DHX and DHXR4 Systems
Thank you for choosing the Galaxy Audio DHX or DHXR4 Wireless Microphone Syste m. You h ave j oined hu ndreds o f tho usa nds o f other satisfie d Galaxy customers. Since 1977 Galaxy Audio’s professional experience in design and manufacturing ensure our products quality, performance and reliability.
For users who need an advanced UHF wireless system, the DHX and DHXR4 provides an excellent solution. With 120 selectable channels, they are perfect for applications such as live shows, br oadcast, meetings, & musica l instruments. Touch buttons and liquid crystal displays allow for a quick and simple system setup. The “Quick Start Guide” included in your system will provide all the details you need to operate the system efficiently.
Frequency Band
Most countries closely regulate the radio frequencies used in the transmission of wireless infor mation. The se re gulations stat e whi ch de vices c an us e whi ch frequencies, and help to limit the amount of RF (radio frequency) interference in all wireless communications. The DHXR4 offers 120 selectable channels within either the 584-607MHz (Code D), 655-679MHz (Code L) or 518-535MHz (Code N) frequency ranges.
To facilitate system setup and protect against RF interference, e ach system comes with multiple predefined frequency groups an d channels. When using a single receiver/transmitter, the operating frequency will generally not have to be changed. In an installation with multiple receivers/transmitters, each set must operate on a separate channel from the others. The group and channel system provides an optimum frequency spread when using multiple receiver/transmitter systems.

The 3 position Sensitivity Adjustment helps to prevent extraneous RF from being picked up and turned into audio when the transmitter is off. The higher level will reduce the useable distance of the transmitter from the receiver. Use the lowest setting that keeps the receiver quiet when the transmitter is off.
The DHXR4 now utilizes Tone Key Squelch. This keeps the receiver channel muted until it receives the inaudible tone from its transmitter. This keeps the channel quiet when the transmitter is off, even if something else is transmitting on the frequency on which the channel is set.

Transmitting Frequency Automatic Setup:
Place the Transmitter “IR” window to face the Receiver “IR” window. Then press the “ADS” button on the desired Receiver. The Transmitter will automatically match the Receiver frequency.
Attention: The distance between the Receiver and Transmitter IR windows should be less than 0.5m during the ADS IR setup. When setting up multiple Transmitters/Receivers, activate the ADS function of only one Transmitter and Receiver at a time.

Setting Up Multiple Receivers
1) Power on any pre-existing wireless systems and transmitters (excluding DHXR/DHXR4).
2) Power on the DHXR/DHXR4 Receiver, do not turn on the DHXR/DHXR4 transmitters.
3) On the DHXR or the first channel of the DHXR4, press the SET button until scan flashes, then press either the up or down button. The receiver will then scan for an open frequency channel within the group selected, and stop on the frequency.
When the DHXR4 Receiver has been set to a clear frequency, use the ADS/ASC feature to sync the receiver frequency to the transmitter.
4) Power on the transmitter for the DHXR or the first channel of the DHXR4, and sync it to the receiver using the ADS/ASC feature. Turn the transmitter on and aim its IR window towards the IR SYNC window at the left side of the DHXR/DHXR4, then press the ADS/ASC button on the desired receiver channel, and the transmitter will automatically set to the receiver’s frequency.
5) For using more channels on the DHXR4, leave the first channel transmitter on and repeat steps 3 and 4 for the second DHXR4 channel.
6) Continue this process for the 3rd and 4th channel of the DHXR4.
7) If the receiver is unable to find open frequencies on the group selected, you will need to set one or more receiver channels to another group, and then scan again.
8) To change the group, press the SET button twice, the group number will begin to flash. Use the up or down button to select another group. Then proceed as before.
9) If you have more than one DHXR or DHXR4 system, continue the process as described, adding one channel at a time.
If you have more DHXR or DHXR4 systems to tune follow the same procedure on each one, always leaving the previous system transmitter on.

Troubleshooting
Maintain a line of sight between transmitters and antennas. Avoid placing the receiver near metal surfaces or any digital equipment (CD players, computers, etc). Keep the receiver away from the wall and at least 1m from the ground. Cellular telephones and two-way radios can interfere with the operation of wireless systems. Do not use these devices in close proximity to the wireless systems.
Tips for Improving System Performance
Issue Indicator Status Solution
Turn on transmitter. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly.
Make sure AC adapter is securely plugged into electrical outlet and into DC input connector on rear panel of receiver.
Increase receiver volume. Make sure Gain adjustment switch on the transmitter is set correctly (applies only to MBP77 Body Pack.)
Make sure Transmitter and Receiver are set to the same frequency. Make sure Transmitter is in range of Receiver. Make sure no large metal objects are near Transmitter or Receiver.
Change the batteries in transmitter.
Remove nearby sources of RF interference (CD players, computers, in-ear monitor systems, etc.) Use Auto Scan to find a clear Channel
Adjust Transmitter Gain and Receiver Volume as necessary.
Replace Transmitter batteries.

ANT-PDL - Directional antenna used to decrease interference to other equipment. Frequency range 500-900MHz The UHF wide-band (500-900 MHZ) directional LPDA (log periodic dipole array) antenna reduces outside interference while providing increased send/receive signal range. Each antenna paddle is matched to 50 ohms impedance with a low-loss BNC connector; 7dBi gain. For permanent or temporary installation; mounts to 5/8"-27 threads.
ANT-AMPMIC - Antenna Amplifier utilizes phantom power and a low noise design which covers all UHF frequency points from 500mHz to 900mHz. Metal construction, requires phantom power (9VDC), 50 ohm input/output impedance.
MREWD - Rack kit for dual mounting two DHXR receivers into a single rack space.

FCC Consumer Alert for Wireless Microphones (U.S.)
Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a lice nse is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection fr om interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and th ese rules are subject to change.
For more information, call 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/wir elessmicrophones

The frequencies of the Galaxy UHF Wireless Systems are on frequencies that are used by Digital Television stations.
To be assured of the best performance, you should determine on what RF channels the DTV stations in your area are broadcasting, then set your wireless systems on frequencies that are not being used.
You can find that information on this FCC web site.
https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps
Enter the zip code of the location where the wireless system will be used into the location search bar. A list of stations in that area will be listed. Click on the call sign of the stations and the details will appear, showing you the RF channel the TV station is using. Compare these with the chart to the left, and using the Galaxy frequency charts on page 16, find a frequency that is not on an active DTV RF channel.
For example, if you have an L-Band DHXR and your location has DTV stations on RF channels 45 and 48, you will want to set your DHXR on a frequency that is on RF channel 46 or 47.
