Choice of microphones

Bellman Audio Domino contains two microphone options so that you can eas­ily switch between an omnidirectional and a directional microphone.

The microphones on both the Receiver Unit and Transmitter Unit have this
function.

The Receiver Unit remembers the previously selected microphone setting
if you switch between the internal microphone and the Transmitter Unit’s
microphone.

With the directional microphone you can ”point” towards the sound source
that you are interested in listening to while reducing sound from other
directions. This is particularly useful in dicult listening situations such as in
crowds or in very noisy environments.

External sound source

If the audio cable supplied, (which has a small 2.5 mm jack plug on one end), or
if the External Microphone is connected to the Transmitter Unit’s
external sound source input (20), the Transmitter Unit’s internal microphone
will be disconnected and the external sound source will be automatically
selected. The Battery Status LED blinks orange several times to conrm that
an external sound source has been connected. The External Sound LED (4) will
light up green and orange at the same time to indicate that the sound is com­ing from an external sound source.

If the audio cable is disconnected, the sound will be reconnected to the Trans­mitter Unit’s microphone again.

With the audio cable connected between a Transmitter Unit and a TV, hi-
equipment, MP3 player or similar sound source you can listen to absolutely rst
class stereo sound without being limited by cables.

The input sensitivity is automatically adjusted to suit dierent sound sources.

External microphone

You can connect an external microphone to the Transmitter’s 2.5 mm socket
(20). The Battery Status LED blinks orange several times to conrm that an ex­ternal sound source has been connected. The External Sound LED (4) will light
up green and orange at the same time to indicate that the sound is coming
from an external sound source.

66

In some cases it may, for example, be easier for a lecturer to have an external
microphone and a Transmitter Unit in his/her pocket than to speak in a loud
voice or carry a wired microphone.

A Transmitter Unit can transmit speech to one or more Receiver Units at the
same time.

The input sensitivity is automatically adjusted to a suitable amplication when
an external microphone is connected.

Please note that the Transmitter Unit’s Battery Status LED (17) blinks alter­nately green and orange several times when an external sound source is
connected.

Combined signal
sources

When you are listening via
the Transmitter Unit’s micro­phone or an External Sound
Source, this sound can be
combined with the sound
that the internal microphone
in the Receiver Unit is receiv­ing. Choose to listen on the
Transmitter Unit by pressing
the R button (7). Hold down

the M button (5) until both the MIC (2) and RF LEDs (4) light up.

The sound from the Trans­mitter Unit is mixed with
the sound from the internal
microphone. You can adjust
the balance between the
Receiver Unit and the Trans­mitter Unit’s microphone
by holding down the M
button(5) at the same time as
setting the balance using the
< (11) or > buttons (12).

If you want to go back to listening on the Transmitter Unit, press the R-button
(7) and if you want to switch over to listening on the internal microphone, press
the M button (5) instead.

Wireless digital transfer

Bellman Audio Domino uses the latest radio communications technology to
digitally transfer sound with an exceptionally high sound quality in stereo.
The radio transmission is encrypted to ensure the highest level of security and
condentiality.

Radio communication takes place on 2.4 GHz which is a frequency range
whose use is permitted throughout the world.

68

Battery indicator

The Battery Status LED (3, 17) normally lights up green. This indicates that the
unit is switched on and the battery level is satisfactory.

When the battery is low, the Battery Status LED (3, 17) blinks green until the
battery is almost completely at when it blinks orange instead. As soon as it
blinks green it is time to charge the unit again. If the unit is not charged, it is
switched o automatically.

Charging starts automatically when you connect a charger to the Charging
Socket (14, 21). Charging in progress is indicated on both the charger and
the units by an orange light. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator
changes to green and the battery is continuously trickle charged until the
charger is disconnected.

Establishing a temporary link with another Transmitter Unit

The radio link between the Transmitter and Receiver Units in the Bellman Audio
Domino must be established in order for radio communication to operate. To
make it easier to get started, Receiver Units and Transmitter Units which are
supplied together are always paired up so that they will work together.

Whenever you want to listen on another Transmitter Unit you can establish a
temporary link with it. As soon as you switch o the Receiver Unit it returns to
working with the paired Transmitter Unit again.

Proceed as follows to establish a temporary radio link between a transmitter
and a receiver:

• Start both the units with the On/O buttons i (6, 18).

• Hold down CONNECT (19) on the Transmitter Unit.

• Hold down both the M button (5) and the R button (7) on the Receiver Unit.

A ”running light” on the
Receiver Unit’s Volume
and Tone LED Indicator (8)
moving towards the centre
indicates that the link has
been established.

The link can only be established while the Transmitter Unit’s connection button
is pressed down - this is for safety reasons to prevent a Receiver from being
able to connect to another Transmitter unobserved.

Please note that it is possible to connect several Receiver Units to the same
Transmitter Unit by repeating the above procedure. There is, however, a risk
that the number of receivers may aect the performance of the system.
