Operation
Receiver
1. Plug the AC/DC adapter (provided) into
the 9VDC INPUT JACK (3) on the back of the
receiver. Then plug the power supply into
an AC outlet. Switch the POWER (1) to the
“On” position. The POWER ON LED (2) will
now light and the receiver is operational.
2. Rotate and extend ANTENNA (4) fully,
angled at 60° position as shown.
3. The 1/4” AUDIO OUTPUT JACK (5) provides
a fixed, unbalanced MIC level audio output
for connection to your mixer with the 1/4”
to 1/4” cord supplied. As when making any
connection, make sure the mixing board’s
volume is at the minimum level before
plugging in the receiver to avoid possible
sound system damage. Use the VOLUME
CONTROLS (6) to adjust the volume.
Note: this output is the sum of the signals received
by both the internal receivers (CH 1 + CH 2).
Use the CH 1 & CH 2 VOLUME CONTROLS (6)
to adjust the individual relative channel volumes.
