CAD Audio STAGESELECT IEM User's Guide

Individuals with cardiac pacemakers and other similar medical devices should consult with their
physician before using any RF devices. Though the output level of this wireless system is below 50
milliwatts, the proximity of the transmitter to the implant device could pose a threat.

As with any wireless product, environmental conditions can reduce or in some cases prohibit a
successful connection between the transmitter and the receiver.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Most users of
CAD Audio wireless products in the United States do not need a license for operation. However, the
rules for unlicensed operation state that this device must not operate in excess of 50 milliwatts and it
must not cause harmful interference to other wireless devices, and must accept interference received
from other devices. Wireless products meeting CAD factory standards adhere to these rules. The
FCC reserves the right to change these rules at any time. For more information contact the FCC at
1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at:

www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

StageSelectTM IEM

Introduction

Enjoy the exciting performance of the StageSelect™ IEM for your next
gig. CAD Audio has been creating high-value product since 1931 and
prides itself on supporting and developing the live performer. Our
design criterion was straightforward: develop a high-performance
wireless In-ear Monitor System that will deliver superior audio
performance while supplying advanced frequency agility, capable
enough to cope with today’s dynamic RF environment – make it both
easy to use and exciting to operate.

The StageSelect™ IEM Stereo Wireless In-ear Monitor System features
16 channel frequency agile performance for outstanding connectivity.
Stereo operation lends exibility of use – You may send discrete
signals to the left or right channel. High-performance MEB2 Monitor
Earbuds are included to make your listening experience top ight. The
MEB2 TruPitch™ Balanced-armature Earbuds provide accurate audio
reproduction while the EasyFit™ silicon earmolds provide a custom t.
The metal construction rack mountable transmitter is supplied with rack
ears, half-wave antenna, antenna-relocation kit and sturdy carry case.

The StageSelectTM IEM Stereo Wireless In-ear Monitor System
includes the following features:

• 16 Channel UHF Agility for frequency plan exibility

• Stereo Operation for discrete Right/Left transmission via
combination XLR-1/4" connectors

• MEB2 TruPitch™ Balanced-armature Earbuds provide accurate
audio reproduction while the EasyFit™ Silicon molds provide
a custom t

• AA batteries with >10hrs of battery life

• Metal Chassis Transmitter for a durable and formidable
shielded enclosure

• Transmitters have SofttouchTM Switches with multicolor
LED indicators of On/Mute and Low Battery

• 1/4" and XLR-type outputs for interfacing exibility

• Includes carry case, rack ears and antenna-relocation kit

WARNING!

USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE. PERMANENT HEARING
DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM USING THIS SYSTEM AT
EXCESSIVE VOLUMES.

For safe operation of this in-ear monitor system, do not listen at
excessive sound pressure levels.

Most national safety and health administrations have established
guidelines for maximum time being exposed to sound pressure levels
before hearing damage occurs.

85 dB(A) SPL at 8 hours

88 dB(A) SPL at 4 hours

91 dB(A) SPL at 2 hours

94 dB(A) SPL at 1 hour

97 dB(A) SPL at 30 minutes

100 dB(A) SPL at 15 minutes

120 dB(A) SPL — avoid or hearing damage may occur

In live settings it is difcult to make exact measurements of Sound
Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum, which is affected not only
by the In-ear Monitor volume, but by ambient sound on the stage and
other factors.

To protect your ears from hearing damage:

• Use the in-ear monitor system at the lowest volume possible;
turn up the volume only enough to hear.

• Be aware that ringing in your ears may indicate that the volume
is set too high.

• Have your ears examined regularly by an audiologist.

• If wax builds up in your ears, stop using the in-ear monitor system
until you have seen an audiologist.

• To avoid infections, use an antiseptic to wipe the earphones
before and after using the system.

• Stop using the earphones if you experience ear discomfort
or infection.
