  • Page 2: Dropouts

    Mixing these signals can cause a dramatic drop in signal strength. This problem is common to all wireless microphone systems. 1.4.2. The SWM7000 receiver overcomes this problem by using a true diversity system that features two independent receiver circuits per RF channel. The receiver constantly monitors the signal strength from both antennas and automatically switches to the antenna with the strongest signal.
  • Page 3 Placing one or both antennas out of the line of sight of the transmitter defeats diversity and causes dropouts. 1.4.5. Range The SWM7000 with dipole antennas has a 300 foot range line-of-sight (no objects between the transmitter and receiver antenna, including hands and bodies).
  • Page 4 15 or 30 foot lengths (SWACA15-TNC or SWACA30-TNC). Use Belden RG8, or equivalent, for longer cable runs to reduce signal loss. These cables require an N- connector. Use the Sabine SWATNC-N adaptor cable to connect the RG8 cables to the extension antenna. Check your connections carefully –...

    2.3. The best way to locate clear channels and avoid outside interference is to turn off the Sabine mics and then run the scan function in Sabine Remote. Turn on all known possible sources of RF interference in your area. Is there a microwave oven nearby? If so, put a cup of water in it and run it while you scan.

  • Page 7: Sound Quality

    3. Sound Quality 3.1. If your SWM7000 system does not sound as good as a wired mic, something is out of adjustment. The first thing to try is to plug a wired mic into the receiver’s audio-out cord. If the system still sounds bad, your problem is downstream of the receiver.
  • Page 8: Battery Charging System

    Current versions of the receiver show the maximum output level as +10 and mute as ---. Older versions show mute as -00. 3.6. If the system still does not sound good with all of the functions turned off, call Sabine at 386 418 2000.

    7.1. Upgrade your software if you have problems connecting. See the Upgrade section below. 7.2. Each receiver can be controlled by Sabine Remote software on a PC computer, even if it is not an ND series. Apple computers are not supported, although some customers report good results with PC emulation programs.
  • Page 10 • In Windows, go to Control Panel, Systems, Hardware, Device Manager, and click on ‘Universal Serial Bus controllers’. • If the receiver is connected properly, ‘Sabine SWM7000-USB is Ready’ will be listed. If this is not there, then the receiver is not connected to the PC correctly.

    8.4. Digital Audio The SWM7000 provides for digital audio output and complies with the following AES/EBU conventions: Audio sample word = 16 to 24bit, SWM7000 = 24bit. Signal Amplitude = 2 to 7Vpp, SWM7000 = 5Vpp. The signal amplitude should be measured across a 110 ohm load without any interconnecting cables.
