System Applications
Refer to the following PSM300 system scenarios prior to installation.
Understanding the configuration options before setting up helps to identify
signal routing requirements and plan for future expansion. Specific
information on how to set up the PSM300 system and create mixes for monitoring
can be found in the “System Setup and Configuration” and “Operation” sections
of this user guide.
Single System for an Individual Performer
This configuration provides inear monitoring in a solo performance, or in a
group performance in which only one person re quires wireless monitoring. This
system can be expanded for multiple performers by using additional P3R
bodypack receivers tuned to the same transmitter.
Single Transmitter with Multiple Receivers
Multiple performers can monitor audio from the same transmitter and still
adjust the signal at their bodypack to personalize the mix. Simply tune each
bodypack to the same frequency as the transmitter and use the MixMode knob to
adjust the mix.
MixMode or Stereo Operation:
Each performer has the option of setting their bodypack to MixMode or Stereo
when the transmitter is set to Stereo-MX. When the bodypack is powered on, it
is set to stereo by default. To operate in MixMode, hold the GROUP button when
turning the power on. For information on these modes, see “MixMode and Stereo
Monitoring”.
12/36
Shure Incorporated
Multiple Transmitters with Separate Mixes
When several performers in a group have different monitoring requirements,
multiple PSM300 systems may be used simulta neously to send different mixes
through each transmitter. This setup requires a mixer with two
monitor/auxiliary outputs for each transmitter.
Tip: To simplify setup in applications that involve multiple transmitters,
Shure offers the PA411 antenna and power distribution system, which supplies
up to four PSM transmitters with power and RF from a single source.
Signal Routing to External Devices (Combination Systems)
The LOOP outputs pass audio to an external device, such as other personal
monitoring systems, recording devices, or stage monitors. The signal at the
LOOP outputs is identical to the signal coming from the mixer, and is not
affected by the transmitter volume or input sensitivity (line/aux) settings.
This makes the LOOP outputs particularly useful when using a mixer that has
one or two monitor/auxiliary sends.
13/36
Shure Incorporated
Using the PSM300 simultaneously with Loudspeakers:
A combination monitoring system can be used, where some of the performers are
using the PSM300 wireless system and oth ers are listening through
loudspeakers on stage.
Note: If using passive stage monitors, the P3T outputs must be connected to an
amplifier. Active (amplified) speakers can be connected directly to the P3T
outputs.
Using the PSM300 Combined with Other Wireless Monitoring Systems
In a scenario where two performers have their own wireless monitoring systems
(one Shure PSM300 system and one thirdparty system, for example), the PSM300
can pass the signal from the mixer on to the second monitoring system.
System Setup and Configuration
Rack Mounting
The P3T Transmitter can be mounted in a standard 19inch rack. Up to two units
can be mounted in a single rack space. If us ing multiple P3T transmitters,
the Shure PA411 Antenna Combiner system can be used to consolidate and
distribute all RF and power for up to four transmitters.
14/36
Shure Incorporated
Note: Always use both straddle bars when mounting two units.
Power, Audio, and RF Connections
1. Use the power adapter to connect the P3T to an AC power source. 2. Install
2 AA batteries in the bodypack receiver. 3. Attach the antenna to the BNC
antenna connector on the P3T rear panel. 4. Connect the mixer or audio source
to the P3T audio inputs using ¼ inch balanced cables.
Important: When connecting to only one transmitter input, use the LEFT/CH1
input. Set the transmitter to MONO to hear audio on both channels of the
receiver.
15/36
Shure Incorporated
Scanning for the Best Open Channel
Follow these steps to scan the RF environment and find the best available
frequency for operation: 1. Turn on the bodypack receiver and any potential
sources of interference, including wireless systems, computers, audio
equipment, cellular phones, LED panels, and other electronic devices that will
be in use during a performance. 2. Make sure the P3T transmitter is OFF. 3.
Position the receiver in the performance area and press SCAN to survey the
available channels within the current group setting. If using several PSM300
systems or operating in a location with a high volume of wireless devices,
perform a group scan first, followed by a channel scan: Group Scan: Press and
hold the SCAN button on the receiver. Channel Scan: Press the SCAN button on
the receiver.
Creating a Wireless Connection Between Receivers and Transmitters (Sync)
To pass audio from the transmitter to the receiver, both must be tuned to the
same frequency. The easiest way to configure the system is to use the
automatic sync feature. This transfers group and channel settings with a press
of a button. Based on your system configuration, use one of the following
processes to sync the components:
16/36
Shure Incorporated
Align the IR windows to sync the receiver and transmitter
Pressing the SYNC button transfers group/channel data
Single Transmitter and Receiver
The following sync procedure should be used with a setup that consists of a
single transmitter and receiver, unless a group/ channel setting has been
assigned prior to a performance.
Sync from receiver to transmitter:
1. Perform a scan on the receiver (see “Scanning for the Best Open Channel”
for best practices). 2. Align the IR windows on the receiver and transmitter.
The windows should be 6-11 cm apart. 3. Press the SYNC button on the
transmitter while the blue RF LED on the receiver is flashing. 4. The
Transmitter displays SYNC when the sync is successful. The arrow between Rx
(receiver) and Tx (transmitter)
shows the direction of the sync.
17/36
Shure Incorporated
Note: When the RF LED on the receiver is flashing after performing a scan, the
receiver sends its frequency setting to the transmitter. After it stops
flashing, pressing SYNC sends the frequency setting from the transmitter to
the receiver.
Single Transmitter and Multiple Receivers
The following sync procedure should be used with a setup that consists of a
single transmitter with multiple receivers, or if a specific group/channel
setting has been assigned to the transmitter prior to a performance.
Sync from transmitter to receivers: 1. Sync the first receiver to the
transmitter using the sync procedure for a single receiver. Performing a scan
and using the resulting group and channel from the receiver is recommended. 2.
Set additional receivers to the transmitter frequency (one at a time) using IR
sync: Align the IR windows on the receiver and transmitter and press SYNC. The
receiver LED should not be flashing when pressing SYNC.
Note: Receivers can also be manually tuned to the transmitter if an IR sync is
not practical.
Multiple Transmitters and Multiple Receivers
1. Set up the first transmitter and all associated receivers according to the
appropriate sync procedure. Keep the transmit ter and all receivers from this
first system powered on when setting up additional systems.
2. Set up each additional system using the appropriate sync process. Always
leave each new system on before setting up an additional one.
Manual Selection
If frequencies have been planned ahead of time, the group and channel can be
set manually without performing a scan. Refer to the frequency table at the
end of this user guide to identify frequencies for each group/channel setting.
To select group/channel settings on the receiver and transmitter:
1. Press GROUP to scroll through group settings. 2. Press CHANNEL to scroll
through channel settings within the selected group.
Adjusting Gain and Listening Volume
For the best audio quality, start by adjusting the levels from the mixer or
audio source, and then adjust levels through the PSM300 system. This approach
corresponds to the way that the audio signal flows through the system, and
maximizes the sig nal-to-noise ratio. Before you begin: verify all signal
routing and gain settings at the mixer or source prior to adjusting any levels
from the PSM300 system. If the sound is distorted or faint when it enters the
P3T transmitter, there is likely an issue elsewhere in the signal chain that
needs to be resolved.
18/36
Shure Incorporated
Adjust Transmitter Levels:
Input Sensitivity Select the setting that matches the input source:
Line (+4 dBu) Aux (-10 dBV)
Use with mixers or other professional audio devices that send line-level signals. Use when connecting consumer audio devices such as portable audio players or computers.
Note: When using consumer audio devices, the output volume of the device should typically be adjusted as close to the maximum setting as possible without distorting or clipping at the output of the device. This maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio.
Input Level
Adjust the level so that average levels on the audio meter reach approximately
75% of the full range. The highest levels should occasionally hit the 0dB
indicator on the audio input meter, without reaching the OL (overload)
indicator.
Tip: If a sound check before the performance is possible, everyone should play
at the loudest anticipated volume so that attenuation is not required during
the performance.
Adjust Receiver Volume:
After levels are established at the mixer and transmitter, use the headphone
volume control on the bodypack receiver to adjust overall listening volume.
For information on adjusting the left/right balance or customizing the mix
blend, see “MixMode and Stereo Monitoring”.
19/36
Shure Incorporated
Operation
Creating Monitor Mixes
The mix that performers hear on stage is usually different than the mix heard
by the audience. In live sound applications, the engineer creates a separate
mix to send to the performer by routing the input signals to specified mixer
outputs, usually called Monitor or Auxiliary outputs.
The following scenario demonstrates a generic signal path for monitoring
mixes, and may not reflect the routing for all mixer types. Consult the user
guide for your mixer for detailed signal routing options.
Mixer Channel
Each mixer channel controls audio processing and routing for a single audio source. In this example, a vocal microphone is plugged into the mixer channel.
Monitor/Auxiliary Sends
Adjust the signal levels to send to the monitor/auxiliary outputs, each of which corresponds to a separate monitoring mix. Each of these mixes are sent to separate channels on the P3T transmitter.
Note: The channel faders on most mixers do not affect the volume of the monitor/auxiliary sends.
Wireless Transmission
Each monitoring mix is transmitted on a separate channel to the P3R receiver. The MixMode knob on the bodypack adjusts the blend between the audio from channel 1 and channel 2.
20/36
Shure Incorporated
MixMode and Stereo Monitoring
The receiver can operate in stereo or MixMode when the transmitter is set to
STEREO-MX. In applications that involve multiple bodypack receivers tuned to a
single transmitter, some bodypacks can operate in stereo, while others operate
in MixMode.
Selecting the Mode
Stereo: The receiver is set to stereo mode by default. To switch from MixMode
to stereo, simply turn the receiver off and it will return to stereo mode when
powered back on. MixMode: Press and hold the GROUP button on the bodypack
receiver while turning the power on. The MixMode indicator light on the
receiver display turns on to confirm the setting. The receiver will return to
stereo mode after it has been powered off.
21/36
Shure Incorporated
Stereo
Audio from channel 1 is heard on the left earphone, while audio from channel 2
is heard on the right earphone. Listening in stereo mode increases separation
between the sources on each channel, which can improve clarity when many
sources are being monitored. The MixMode knob on the bodypack adjusts
left/right balance when operating in stereo mode.
MixMode
MixMode allows performers to adjust the blend between two monitoring mixes (an
instrumental mix and a vocal mix, for exam ple). When using MixMode:
· Each mix is heard through both the left and right earphones · The MixMode
knob adjusts the volume blend between the two monitor mixes (channel 1 and
channel 2) · Each bodypack receiver can dial in a unique blend to meet the
monitoring needs of each performer
Adjusting mix levels
In this scenario, an instrumental mix is on channel 1 and a vocal mix is on
channel 2:
To hear more of channel one, turn the MixMode knob to the left.
To hear more of channel two, turn the MixMode knob to the right.
When to Use the Mono Setting
In some cases, only a single input on the transmitter is used (if the mixer
only features a single monitor/auxiliary output, for ex ample). To ensure that
audio is heard on both the left and right earphones:
· Use the LEFT/CH1 input on the transmitter · Set the transmitter to MONO
22/36
Note: When the transmitter is set to mono operation, the MixMode knob will not affect the sound.
Shure Incorporated
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Distorted Audio
Check the volume levels at the P3T transmitter and verify that the meter is
not reaching the overload indicator Check levels going in and out of the
mixer. If audio is distorting anywhere in the signal chain, it will be
distorted even if the PSM300 system is not overloading. Make sure batteries in
the receiver are fresh Verify that the cables are 1/4 inch balanced. If an
unbalanced instrument or speaker cable is used, it may introduce noise.
Tip: To tell the difference, look at the connectors on the cable. The metal
connector on a balanced cable has two plastic rings that divide it into three
separate sections (tip, ring, sleeve). An unbalanced cable only has a single
plastic ring that divides the metal portion into two sections (tip, sleeve).
Check that all cables are plugged all the way into the mixer and the P3T
inputs. Sometimes, if a ca ble is not fully inserted, the signal will be faint
and distorted. Make sure you are using the line-level outputs from the mixer.
If you have a powered mixer, do not use the main speaker outputs, as they are
amplified signals and will overload the P3T inputs.
No sound from re ceiver
Make sure the transmitter and receiver are linked to the same group and channel Verify levels are registering at the transmitter and that the volume is turned up on the receiver Check that the receiver is on and that the headphones are properly connected to the receiver
Turning the Mix Mode knob does not affect the sound
The StereoMX/Mono switch on the rear panel of the P3T may be switched to mono. For the Mix Mode knob to work, the transmitter must be set to Stereo-MX. Verify that the signals going from the mixer to the transmitter are not identical Check that the bodypack is set to MixMode
Low audio output at the receiver
Check headphone connection and volume level If only sending a single channel into the P3T transmitter, check it the MixMode knob isn’t turned to wards a silent channel. If using one channel, set the P3T transmitter to mono mode.
Audio or RF drops out
Perform a scan to ensure the receiver is on a clear (available) frequency Make sure there is a line-of-sight path between the transmitter antenna and the bodypack receivers Verify that other wireless devices that are being monitored, such as wireless microphones, are not experiencing RF dropouts If using an antenna other than the one included with the system, make sure it is designed to operate in the correct frequency range
IR sync failure
Verify distance between receiver and transmitter is between 6-11 cm
