INTRODUCTION TO THE XDR95 DIGITAL UHF WIRELESS
Created specifically for performing and recording musicians who demand to be untethered without compromis­ing their sound, the XDR95 24-bit digital wireless system delivers your tone and performance with the sound and feel of a direct wire connection all with extended range and added protection from outside RF interference.
X2’s proprietary digital technology provides superior fidelity while the XDR95’s rack-mount receiver houses a micro-processor that selects the digital data stream from among the four internal receivers to eliminate dropouts and interference including DTV and other digital signal sources. You’ll enjoy the sound and performance of a direct wire connection free from compander ICs ­and the associated ’pumping’ and ’breathing’ - that squash your tone, as well as other problems associated with analog wireless technology.
Operating the system is unlike any wireless you’ve tried before. Simply connect the transmitter to the source via the 1/8" threaded-collar locking connector and the rack-mount receiver to your amplifier or mixer. Then power up making sure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel. That’s it. You’re ready to go! No knobs to adjust and no complicated menus to scroll through mean you’re up and running in the time it would take to connect a cable. For greater operating range, attach the included 1/2 wave antenna to the BNC connectors on the back panel of the receiver. And for even greater flexibility, the system ships complete with a front-mount antenna kit that allows you to bring the BNC connectors and antenna out to the front of the receiver unit.

Power, Signal Source, Cables or RF
Signal Source, Cables or RF
RF
Power
Make certain that the transmitter and receiver are receiving sufficient power. The receiver requires 9V DC at 500ma. The transmitter requires 9V DC via alkaline 9V battery. Check the battery status indicator on the transmitter and replace if neces­sary.
Signal Source
Make certain that the source is operating as desired by checking source power, signal levels and connections. If necessary, bypass digital wireless transmission and check the source directly.
Cables
Make certain that all connections and cables are in working order.
RF
Turn all known transmitters off. Check to see if the red RF LED on the receiver’s front panel is lit. If it is not lit, then the receiver is not detecting the presence of RF signal on the currently selected channel. If it is lit, then the receiver is detecting the presence of unknown RF signal. Check to see if any of the green Receiver LEDs are lit. If any are lit, then the receiver is detecting the presence of another X2 transmitter set to the same channel. Locate this unit and either turn it off or switch chan­nels. If none of the green Receiver LEDs are lit, then the receiver is detecting confirmed RF signal from a source other than an X2 transmitter. Change the channel and repeat these steps to locate a clear channel.

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
RF Interference
An X2 Digital transmission is not susceptible to interference in the traditional ‘analog’ wireless sense. An X2 receiver will only pass digital data that originated from an X2 transmitter set to the same operating channel. If this transmitter has a custom encryption scheme, a standard X2 receiver will no longer be able to recognize or reproduce the signal. RF interference for X2 systems will only become noticeable when a system’s range has been adversely affected or when the red RF indicator is lit without the desired transmitter in use. In most cases, the system will still operate reliably with a reduced performance range even when RF interference is present on your channel. Due to the anti-interference/anti-jamming technology available with the XDR-95 system, the chance of having a performance negatively impacted by RF interference is greatly reduced.
Increasing Range
Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary the minimum and maximum performance range. There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitters and receiving antennas. For best results, maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver antennas. Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other sources of RF interference (such as CD players, computers, digital effects, network switches, network cables, etc.). We recommend that you employ remote antennas when the receiver position is not the best antenna position for optimum reception. For multiple systems, make certain that each system is operating on it’s own separate channel.
Multi-channel Operation
For multi-channel operation, it is recommended that you only use channels that are not in use by other performers. Before powering on additional transmitters, we recommend performing a quick RF scan. This is done at the receiver unit by selecting unused channels and checking for the presence of RF energy via the RF indicator on the front panel. If the channel is open, power on the desired transmitter and set it to the open channel. NOTE: When operating more than one system, maintain a minimum distance of 3 ft. from all other receiving antenna that are connected to systems other than your system.

Q-DIVERSITYPLUS™ FREQUENCY DIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY
What does it do?
Allows XDR95 to provide reliable performance under adverse RF conditions.
What is it?
A dual-frequency broadcast system that maximizes data isolation from undesired interference. It can also be thought of as two completely separate ‘true-diversity’ systems operating in tandem. RX 1 and 4 work together to receive the lower frequency while RX 2 and 3 work together to receive the upper frequency.
Do other types of technology use dual-frequency broadcast?
Multiple frequency broadcasts are not unique. OFDM would be an example of splitting up data over multiple frequencies. However, X2’s proprietary Q-DiversityPLUS is unique for real-time audio applications.
Why do we need it?
Wireless systems are subject to increased interference due to known and unknown sources of RF interference, including DTV, cell phones, blackberrys and networking devices. XDR95 was designed to address the needs of professional wireless users requiring consistent reliable performance even in adverse conditions without any loss to sound quality.
How does it work?
In the transmitter, a proprietary digital data stream that includes a digital representation of the audio signal is split and modulated on two separate RF carrier frequencies. The receiver contains a quadraplex of separate receiver sections that work simultane­ously to receive the two RF signals. Two receiver sections are directly connected to two internal antennae, while two others are fed RF signals via two chassis mounted BNC connectors. These sections work simultaneously to receive the two RF signals that contain the transmitted digital data.
Why is it better?
Q-DiversityPLUS allows the XDR95 to exceed other wireless systems in terms of freedom from negative audio side-effects of increased interference and longevity of performance in the field.
