    2-channel receiver, this set of controls is shared, and assigned to a channel by pushing either the A or B Channel Select button (see Section 5.2.2). Your SWM7000 Series receiver uses Sabine’s Tweek-n-Peek™ digi- tal control system. Whenever you turn a control knob one click, the associ- ated function is shown on two lines of text display in the LCD.

    For example, you may have a mixer with only 8 inputs, but you really need 12 mics for a show. You can combine the outputs of several pairs of Sabine wireless mics and the show can go on without buying a new mixer.

    How can this be? Your guitar cable can actually reduce your high frequency re- sponse. We are all quite used to this slight rolling off of the high end, but the Sabine wireless does not roll off, so your instrument may sound brighter then ever before.
  • Page 23 When such antenna spacing proves difficult or impossible, we recommend using Sabine’s An- tenna Distribution Amplifier (Sabine SWA6SS), which can help manage antenna configurations and, more importantly, improve system-wide inter- ference rejection.

    7 different SuperModel microphones available per chan- nel. Four of these (Shure SM-58, Shure Beta 58, Audio Technica ATM 41A, and AKG D-3800)* are designed for use with either of Sabine’s dynamic handheld microphone/transmitters (SW70-HD13 or SW70-HD15). The remaining three (Shure Beta 87A, AKG C535EB, and Audio Technica ATM 89R)* are designed for use with Sabine’s condenser handheld microphone/transmitter (SW70-H19).

    7 .2. FBX Set Up Follow these easy steps to obtain the maximum gain and protection from feedback. Sabine FBX employs a very fast and quiet setup mode to make it easy to use. 1. Place the speakers in the positions where they will be used during the program.

  • Page 27: Fbx Bypass Button

    Any feedback that occurs after setup will be eliminated by dynamic filters, which remain in reserve to catch surprise feedback if it occurs during performance/operation. In most instances you will experience an additional gain of 6-9 dB before feedback when using the Sabine True MobilityTM System. Precise results will depend on system and acoustical considerations.

  • Page 28: Compressor/Limiter Operation

    Ratio: Compression ratio is the ratio of the input gain change to the output gain change. The compression ratio on your Sabine Wireless ranges from 1:1 to 19:1, in increments of 1 dB. Set Ratio to 1:1 to bypass Compressor.

Power Off Memory The SWM7000 retains in memory all settings in effect at the time of being powered off, and returns to those settings when powered on.

  • Page 33: Multiple Systems Operation

    Multiple system operation presents at least two important operational chal- lenges: interference among transmission channels, and setup complexity. The Sabine SWM7000 provides powerful solutions to both, particularly the interference problems associated with two or more RF channels at work at the same time, at the same location.

    However, a better strategy than moving the Antenna Distributor to a better position, and risking excessive transmission loss back to the receivers or requiring an upgrade to more expensive cable, is to utilize a pair of Sabine Extension Antennas (SWASS-EXT-2). These will connect to the antenna inputs...
