A10-RX User Guide

Powering 

The A10-RX-SL receives power over its D-sub connector  The A10-RX-XLR receives power 

from its 4-pin Hirose female connector  The male Hirose connector is a power loop through  
When DC power is present, either at the D-sub connector or the Hirose 4-pin, the A10-RX is 

powered  There are no additional power switches  

Channel Powering 

Each of the two channels of the A10-RX can be powered on or off individually. When a channel 

is powered down that portion of the A10-RX no longer draws power  If the A10-RX is going to 

be used for a single wireless channel, best practice is to power down the unused channel  Chan-

nel powering is controlled in the Selection Menu (

Main > System > Power

)  

Channel Power LEDs 

The A10-RX has blue Channel Power LEDs for each of its two channels. When first powering 

the A10-RX without transmitters present, the LEDs illuminate indicating the receiver channel is 

powered  
The receiver channel will connect, or pair, to an A10-TX transmitter that is powered on and set 

to the receiver frequency. The Channel Power LED then shows the battery status of its associated 

transmitter  

•  Solid Blue

 - a solid blue LED indicates that the transmitter battery is in good condition  

•  Flashing Blue

 - a flashing blue LED indicates when the transmitter battery level is low or 

depleted  

When a paired transmitter is powered down, the blue LED continues to show the last condition 

of the transmitter battery  If the transmitter is powered back on, or a new transmitter is activated 

on the channel, that transmitter pairs with the receiver and its transmitter battery condition is 

shown with the blue LED  

 

ª

The LEDs change assignment based on the orientation of the display. Channel 1 is always 

shown left of the display and channel 2 is always on the right.
