  2. Insert the 2nd antenna into 12–15 V DC BNC connector (11).
  3. Point the antennas away from each other at an angle of 45° (Fig. 13).

Note:

  • Do not use the antennas near metal surfaces or other obstructions.
  • Make sure that the antennas do not cross when multiple wireless systems are used.

Connecting to Power Supply

Attention
Incorrect handling of the AC power adapter may result in hazardous situations

This device is delivered with an AC power adapter. Incorrect handling of the AC power adapter may result in hazardous situations.

  • Connect the receiver to the socket outlet with the delivered AC power adapter. Use only the AC power adapter delivered with the device.
  • Make sure that the socket outlet is easily accessible.
  • Disconnect the AC power adapter from the socket outlet when the device is not in use.

Power Linking of Multiple Devices

  • This receiver supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another receiver via the 12–15 V DC power connector OUT (19).
  • Power linking of multiple devices must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.

To prevent overload of the electrical circuit, when power linking multiple devices:

  • Use cables with sufficient current-carrying capacity. The power adapter supplied with the device is not suitable for power linking of multiple devices.
  • Make sure that the total current draw of the device and all connected devices does not exceed the rated capacity of the power adapter, power cables and the circuit breaker.
  • Do not link more devices on one power link than the maximum recommended number.

Setup Example

  • It is possible to connect up to 8 receivers and 16 transmitters and to install accessories. See 3.5. Optional Accessories on page 11 for more information.
  • The unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas receive the signal from the transmitter(s) and send it to the first receiver. The first receiver sends the signal to the other connected receivers.
  • Connect the 12–15 V DC BNC cascade connectors (12/21) of the first receiver to the 12–15 V DC BNC connectors (08/11) of the second receiver. Repeat this step to connect multiple receivers as shown in Fig. 14.
  • The unidirectional/omnidirectional antennas are not supplied with the device. See 3.5. Optional Accessories on page 11.

Connecting the Receiver to Mixer/Amplifier

Attention

  • Connect all data cables before supplying power.
  • Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.

The receiver has 2 balanced 3-pin XLR output connectors.

To connect the receiver to a mixer or an amplifier:

  1. Make sure that the receiver is not connected to power supply and the volume is turned down.
  2. Make sure that the mixer or the amplifier are switched off and the volume is turned down.
  3. Use a 3-pin XLR audio cable to connect the 3-pin XLR AF balanced OUT (13/16) of the receiver to the XLR input connector of the mixer/amplifier.
