  • Page 20: Adjusting Gain And Listening Volume

    Before you begin: verify all signal routing and gain settings at the mixer or source prior to adjusting any levels from the PSM300 system. If the sound is distorted or faint when it enters the P3T transmitter, there is likely an issue elsewhere in the signal chain that needs to be resolved.
  • Page 21: Operation

    Shure Incorporated ② Adjust Receiver Volume: After levels are established at the mixer and transmitter, use the headphone volume control on the bodypack receiver to adjust overall listening volume. For information on adjusting the left/right balance or customizing the mix blend, see "MixMode and Stereo Monitoring".
  • Page 22: Mixmode And Stereo Monitoring

    Shure Incorporated Adjust the signal levels to send to the monitor/auxiliary outputs, each of which corresponds to a separate monitoring mix.
