READING THE LCD SCREEN

The LCD screen displays the status of each function, as follows:

1.

Input Level Meter: 

3-segment input level meter displays level of incoming signal. Always 

check for clipping prior to inserting earphones into ears.

 

2.

Battery Life Meter: 

Indicates the amount of voltage left in the battery. If no indicators are 

present, change the battery as soon as possible.

NOTE:

 Battery life depends on many variables, including battery type (brand), 

earphones used, and volume setting.

3.

Input Attenuation:

 Displays the sensitivity of the bodypack's input.  Use “0 dB” attenuation 

for low levels (–10 dBu), and use “–15 dB” attenuation for higher levels (+4 dBV).

4.

MixMode (MIX): 

Allows the user to receive the monitor mix in either MixMode (MIX ON) or 

Stereo (MIX OFF).  If the bodypack is receiving only one signal, use MIX ON. See 

Mono, Ste-

reo and MixMode Control 

on page 8.

5.

High Frequency Equalization (EQ): 

Adds 6 dB at 10 kHz for improved treble response.

6.

Limiter (LIM): 

Activates and deactivates an internal limiter which provides protection against 

loud signals.

WARNING!

Turning the Limiter OFF defeats protection against hazardous sound levels.
