Checking the Frequency Code:
Before proceeding, you must first verify that the wireless
frequency of your transmitter matches the frequency of the
receiver installed in your Anchor sound system.
1. The control panel of the sound system should have
the following label:
2. The frequency code must match the code found on
the transmitter as described below:
HANDHELD: Unscrew the battery compartment
cover on lower end of the microphone. Remove the
battery (if installed) and check code on the label.
BODY-PACK: Check the code on the label located
behind the belt clip.
3. If the frequency codes don’t match, locate the correct
transmitter whose code matches the sound system.
About the transmitter battery gauge/indicator
Assuming a battery is installed in the transmitter, you can
estimate the remaining operating time by sliding the power
switch to the PWR position (first turn the sound system off,
or set the transmitter mute switch to the MUTE position).
Observe the color of the LED indicator(s) that light up:

Setting up the Liberty Xtreme sound system
Positioning of the speaker is perhaps the most important
consideration when setting up a sound system. You should
survey the location prior to the activity and observe the
seating arrangement and area of coverage.
Basic principles of sound system set up:
•
Position your sound system in front of the audience
and ahead of the microphone.
• Elevate the sound system so the sound projects over
the front listeners. This permits sound to reach the
listeners in the rear without overpowering those in
front. The Liberty is easily and safely elevated above
the audience by using Anchor’s SS-450 speaker stand.
• For long and narrow seating arrangements, position
one sound system in front and off to one side of the
listeners. Then position a second sound system mid-
way back on the same side of the audience. Direct the
speakers diagonally across the audience (see notes
regarding daisy-chaining below).
• Daisy Chain operation: There may be times when the
crowd size requires more than one sound system, or
when part of the audience is in a separate listening
area. To use multiple Liberty Xtreme systems, connect
a shielded mic cable between the Line Output of the
primary sound system to the Balanced Line Input of

Keep in mind,
the best sound
system set-up is
when the
audience is not
