RF MODE SELECTION
Two modes provide the user with two different solutions to address
local conditions and needs.
RF1 mode provides maximum protection against interference. And
provides the most interference free performance when Wi-Fi speed or
access is not a priority.
RF2 mode provides room for 2 additional audio channels with slightly
improved latency and is best in environments where the Wi-Fi is well
controlled or can be turned off.
By default, current Line 6 systems are set to RF2 mode (14 channel –
2 carrier mode). Alternately they may be switched to RF1 mode (12
channel – 4 carrier mode).
The current mode of operation will appear in the LCD window (XD-V
55/75) of the transmitter while it powers up. Alternately you can
determine the mode while performing a “scan” in the “setup” mode.
In this mode all Line 6 transmitters operating will show “To” (RF1
mode) or “Tx” (RF2) on the top line above the scan bars.
CAUTION: you must select all systems (including Relay
instrument systems) to operate exclusively on one or the other
RF mode. You will likely take systems off the air if you
accidently try to operate both modes simultaneously.
Mode selection takes place in the transmitters. Receivers (v2.x and
above) will automatically switch over.
To Set The THH12 Or TBP12 Transmitters (Including Relay
G50/90):
• Enter Setup mode to display the current channel
Hold down the SELECT button until CHANNEL appears on the screen
and continue holding SELECT. Then press and release the ON/MUTE
button on the THH12 or VALUE button on the TBP12, then release the
SELECT button. The display will briefly show [XD-V75 RF1] or [XD-V75
RF2] to indicate whether it is operating in the old or new mode,
respectively. This setting is retained when the transmitter is powered
off.

A more detailed explanation of the RF modes is here …

Typically you can simultaneously run up to 12 channels in RF 1 mode,
even in the presence of a moderate RF floor (provided there are no
transmitters in the direct vicinity of the XDV receiver’s antennas). In
RF2 mode you can typically run 8 simultaneous channels with one
active Wi-Fi channel in operation … but … you must carefully assign
the Line 6 channels to correspond with the Wi-Fi channel in operation.
You can “scan” for the best available channels by pushing the “setup”
button and selecting operation “2”. Operating all 14 channels together
usually requires the absence of any 2.4G Wi-Fi channels in operation in
the area of intended operation.
ANTENNA PASS-THROUGHS
Up to four XDV-75 receivers can be connected to a single pair of whip
or paddle antennas using the built-in antenna pass through jacks. It is
important to connect these jacks using the supplied LMR-195 BNC/BNC
cables, as they are double shielded. This avoids unwanted signal
leakage from cable to cable in close quarters.
Connect external antennas to the A & B jacks on receiver 1. Then
connect the A & B antenna out jacks on receiver 1 to the A & B
antenna input jacks on receiver 2 and continue to loop through. No
terminators are required nor should they be used on the last receiver
in the chain.
Note: the last receiver in the chain could be an XDV-55 model if
desired.
AD-8 ANTENNA DISTRO
Larger systems can be setup using the AD-8 antenna distribution
system, which can also supply operating power to up to 8 receivers
(XDV-75 or 55).
Connect external antennas to either the front or rear antenna input
connectors (BNC) and select the input using the front panel switch.
Connect each set of antenna outputs to an individual receiver using
