Audio DX2040 User Manual

User Guide
The 2040 range has been designed as a result of extensive feedback from professional sound specialists
and sets a new benchmark for radio microphone systems, with several unique features and offering
benefits to appeal to sound mixers, directors, and artists.
The DX2040 true diversity receiver in the RMS2040 range can be used with the TX2040 pocket
transmitter and the HX2040 handheld transmitter. It is also fully compatible with the TX2020 and
TX2000 UHF transmitters. All settings on the DX2040 receiver can be read or changed via infra-red
using the Switch iR or AudiR© for Palm™.
Controls, display
and connections
Battery compartment
Holds two 1.5v AA (LR6) type cells.
On/Off
Switches the power on or off. Additionally the output cable
includes a link which disconnects power when the Lemo
plug is removed, in which case the switch can be left on.
Identification plug
Can be fitted with one of the coloured rubber plugs supplied
with the DX2040 to identify each unit.
Audio output
Provides transformer balanced microphone level and
adjustable headphone outputs.
Antenna A and Antenna B
SMA sockets to which the antennae are connected.
Indicators next to each antenna indicate which of the unit's
two built-in receivers is active at any time.
Infra-red port
Receives commands from and transmits status information
back to the SwitchIR infra-red controller.
TX/DX low battery indicators
Illuminate when the unit detects low battery power in either
the TX2040 Pocket Transmitter or DX2040 Receiver. The
units should not be used when a low battery power indicator
is illuminated as poor operation may result.
Note: The low DX battery indicator does not function when
the receiver is externally powered via Audio Ltd's cables.
This is not a fault.
No-signal indicator
Illuminated when no carrier signal is being received, such as
when the transmitter is switched off or set to an incorrect
frequency.
