A VERSION

Thirty two frequencies are available which have been accurately selected to allow the simultaneous use of 4 frequency without interference between them:

WM700 / WM700D RECEIVER

See FIG. 1 at page 15:

1. DC IN
   Socket for the AC/DC adaptor connection, use only the adaptor supplied with the system.

2. OUTPUT (UNBALANCED)
   Unbalanced output with line level: connect it through a mono 6.3mm jack cable to a mixer input.

3. OUTPUT (BALANCED)
   Balanced output with mic level: connect it through a XLR cable to a mixer input.

4. POWER
   On/off switch.

5. VOLUME (channel A or B)
   Volume potentiometer: set this control to a proper level that doesn’t saturate the mixer input channel.
