PEM-500R RECEIVER
1. Multiple Monitor Mixes
Any number of PEM-500R receivers can be used with a single PEM-500T transmitter
set to the same channel. Although there are individual controls on each receiver
allowing different levels of volume, each receiver will receive the same transmitted
monitor mix (see
Selecting Stereo or Mono Mode Reception
below for exceptions).
If different mixes are required for the different performers, additional PEM-500T
transmitters and receivers set to other channels must also be used, and each
transmitter must be fed a different mix from the console as desired.
(Note: Never set more than ONE transmitter to the same operating frequency.)
2. Powering the Receiver(s)
Slide down and flip open the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT (18)
and insert a fresh
9V
BATTERY (19)
, observing the correct polarity. Turn on the receiver with the
POWER
SWITCH (20)
. If the battery has usable strength, the 2 color
UNIT ON/SIGNAL/
LOW BATTERY LED (21)
will glow red if the transmitter is OFF and green if it is on
and tuned to the same channel as the receiver. The battery should last up to 6
hours, depending on the music content and volume, but it is recommended that it be
changed every 3-4 hours if possible. If the battery is too weak for operation, the
LED will not light at all or flash alternate green/red if the transmitter is turned on,
and on the same channel, or flash red if the transmitter is turned off. If this occurs
during use, immediately change the battery to ensure optimum continuing
performance.
3. Selecting the Channel
Inside the open
BATTERY COMPARTMENT
, use a small screwdriver and adjust the
CHANNEL SELECTOR CONTROL (22)
to the same channel as selected above for the
transmitter with which you will use this receiver. The UNIT ON/SIGNAL/LOW
BATTERY LED will change from red to green when the same channel is selected,
indicating reception of the signal from the associated PEM-500T transmitter.

OPERATION
4. Selecting Stereo or Mono Mode Reception
Switch the
STEREO/MONO CONTROL (23)
in the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT
to
stereo or mono reception to match the transmission mode already selected for the
transmitter, as per the
Connecting the Audio Input
section of the PEM-500T
transmitter instructions above. You can also try different combinations for different
applications. For example, if multiple PEM-500R receivers are being used with one
PEM-500T transmitting in stereo, the different performers may select either a stereo
mix with the
STEREO/MONO CONTROL
(which may feature vocals on one side and
the rest of the mix on the other), or a mono mix (with the vocals and music mixed
together). Such capability adds to the versatility of the system by allowing more
personal control of the individual sound received by different performers all listening
to the same transmitted mix.
5. Connecting the In-Ear Monitor Speakers
The PEM-500R is provided with a
3.5 mm TRS STEREO EARPHONE MINI JACK (24)
for connecting the
EARBUD SPEAKERS (25)
supplied. These miniature in-ear
speakers can be inserted in the ear with the foam screens supplied as standard
portable sound system earphones. For better isolation from ambient stage sounds
and a more secure fit, 3 sets of soft "form-fit"
RUBBER IN-EAR MOUNTS (26)
are
provided to fit all sizes (small, medium and large). Select the size that best fits in
your ears most comfortably. Remove the foam screen from the earphones and slip
the
RUBBER MOUNTS
over each speaker. Insert the
MOUNTS
(with speakers), one
in each ear.
(Note: Wipe the earphones and rubber mounts with an antiseptic before and after
each use to avoid infection. Stop using the earphones if they are causing discomfort
or infection.)
[Note: For best results and sound, a pair of custom-fitted ear transducers, supplied
with soft rubber mounts cast by an audiologist from your own ear cavity, are
recommended. Although expensive, these earphones will provide the most natural,
full frequency response, best acoustic isolation and longest-term wearing comfort.
Such units can be ordered from suppliers such as Sensaphonics
(www.sensaphonics.com) and Ultimate Ears (www.ultimateears.com). Contact one of
these suppliers directly for more information on their custom earphones.]
