Multi path reections

FM waves, like light waves, travel in a straight direction unless reected
o objects in their path. Because of this, two sets of waves reach your
antenna from the FM station; those that have traveled directly to the
antenna, and those that have been reected o buildings or mountains.
When the antenna receives both kinds of signals, the two interfere with
each other and result in distorted sound and poor separation. This phenomenon is called "multi path reection". To reduce this problem, select
an antenna with good directivity and place it in the best location with
strong reception.

• DISPLAY: LCD display showing the active information relevant to the current operation of the
HR70.
• MIC/LINE: When pressed in, the gain of the XLR Mic In is reduced by 30 dB.
• CLIP: LED for indication of when the circuit is over driven/clipping.
• MUTE: When pressed unit will MUTE.
• LEVEL: Adjusts the level of output.
• FREQUENCY UP / DN: Selects the frequency that the HR70 is transmitting.
• RELEASE TIME: Adjusts the amount of time for the “ducked” signal to return to its normal level.
Counterclockwise; slow - Clockwise; fast.
• MIC LEVEL: Adjusts the amount of gain for the Mic In circuit.
• DUCK SENSITIVITY: The Threshold at which “ducking” begins. When the microphone level
reaches the threshold, the signal present at the Line In jacks is reduced until the announcement
is over, then the Line In signal returns to its previous level.
A NOTE ON THE HR70 THRESHOLD SETTING, WITH THE SENSITIVITY CONTROL FULLY CLOCKWISE: If a signal is
on the XLR input, the ducking will begin (the threshold is) at -30 dB when the Mic/Line switch is set to “Mic”,
and 0 dB when the switch is set to “Line”. If the control signal is on the RCA input, ducking begins at -30 dB.
CONNECTION
- Connect the Rolls supplied adapter to the VDC power jack of the HR70, then to an AC outlet
with the proper voltage.
- Connect the HR70 Left and Right line input to a mixer, or other audio device.
WE RECOMMEND TURNING THE DUCK SENSITIVITY FULLY CLOCKWISE (ALL THE WAY
UP) TO START. THIS IS THE HIGHEST SENSITIVITY AND MOST DUCKING AVAILABLE ON
THE UNIT.
OPERATION
If you are using a condenser microphone, switch the Phantom Power on. Set the level of the music signal
(Line In) for a comfortable level. Speak into the microphone and adjust the Mic Level for a comfortable level,
then adjust the Sensitivity so that the music is muted when speaking with a normal voice. Set the Release
Time control for the amount of time you wish for the Aux In signal to return to normal.
