ceiver (e.g., an SR 4500) in order to prevent crosstalk from the in-ear monitor
system into wireless microphone channels.
1. Unscrew the four rubber feet (1) from the transmitter bottom panel.
2. Unscrew the two fixing screws (2) from each side panel.
3. Use the fixing screws (2) to screw the short bracket (3) to one side panel and the
long bracket (4) to the other side panel. The brackets are contained in the sup-
plied rack mounting kit.
4. Install the transmitter in your rack.
1. Unscrew the four rubber feet (1) from each transmitter's bottom panel and re-
move the screws (5) from the rubber feet (1).
2. Unscrew the two fixing screws (2) from the right-hand side panel of one trans-
mitter and from the left-hand side panel of the other transmitter.
3. Insert one connecting strip (4) into each free slot in the side panel of the first
transmitter, making sure to align the hole in each connecting strip (4) with the ap-
propriate threaded hole in the transmitter bottom panel.
4. Fix the three connecting strips (4) on the first transmitter using three of the
screws (5) you removed from the rubber feet.
5. To join the two transmitters, slide the connecting strips (4) on the first transmit-
ter through the free slots in the side panel of the second transmitter. Make sure
to align the hole in each connecting strip (4) with the appropriate threaded hole
in the bottom panel of the second transmitter.
6. Fix the connecting strips (4) on the second transmitter using the three screws
(5) you removed from the rubber feet.
7. Screw a short bracket (6) to the outer side panel of each transmitter using for
each bracket two of the screws (2) you removed from the transmitter side pan-
els.
8. Install the transmitters in your rack.
