Receiver Setup

1. Plug power supply cord into the back of the receiv­er and plug the power supply into an outlet. The
channel display & red/green “Diversity” light on the
receiver front panel should light up.

2. Depress “SET” button on front panel and release
when channel display starts to flash (about 3
seconds). This activates “ClearScan

TM

” to find an
interference free channel for operation. Note the
channel (0 - 9) shown on the receiver front panel
channel display.

3. Connect receiver audio output to mixer (or
amplifier if using guitar system). Mute or reduce
mixer/amp gain.

4. Orient receiver antennas angled up and away from
each other (at a 90 degree angle).

Transmitter Setup

1. Open battery compartment, install 9 Volt battery.
Make sure to observe proper battery polarity.

2. Adjust channel setting to match channel number
shown on receiver channel display. Replace
battery cover.

3. If using beltpack transmitter, plug the microphone
into the transmitter connector. If using guitar
system, connect

1

/4” plug into guitar.

Operating the system

1. Turn transmitter ON via the ON/OFF switch.
Yellow “Tx On” light should illuminate on the receiv­er front panel.

2. Turn audio switch to the ON position to unmute the
audio.

3. Set mixer/amp gain to normal position.

4. Talk/sing into the microphone or play the guitar at a
normal volume. You should hear audio coming out
of the system.

5. If the signal is distorted, turn the gain adjust con­trol on the transmitter down. If the signal level is
low, you may need to turn the gain adjust control
up.

6. If connected to the receiver

1

/

4” output jack on the

front panel, adjust gain (via the control next to the
connector) to correspond to the signal level found
when singing or playing through a wired system.

2. System Description

The Electro-Voice N/DYM Wireless is a series of 10 channel frequency agile UHF wireless systems that combine
EV’s legendary quality and reliability with high value. The N/DYM Series transmitters and receivers operate in the
UHF frequency range on one of ten channels between 800 and 814 MHz. The well-designed audio circuitry
ensures excellent signal-to-noise ratio with accurate sound quality.

System Features

• 10 Channel Frequency Agile UHF system operation.

• Featuring “ClearScanTM” which makes for quick and
easy system setup.

• Handheld transmitters feature EVs’ N/DYM mic
elements, for superior sound quality.

• True-diversity system with Secure-Phase

TM

ensures

maximum range and freedom from interference.

• Well-designed companding and audio circuitry
insures high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent
sound quality.

• Choice of two handheld and four bodypack
systems, including a system specifically for guitar.

• Permanently attached antennas make setup quick
and easy.

• Receivers may be rack-mounted with optional kit.

• Audio output via 3-pin XLR-type balanced mic level
and

1

/4-inch unbalanced line level connectors.

3 Detailed Setup Instructions

3.1 Receiver Setup & Operation

1. Place the receiver where there is a clear line of
sight to the area where the transmitter will be
used. Rotate the receiver’s antennas and
separate them 90 degrees (see Figure 1).

2. Connect the power supply cord to the receiver.
Plug the power supply into an AC outlet Confirm
that the receiver is ON by checking for the lit
red/green Diversity light and channel

display on the front panel.
NOTE: Upon power-up, the receiver will return to

the channel it was set to when it was turned off.

CAUTION: Please make sure that the AC
adapter is the correct voltage for your local
requirements.

3 ClearScan

TM

: The N/DYM Wireless system fea-

tures ClearScanTM. ClearScanTMautomates the
process of finding a clear channel to use in setup
of your N/DYM Wireless system. To use
ClearScan

TM

, depress and hold down the set but-
ton for 3 seconds. When the channel display
begins flashing release the set button. The receiv­er is now searching for a clear frequency, by
measuring the RF energy present on each chan­nel. The entire process will take about 5 seconds.

While scanning, the channel display will show the
channel number being scanned. When
ClearScan

TM

is complete, the display will stop
flashing and it will display the number of the chan­nel recommended for use.

NOTE: If using more than one N/DYM system, set
up ONE system at a time. Turn on the transmitter
for the first system, before using ClearScan

TM

to
set up the second. Please see the “Guideline/
Recommendations for best performance” section
to setup more than two systems.

4. Setting the channel. Changing the channel on
the receiver can also be done manually. By
momentarily depressing the Set button, the

channel number is increased by one.

NOTE: When the system is turned off, the
channel number is saved in non-volatile memory.
When the receiver is turned on, it will return to the
same channel number.

ENGLISH

5. Channel change lock-out. Once the channel has
been set on the receiver, the N/DYM system has
the capability to deactivate or lock-out the
channel change button. This is done by
depressing the set button for 10 seconds or more.
Lock-out is active when the decimal point illumi­nates in the lower right corner of the
channel display. This will defeat the set button. To
override or defeat the lockout function, again
depress the set button for 10 seconds. This will
reactivate the channel set button to work
normally. This function can be useful when the
wireless is in a location where unauthorized per­sonnal have access to the receiver.

NOTE: If the system is in “lock-out”, ClearScan

TM

will not function.

6. Make sure the gain setting is muted or turned
down on the mixer channel or amplifier input you
will connect the wireless system to.

7. Plug the audio cable (not supplied) into either out­put connector.

NOTE: The 3-pin XLR-type connector is the
preferred choice since the output is balanced.
Either connector may be used with good results. If
the

1

/

4-inch connector is being used, turn the

volume level control (see Figure 1) on the front
panel to the twelve o’clock position (midway in the
control’s range).

NOTE: The 3-pin XLR-type connector output level
is fixed, and cannot be adjusted.

Now refer ahead to details on how to set up the
transmitter.

Once the Transmitter has been set-up, and
turned on….

8. Speak into the microphone or play the guitar. Turn
up the level on the mixer or preamp until you’re
able to hear the desired signal.

NOTE: If using the

1

/4” jack output, It may be
necessary to adjust the receiver’s output until
the volume level from the wireless system approxi­mates the level of an equivalent wired microphone
or instrument.

9. “Walk” the expected area of use to check for
dropouts or interference. If problems occur, see
the troubleshooting section.

10. Adjust the squelch control if necessary. The
squelch control on the back of the receiver may be
adjusted to effectively increase range or to reduce
interference. The factory setting is at a midpoint,
which should be suitable for most situations. To
effectively increase range, turn the control counter­clockwise until you hear noise or interference.
Then, turn the squelch clockwise until the noise is
muted. To reduce interference, turn the control
clockwise.

NOTE: If the squelch is being adjusted, the trans­mitter should be turned off.

Caution! Increasing the range will make the
system more susceptible to outside interfer­ence! Reducing interference will also effective­ly decrease the range, which will make the sys­tem more susceptible to dropouts.
