5.2.3. Special LCD Display Messages.
In addition to the Status and programmable information discussed above, the
text lines of the LCD Settings Display may also (under certain circumstances)
automatically override other displays. The conditions when this will occur and
the messages displayed are shown on page 19.
5.3. RF Channel Select
Range = 1 to 70 (SWM7000) or 1 to 34 (SWM6000)
Choose the RF channel
for this system. The transmitter must have the same channel selected. Turn the
RF CHANNEL SELECT
knob until the desired channel is displayed on the LCD.
See chart (Appendix E) for exact frequency of each channel.
NOTE:
Dual channel receivers will not allow you to select the same RF channel
for both channels.
NOTE:
Front panel RF Signal display will only register Sabine transmitters. It will
not show RF interference. Use the RF Scan function in the software to scan for
potential RF interference (see Section 13.4.2.5).
5.4. output Level
Range = MUTE to 0 dB
Adjust the output level to match the input character-
istics of the downstream component. Each tick of the output level knob adjusts
the level by ½ dB. The LCD displays this in 1 dB resolution, so it takes two ticks
of the knob to change the output level value on the LCD.
The output level varies from microphone level to line level, so if you are patching
the receiver to the mic level input of a mixer, turn down the level to avoid overdriv-
ing the mixer input. Minus 15 dB is a good place to start. If you are patching into
a line level device, turn up the receiver output. For best results, follow the golden
rule of gain structure: maximize gain at early stages in the signal path, to minimize
noise that will be accumulated and amplified by adding late-stage gain.
5.5. Channel Mixing
Your SWM Series two-channel receiver now has the ability to mix the
A and B outputs. In Channel Mixing mode both the A channel audio
and the B channel audio are mixed together, and are available on both
the A and B outputs.This is an advantage for several applications:
ExAMPLE:
Guitarists who wish to have a spare guitar ready to go without re-
patching the output of the receiver to their pedal board or other processors
.
All
you have to do is turn the transmitter off for one guitar and turn on the other. The
audio is sent out through the same output of the receiver.
ExAMPLE:
Sound techs who wish to use more mics than they have channels
for on their mixer.
For example, you may have a mixer with only 8 inputs, but you
really need 12 mics for a show. You can combine the outputs of several pairs of
Sabine wireless mics and the show can go on without buying a new mixer.
You maintain separate control over all channel functions except output level.
Output levels are the same for both channels when in Channel Mixing mode,
and the ouput values appear on the A channel LCD.
5.5.1. How to Toggle Channel Mixing Mode
Press and hold both the A and B Channel Select buttons (the blue buttons) at
the same time. After a moment both buttons will be lit. This is your indication
that you are in Channel Mix mode. To go back to the standard mode, press
and hold the A and B channel select buttons again until the backlight of one
of the buttons turns off.
