INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Model RN-2 is a audio mixer for combining two
microphones or two speaker/microphones into one
audio zone. It is mounted between the two microphones
and the Louroe base station or other receiving
equipment. Contains an adjustment potentiometer for
microphone balance control. The RN-2 is powered by
the Louroe base station. If the base station is not used
and RN-2 is interfaced directly with other equipment
(VCR, etc.), then 12 Vdc power must be applied to
terminals A and C of either the input or output terminal
block of the RN-2.

NOTE: RN-2 is a mixer for combining two microphones or two speaker/microphones to

create a larger audio monitoring zone. Both microphones serve as one zone.
They are NOT on separate channels

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MECHANICAL

RN-2 can be installed to a wall or flat surface with mounting screws or by using a strong double
backed adhesive tape. It is located between the microphones and the Louroe base station.

WIRING CONNECTION FROM MICROPHONES TO RN-2

I. Bring in wiring from first Louroe microphone (or speaker/microphone) to INPUT side of RN-2
and connect as follows:

1. Wire from terminal A of microphone goes to A of RN-2

2. Wire from terminal B of microphone goes to B1 of RN-2

3. Wire from terminal C of microphone goes to C of RN-2

If microphone includes a speaker, speaker wires connect as follows:

(a) Positive connection from speaker connects to SP terminal of RN-2
(b) Ground connection from speaker connects to C terminal of RN-2

II. Bring in wiring from second microphone (or speaker/microphone) to INPUT side of RN-2 and

connect as follows::

1. Wire from terminal A of second microphone goes to A of RN-2

2. Wire from terminal B of second microphone goes to B2 of RN-2

3. Wire from terminal C of second microphone goes to C of RN-2

If microphone includes a speaker, speaker wires are doubled up with first speaker at terminals C
and SP of INPUT side.

CONNECTING RN-2 TO LOUROE BASE STATION

From OUTPUT side of RN-2, make connection to the Louroe base station as follows:

1. Terminal A of output goes to terminal A of base station

2. Terminal B of output goes to terminal B of base station

3. Terminal C of output goes to terminal C of base station

4. If speakers are included, terminals C and SP from OUTPUT side connect with C and

SP of base station.

MICROPHONE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

Located on the output side of the RN-2 Mixer is an adjustment potentiometer for microphone

balance. If more volume is desired from microphone connected to the B-1 input side, turn
potentiometer counterclockwise toward the B-1 arrow. If more volume is desired from microphone
connected to the B-2 input side, turn potentiometer clockwise toward the B-2 arrow. For equal
volume from the two microphones, position potentiometer to the center.

NOTE: DISTANCE BETWEEN MICROPHONE AND BASE STATION SHOULD NOT

EXCEED 1,000’. THE RN-2 MIXER GAIN IS LIMITED THAT IT MAY NOT
SATISFACTORILY DRIVE AN AUDIO LINE OF MORE THAN 1000’.
