MixMode
MixMode allows performers to adjust the blend between two monitoring
mixes (an instrumental mix and a vocal mix, for example). When using
MixMode:
• Each mix is heard through both the left and right earphones
• The MixMode knob adjusts the volume blend between the two monitor
mixes (channel 1 and channel 2)
• Each bodypack receiver can dial in a unique blend to meet the monitor-
ing needs of each performer

Adjusting mix levels
In this scenario, an instrumental mix is on channel 1 and a vocal mix is on
channel 2:
When to Use the Mono Setting
In some cases, only a single input on the transmitter is used (if the mixer
only features a single monitor/auxiliary output, for example). To ensure
that audio is heard on both the left and right earphones:
• Use the LEFT/CH1 input on the transmitter
• Set the transmitter to
MONO
Note:
When the transmitter is set to mono operation, the MixMode knob
will not affect the sound.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Distorted Audio
• Check the volume levels at the P3T transmitter and verify that the meter is not reaching the overload indicator
• Check levels going in and out of the mixer. If audio is distorting anywhere in the signal chain, it will be distorted even if
the PSM300 system is not overloading.
• Make sure batteries in the receiver are fresh
• Verify that the cables are 1/4 inch balanced. If an unbalanced instrument or speaker cable is used, it may introduce
noise.
Tip:
To tell the difference, look at the connectors on the cable. The metal connector on a balanced cable has two plastic rings that
divide it into three separate sections (tip, ring, sleeve). An unbalanced cable only has a single plastic ring that divides the metal portion
into two sections (tip, sleeve).
• Check that all cables are plugged all the way into the mixer and the P3T inputs. Sometimes, if a cable is not fully insert-
ed, the signal will be faint and distorted.
• Make sure you are using the line-level outputs from the mixer. If you have a powered mixer, do not use the main
speaker outputs, as they are amplified signals and will overload the P3T inputs.
No sound from receiver
• Make sure the transmitter and receiver are linked to the same group and channel
• Verify levels are registering at the transmitter and that the volume is turned up on the receiver
• Check that the receiver is on and that the headphones are properly connected to the receiver
Turning the MixMode
knob does not affect the
sound
• The Stereo-MX/Mono switch on the rear panel of the P3T may be switched to mono. For the MixMode knob to work,
the transmitter must be set to Stereo-MX.
• Verify that the signals going from the mixer to the transmitter are not identical
• Check that the bodypack is set to MixMode
Low audio output at the
receiver
• Check headphone connection and volume level
• If only sending a single channel into the P3T transmitter, check it the MixMode knob isn't turned towards a silent chan-
nel. If using one channel, set the P3T transmitter to mono mode.
Audio or RF drops out
• Perform a scan to ensure the receiver is on a clear (available) frequency
• Make sure there is a line-of-sight path between the transmitter antenna and the bodypack receivers
• Verify that other wireless devices that are being monitored, such as wireless microphones, are not experiencing RF
dropouts
• If using an antenna other than the one included with the system, make sure it is designed to operate in the correct fre-
quency range
IR sync failure
Verify distance between receiver and transmitter is between 6-11 cm
