RemoteMix x5™
Field Mixer
1) How long will the batteries last in my RemoteMix x5?
There are many variables that affect battery life, such as the number of
headphones. All of our battery life tests included 4 headphones playing music
at average listening levels. These tests use standard alkaline batteries.
Lithium batteries can add 3 to 4 times the battery life, at 3 to 4 times the cost.
The following numbers are from lab tests and may not represent your usage:
10 hours of broadcast through the phone line hybrid, using dynamic
microphones.
2) Will any cellular telephone work with RemoteMix x5?
The wireless interface on the RemoteMix x5 works very well with most
cellular telephones. However, some wireless telephones generate excessive
RF noise which can be heard as a “chattering” or “motor boat” sound.
The noise from these particular telephones will be unacceptable for most
broadcast applications.
RemoteMix x5 is supplied with a 1/4” TRS to 3.5mm TRRS interface cable.
While the majority of current wireless phones use a 4 conductor, 3.5mm
TRRS headset jack, some older phones use a 2.5mm TRS headset jack.
If your phone uses this smaller 2.5mm headset jack, you may contact our
support department to request a compatible interface cable.
3) What kind of device can I connect to the Cue Input?
Setting the switch for the dual-purpose 1/4” input to Cue Input will provide a
standard line level input for connection to another audio device, such as a
portable radio. The audio signal will be sent to all of the headphone outputs.
This way, your announcers can listen for a cue from their radio station at the
end of a station break.
4) The cellular interface cable was left behind at our last event.
Can I get a replacement at our local audio supply store?
This is a custom made cable and is not wired the same as those that may
be available at your local electronics store. Please contact your JK Audio
dealer or our Customer Service department and ask for a CN113 replacement
cable. The CN113 has a 3.5 mm TRRS headset plug. Most newer phones,
especially those that include a mp3 player, have a 3.5mm TRRS headset jack
and therefore require the CN113 cable.
5) The output from Mics 3 & 4 are very low but the other mics
are fine.
Check the position of the <Mic/Line> switch near Mics 3 & 4. This input can
be switched to accept a line level signal from a mixer or other equipment.
