Prior to setting up your WMS 40, check that the transmitter and receiv-
er are tuned to the same frequency. The easiest way to do this is to
compare the color codes on the transmitter and receiver.

Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of
musicians and other people may weaken or cancel the direct transmit-
ter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:

1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure,

though, that the transmitter will never get 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 big metal

objects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.

You can either use the receiver free-standing or mount it in a 19” rack
using the optional RMU 60 rack mounting kit.

1. Place the receiver with the bottom panel up on a flat surface.
2. Slide the two supplied side panel moldings (27) with the rubber feet

facing up into the fixing rails on both sides of the receiver from rear
to front.

3. Use the supplied Phillips screws to fasten the side panel moldings (27)

to the receiver.

1. Place a clamping slide (28) on each rack ear (29), checking that the

pegs on the clamping slides (28) engage in the fixing holes on the
rack ears (29).

2. Slide the clamping slides (28) and rack ears (29) into the fixing rails

on both sides of the receiver from rear to front.

3. Tighten the two Phillips screws in the clamping slides (28) CW to fix

the rack ears (29) on the receiver.

4. Use the supplied screws to fix the supplied blank panel to the left or

right rack ear (29).

5. Use the supplied installation screws to install the receiver in the

rack.

1. Fix one rack ear (29) to the outside panel of each receiver referring

to steps 1 through 3 above.

2. Insert a clamping slide (28) with no rack ear (29) into the fixing rails

on the INSIDE PANEL of one receiver.

3. Insert the receiver with the clamping slide (28) on its inside panel into

the fixing rails on the inside panel of the other receiver.

4. Tighten the two Phillips screws in the inside clamping slide (28) CW

to connect the two receivers.

5. Use the supplied installation screws to install the receivers in the

rack.

You can connect the receiver to a mixer in one of two ways:

A.

Use a standard XLR cable to connect the MIC OUT connector (7) on
the receiver rear panel to a balanced XLR microphone input on the
