Connecting and setting up remote antennas
If the reception in the location of the receiver is not optimal, we
recommend using remote antennas.
TG 500SR
As the TG 500SR receiver does not provide a power supply, only
the WA-ATO antennas (optionally available) or the WA-AMP2
antennas with additional power supply can be used. If there is
more than one TG 500SR, we recommend using a splitter that
provides the power supply.
TG 500DR
As the TG 500DR receiver has a short-circuit-proof voltage of
8V DC at both antenna inputs with a maximum load of 150mA
available for power supply, active antennas such as the WA-ATDA
(optionally available) can also be used.
If the length of the antenna cable is greater than 10m, an antenna
amplifier (WA-AMP2) or an active antenna is required to
compensate for the attenuation loss arising in the cable.
1. Connect the reception antennas to the antenna inputs A
and B
and position the antennas to the right and left of the
active area in which the transmitter is to be used. Changing
the positioning of the reception antennas may improve
reception.
2. A minimum distance of 1m should be maintained between the
reception antennas; the maximum distance between the two
reception antennas should not exceed 5m.
3. The distance between the transmitter and reception antenna
should be at least 1.5m to avoid overloading and thus
interference between the different channels. If this distance
cannot be maintained, we recommended positioning the
reception antennas raised, especially for multi-channel
systems.
Important:
1. Install the reception antenna in the room where the
transmission is to take place.
2. To avoid interference, do not position the reception antennas
next to digitally controlled devices or attach to lighting masts
(hum interference).
3. Keep a minimum distance of 50cm from metal objects,
including reinforced concrete walls.
4. Do not bend antenna cables too much; keep them in arch
shapes instead. Mechanically protect the antenna cable from
pulling if necessary.

Connecting the receiver to a microphone input
• The receiver has balanced audio outputs.
• Connect the balanced XLR
or jack output
to the balanced
microphone input on the mixing console or amplifier.
• In the menu settings of the relevant channel, adjust the level of
the audio output to the input level of the amplifier or the mixing
console. See chapter 2.8 “Menu settings”.
