Operation

To set up and use your Stealth Pro, follow the steps in this chapter in order. If you are setting up a system using multiple receivers, set up each receiver one at a time, and keep each receiver powered on as you set up additional units.

Setting Up the Receiver

Frequency Selection
1. Use the included mini-XLR to XLR cable to connect the receiver’s Audio Output to your loudspeaker.
2. Use the included power adapter to connect the receiver’s power connector to your power source. The receiver will power on automatically.
3. Set the receiver’s channel using one of the following methods:
To automatically select a frequency:
i. Press the Scan button to automatically scan for the next available RF channel. The
channel will flash on the Display and the RF meter will show the level of RF congestion for each scanned channel in real-time.
To exit auto frequency selection at any time during the scanning process, press the Freq button. Press the L/R, Delay, or SQ buttons to exit Scan mode and enter that respective mode. The receiver will revert to the last selected frequency.
ii. Once the receiver finds the next available channel with an acceptable RF congestion
level, it will hold that channel and continue flashing the channel number in the display. During this time you can audition the held channel.
iii. If you need to keep scanning for a different available frequency, press the Up/Down
buttons while the channel is flashing to continue scanning in that direction for the next available channel.
iv. Press the Scan button to select the auto-scanned frequency
and enter broadcast mode. The RF indicator in the display will flash, indicating that the selected frequency is being broadcast to the transmitter via the 2.4 GHz frequency (see image).
If the Scan button is not pressed after 5 minutes, the receiver will exit Scan mode and revert to the previously selected frequency.
v. Once the transmitter has synced with the receiver (see Setting Up the Transmitter
below), the receiver will automatically stop broadcasting the selected frequency and the RF indicator will stop flashing. You can exit broadcast mode by pressing the Scan button to return to normal operation, or press the L/R, Delay, or SQ buttons to exit broadcast mode and enter the selected function.
8
To manually select a frequency:
i. Press the Freq button once to enter manual frequency selection mode. The RF
frequency and channel will flash on the Display.
ii. With the frequency flashing, press the Up/Down buttons to increase (+) or decrease (-)
the frequency and corresponding channel.
iii. When an acceptable frequency is found, press Freq a second time to complete manual
frequency selection and enter broadcast mode. The RF indicator will flash in the display, signaling that the selected frequency is being broadcast to the transmitter via the 2.4 GHz frequency (see image, above).
iv. Once the transmitter has synced with the receiver (see Setting Up the Transmitter
below), the receiver will automatically stop broadcasting the selected frequency and the RF indicator will stop flashing. You can exit broadcast mode by pressing the Scan button to return to normal operation, or press the L/R, Delay, or SQ buttons to exit broadcast mode and enter the selected function.
4. The transmitter must be in Sync mode to accept frequency changes made by the receiver.
The receiver will stop sending frequency data if it receives an RF signal lock from the
transmitter, or if it receives no RF signal lock after 10 minutes.
Delay Line Adjustment
1. Press the Delay button once to enter delay line adjustment mode. The measurement units on
the display will flash. By default, the selected measurement unit when the Delay button is first pressed is milliseconds (ms). To change the measurement unit:
i. Press Delay a second time to change the unit to feet (ft.).
ii. Press Delay a third time to change the unit to meters (m).
iii. If Delay is pressed a fourth time, the measurement units will stop flashing and delay line
adjustment mode is exited. To start over, press Delay again.
2. Once the measurement unit is selected, use the Up/Down buttons to increase (+) or decrease
(-) the delay parameter. Increasing the delay amount greater than zero should cause the Delay On icon in the Display to light.
Single press the Up/Down buttons to adjust the value incrementally.
Press and hold the Up/Down buttons to continually adjust the value.
3. When the desired value is reached, press the Delay button to exit delay line adjustment mode.
You can also press the Scan, Freq, L/R, Delay, or SQ buttons to exit delay line adjustment mode and enter that respective mode.

Setting Up the Transmitter

1. Use a standard XLR cable or 1/4” (6.35 mm) cable (not included) to connect your mixer or other audio source to the transmitter’s Combo Inputs.
2. Use the included power adapter to connect the transmitter’s power connector to your power source. Press the Power Switch to turn the transmitter on.
3. To enter frequency selection mode, first press the Freq button on the transmitter.
i. Press once for Channel 1. The Channel 1 frequency will flash on the Display.
ii. Press a second time within 10 seconds of the first press to enter frequency selection
mode for Channel 2. The Channel 2 frequency will flash on the Display.
iii. Press a third time within 10 seconds of the second press to exit manual frequency
selection mode.
Next, set the transmitter’s frequency using one of the following methods:
To automatically synchronize the transmitter with the receiver’s selected frequency:
i. Make sure the receiver is powered on and within 3 feet (1 meter) of the transmitter.
ii. Press the Sync button on the transmitter. The Sync indicators will flash on both
channels in the Display, and the transmitter is ready to receive channel and frequency information from the receivers.
iii. With Sync flashing on the transmitter, press the Freq button on
the receiver you want to synchronize until the RF indicator flashes on the Display (see image). When the RF indicator flashes, the receiver will enter broadcast mode and transmit channel and frequency information via the 2.4 GHz frequency.
If the transmitter has not received a frequency from the receiver after 5 minutes, it will exit Sync mode and revert to the last set frequency. You can also press the Sync button a second time while the Display is flashing to exit automatic frequency selection mode.
iv. When synchronization is complete and the receiver exits broadcast mode, the RF
indicator will stop flashing on the receiver and the Sync indicator will stop flashing and disappear on the synchronized channel of the transmitter.
Important: If you are setting up a system using multiple receiver-transmitter pairs, set up each receiver one at a time and keep each receiver powered on as you set up additional units. This will prevent each pair from automatically selecting the same channel.
To manually select a frequency:
i. With Channel 1 or Channel 2 flashing on the transmitter (see above), press the Up/Down
buttons on the transmitter to increase (+) or decrease (-) the frequency and corresponding channel.
ii. When an acceptable frequency is found, press Freq again to exit manual frequency
selection mode. The frequency will stop flashing, and the new RF channel is now active.
4. Press the Vol button until the volume level of the appropriate channel flashes in the Display. Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume level. When finished, press the Vol button until the display stops flashing.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
The receiver does not produce any sound.
There is audible interference in the transmission.
The signal is distorted. Make sure the receiver is not immediately near any metal objects or
14
Make sure the receiver’s power adapter is properly connected to the power connector and a power source.
Make sure the receiver’s audio output is properly connected to your mixer, amplifier system, etc. Also, make sure the volume controls on your mixer and speaker are turned up.
Make sure both the transmitter and receiver are set to the same RF frequency and channel.
Make sure the receiver and transmitter are within 200 feet (60 meters) and have a clear line of sight. Also, make sure the receiver is not immediately near any metal objects or devices that could cause RF interference (other wireless systems, TVs, radio, etc.).
Adjust the squelch control setting. A higher squelch setting provides better protection against interference but may also reduce signal range. Choose a setting that most effectively mutes interference yet allows the true signal to pass through. If poor signal quality requires a higher squelch setting, try to eliminate the interference or switch the transmitter/receiver channel to avoid a loss of signal range.
