  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction TRANSMITTERS The QT-5100 series transmitters are rugged, small, at least sweatproof and have long battery life. In addition, the AquaMic is waterproof (IP-68 certified to 100’) and the PlayerMic is flexible. REMOTE CONTROL AUDIO SYSTEM (RCAS) The Q5X remote control system is referred to as Remote Control Audio System (RCAS). The RCAS manages the transmitter settings rather than having settings adjusted on the transmitters.
  • Page 8 Introduction NETWORK GATEWAY (QG-N3) The RCAS system can also be networked by ethernet using a QG-N3 Network Gateway to remotely control QT- 5100, AD10, and legacy analog transmitters utilizing MicControl software running from a computer on the same network. Multiple QG-N3 gateways can be added to an ethernet network to manage large venue installations. The QG-N3 is powered through a power over ethernet (PoE) switch or by a micro USB power supply.

  • Page 9: Power Management

    Power Management All transmitters have rechargeable lithium polymer batteries with run times that vary from 2 - 16 hours depending on power level and battery sizes. The values in this table are typical of new batteries. Standard Battery Life High power Battery Life Product Feature Case...

  • Page 10: Charging

    Power Management CHARGING It is best to completely charge the QT-5100 before use. To charge a transmitter, insert the supplied micro USB charging cable and connect to a USB power source (QT-5100 should NOT be connected to a computer and should be connected with a charge only cable.).

    MicCommander START-UP Turn on the MicCommander by pressing the button on the top of the unit. Upon powering up, the MicCommander will display a list of transmitters to which it is currently registered. If the desired transmitter is not displayed on this Active Transmitters list, it must be added. SETTINGS Select a transmitter from the active transmitters list with the “ENTER”...
  • Page 12 MicCommander Gain: Can be adjusted from -10 dB to +30 dB. The MicCommander displays this information in present. Name: Name is a 15-character alphanumeric name which can be entered for each transmitter. Note that the receiver will not display all 15 characters of the full transmitter name. Group: Group is the group number (1-16) to which the transmitter belongs, allowing it to be controlled with group commands (see Group Commands below).

To scan for all active transmitters, select scan. Once the list has populated select the desired transmitters and press the “Back”...

  • Page 15: Device Configuration

    MicCommander DEVICE CONFIGURATION Link Linking is a process to securely create a “collection” of RCAS devices that prevents unwanted access from RCAS controllers outside of the collection. Linking begins by setting Link ID on the MicCommander and then sending the ID to all QT-5100 transmitters that will be part of the collection.
  • Page 16 MicCommander MicCommander (QG-H2) DEVICE CONFIGURATION CON’T Default Channel: Default is Channel 25 for RCAS as it is generally the channel with the least amount of interference. If the control process seems to be borderline, go to Tools, enter the 2.4 Spectrum mode and view the local activity on the 2.4GHz band.

  • Page 17: Tools

    MicCommander TOOLS 2.4GHz Spectrum: View the spectrum and identify the best channel to operate the RCAS system on. Over time, the channel indicators will store the peak values for easy reference. Lower bars indicate less activity which is the desired result. Select Reset to clear the stored peak values to start a fresh scan.
