Perception wireless
NOTE
•
Before setting up your Perception wireless, check that the transmitter and receiver are
tuned to the same frequency. The wireless connection will not work if the receiver and
transmitter are tuned to different frequencies.
•
Never use both outputs (BALANCED and UNBALANCED) at the same time. This can cause
loss of signal and increased noise.
•
Set up the receiver as a free-standing unit.
•
Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and
other people may weaken or cancel the direct transmitter signal.
For best results, set up the receiver as follows:
1)
Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the
transmitter will never be any closer to the receiver than 10 ft (3 m). Optimum separation
is 16 ft (5 m).
2)
Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter.
3)
Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any large metal objects, walls,
scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
1)
Use an XLR cable to connect the BALANCED output on the back of the receiver to a
balanced microphone input (XLR socket) on the mixer or amplifier.
2)
Turn the VOLUME control on the receiver fully anticlockwise to set the receiver output to
mic level.
1)
Use a standard 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack cable to connect the UNBALANCED output on the
back of the receiver to an unbalanced 1/4" (6.3 mm) line input jack on the mixer or
amplifier.
2)
Turn the VOLUME control on the receiver fully clockwise to set the receiver output to line
level.
NOTE
To avoid hum interference, do not use audio cables that are longer than 10 feet (3 m).
1)
Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power supply is identical to the
AC mains voltage available where you will use your system. Using the power supply with
a different AC voltage may wreck the unit.
2)
Plug the feeder cable of the included power supply into the DC IN socket on the receiver.
3)
Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
4)
Press the ON/OFF switch to switch the receiver on.
1)
Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment cover.
2)
Pull the battery compartment cover off the transmitter in the direction shown by the
arrow.
3)
Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment conforming to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function if you insert the battery the wrong way round.
4)
To turn the transmitter on, set the on/off switch to "ON".
If the battery is in good condition, the status LED will be lit green.
If the status LED is lit red, the battery will be flat within about one hour. Replace the
battery with a new one as soon as possible.
If the status LED is not lit, the battery is flat. Insert a new battery.
