• Before setting up your WMS 40 FLEXX, make sure to set the fre-
quency selectors on the transmitter and receiver to the same fre-
quency (1, 2, or 3). If the transmitter and receiver are tuned to dif-
ferent frequencies, no signal will be transmitted!
• Never use the two audio outputs (BALANCED and UNBALANCED)
simultaneously! This may cause signal loss or increased noise.
• You can either use the receiver freestanding or mount it in a 19" rack
using the optional RMU 40 PRO rack mounting kit. For instructions on
how to rack mount the receiver, refer to the RMU 40 PRO manual.
• Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects
of musicians and other people may weaken or cancel the direct trans-
mitter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:
1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure,
though, that the transmitter will never get any closer to the receiver
than 10 ft. (3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft. (5 m).
2. Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using
the transmitter.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal ob-
jects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
1. Use a standard XLR cable to connect the BALANCED output (10) on
the receiver rear panel to a balanced XLR microphone input on the
mixer.
2. Turn the VOLUME control (7) on the receiver front panel all the way CCW
to set the receiver output to microphone level.
1. Use a standard 1/4" jack cable to connect the UNBALANCED jack (11)
on the receiver rear panel to an unbalanced 1/4" line input on the mixer.
2. Turn the VOLUME control (7) on the receiver front panel all the way CW
to set the receiver output to line level.
To avoid hum interference, do not use audio cables longer than 10
feet (3 m)!
1. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power sup-
ply is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will
use your system. Using the power supply with a different AC volt-
age may cause damage to the unit.
2. Point the antennas (1) upward.
3. Plug the feeder cable on the included power supply into the DC ONLY
socket (13) on the receiver.
4. Bend part of the feeder cable into a small bight, pass the bight through
the strain relief (12) from above, and slip the bight over the hook on
the strain relief (12). Tighten the cable.
5. Plug the AC adapter into a convenient power outlet.
6. To switch power to the receiver on, press ON/OFF (2). To switch power
to the receiver off, press ON/OFF (2) again.
