Operation
Power On/Off
Turn on the PRO-XDR by pressing and holding the Power Button
③
for 1 second. If the unit has sufficient
battery power the Power Indicator light
⑦
will be green. This light will turn red when the remaining battery
life is low. To turn off the receiver, press and hold the Power Button
③
for 3 seconds until the Power
Indicator
⑦
light goes off.
Signal Indicator
When the receiver is paired and communicating with the transmitter, the Signal Indicator
⑧
will be solid
green. If this light is flashing green, it indicates that the receiver is either trying to establish a connection or
the transmitter has gone out of range. See detailed instructions on pairing on page 4.
Volume Control
Use the Volume Control
②
to increase or decrease the microphone output level. A change in headphone
level will also correspond with the change in microphone level. The Volume Control
②
has a total of 10
increments. The default volume setting of the receiver is 4. By pressing the minus (-) button 3 times you will
set the receiver for the minimum volume. By pressing the plus (+) button 6 times you will set the receiver at
its maximum volume. Each time the receiver is powered off and powered back on again it will be reset to the
default volume setting of 4.

icrophone Output
The Microphone Output
⑤
on the receiver is a 3.5mm TRS stereo jack that outputs a microphone level
audio signal. Use the included audio output cable to connect the receiver to the mic input of a DSLR camera
or camcorder. Additionally, the TRRS adapter cable can be used along with the audio output cable to
connect the receiver to the headset input of a smartphone or tablet.
Headphone Output
The Headphone Output
⑨
is a 3.5mm TRS stereo jack that outputs a line level signal that is generally
intended for headphones and earbuds (not included). Use this output to monitor the sound coming from the
transmitter.
Charging
To charge the receiver, use the included USB cable and AC adapter. Plug the mini end of the USB cable
into the receiver’s Mini USB Charging Port
⑩
and then plug the USB-A end into the included AC adapter (to
be plugged into a power socket). Alternatively, the USB-A end of the cable may be plugged into a computer
USB port. Charge time for an empty battery is approximately 3 hours. During charging the Power Indicator
⑦
will be red; once the battery is full, this light will turn off.

The EX-503XD Lapel Microphone
The PRO-XD system comes with a custom designed lapel microphone. The lapel
mic is omni-directional, powered by the transmitter (via plug-in power) and has a 4-
pole (TRRS) 3.5mm male connector. It comes with a lapel clip and attached
windscreen.
To use the lapel microphone with your system, simply plug it into the Microphone
Input
⑨
of the PRO-XDT. The EX-503XD can also be plugged directly into the
headset input of a mobile device if the user wishes to record without the wireless
units. For best results, clip the lapel mic to your subject’s clothing at a distance of 6
– 8 inches away from their mouth.
It should be noted that other Azden microphones or third-party microphones may also be used with the
PRO-XD system. In order to be compatible they must have a 3.5mm TRRS connector. If your microphone
has a 3.5mm TS connector, you can use the included HX-i TRRS adapter to make it compatible with the
transmitter’s microphone input.
Pairing The PRO-XDT and PRO-XDR
The transmitter and receiver of each PRO-XD system are paired at the factory, and should pair
automatically upon first use out of the box. However, there may be some cases in which you will have to
manually pair the units with each other again. Please begin these instructions with both units powered off
and fully charged
1
.
1. Start by pressing and holding the Power Button of the PRO-XDT to turn it on. Continue to hold the power
button for approximately five seconds to enter sync mode
2
. When the Signal Indicator flashes green it
means that the transmitter is in sync mode and ready to pair with a receiver.
2. Press and hold the Power Button on the PRO-XDR to turn it on. Continue to hold the Power Button for
approximately five seconds to enter sync mode. The Signal Indicator on the receiver will flash green while it
is in sync mode. The Signal Indicators on both units will continue to flash green as they search for a clear
frequency channel. Once paired together, the Signal Indicators on both units will be solid green.
3. To pair multiple receivers with one transmitter, complete step 2 with all receivers simultaneously.
4. To pair the transmitter and receiver of multiple PRO-XD systems complete steps 1 and 2 for each pair
separately. At least 4 PRO-XD systems can operate simultaneously in close proximity in optimal conditions

.
5. Once the PRO-XDT and PRO-XDR are paired they should remain so for subsequent uses. Pairing will be
automatic upon both units being powered on.
Connecting To A Camera
The PRO-XDR comes with a standard camera shoe mount attached for easy mounting to a DSLR Camera.
To mount the receiver, slide the shoe mount into the camera’s shoe mount slot. Tighten the thumb screw to
secure the receiver in the mount.
An audio output cable is included in this kit to connect the receiver’s microphone output to the 3.5mm
microphone input of your camera (standard on most DSLR cameras). Once connected, most cameras will
automatically sense that there is an external microphone being used. However, some cameras may require
that you manually select the input audio source. Be sure to check your camera’s manual.
If you wish to plug the PRO-XDR microphone output into a 3-pin XLR microphone input, this can be done
with an adapter (sold separately). Azden’s MX-1 and MX-2 cables may be used for this purpose. Contact
Azden or an Azden dealer for details.
1.
Pairing is not possible if either the transmitter or receiver have low battery power. If the power indicator is glowing red on
either unit, this indicates it will need to be charged before pairing.
2.
Sync mode on both the transmitter and receiver will last 12 seconds. If a successful pairing is not completed within this time
period, sync mode will have to be initiated again.
3.
Optimal conditions for use of multiple systems constitutes the presence of few or no other Wi-Fi signals or 2.4GHz devices in
the vicinity.
