Gain

Gain can be set, from -7 to +44, by using the   and   

arrow buttons.

Adjusting the Input Gain

The two bicolor Modulation LEDs on the top panel pro-

vide a visual indication of the audio signal level entering 

the transmitter. The LEDs will glow either red or green 

to indicate modulation levels as shown in the following 

table.

Signal Level 

-20 LED

Less than -20 dB

-20 dB to -10 dB

Greater than +10 dB 

 Red 

 Red

NOTE:  Full modulation is achieved at 0 dB, 

when the “-20” LED first turns red. The limiter 

can cleanly handle peaks up to 30 dB above this 

point.

It is best to go through the following procedure with the 

transmitter in the standby mode so that no audio will 

enter the sound system or recorder during adjustment.

1)

 With fresh batteries in the transmitter, power the 

unit on in the standby mode (see previous section 

Powering On in Standby Mode

 

on page 6).

2)

 Navigate to the Gain setup screen.

3)

 Prepare the signal source. Position a microphone 

the way it will be used in actual operation and have 

the user speak or sing at the loudest level that oc-

cur during use, or set the output level of the instru-

ment or audio device to the maximum level that will 

be used.

4)

 Use the   and   arrow buttons to adjust the gain 

until the 

–10 dB

 glows green and the 

–20 dB

 LED 

starts to flicker red during the loudest peaks in the 

audio.

5)

 Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can 

be sent through the sound system for overall level 

adjustments, monitor settings, etc. 

6)

 If the audio output level of the receiver is too high 

or low, use only the controls on the receiver to 

make adjustments. Always leave the transmitter 

gain adjustment set according to these instruc-

tions, and do not change it to adjust the audio 

output level of the receiver.

Rolloff (Low Frequency Roll-off)

The low frequency audio roll-off is adjustable to optimize 

performance for ambient noise conditions or personal 

preference. 
Low frequency audio content may be desirable or dis-

tracting, so the point at which the roll-off takes place can 

be set to 20, 35, 50, 70, 100, 120 or 150 Hz.

Rolloff

70 Hz

Phase (Selecting Audio Polarity)

This setting allows for configuration for use with certain 

microphones, or for setting custom parameters. 

Xmit

Setting Frequency 

Frequency (mHz and kHz) in can be set by using the 

MENU/SEL button to choose mHz or kHz and the   and 

  arrows to adjust frequency. 

 

 

Tuning Groups

Tuning groups can be received via IR (Infared) port sync 

from a receiver. The group frequencies are set by the re-

ceiver. The group names will be displayed at the bottom 

of the screen as Grp x, Grp w, Grp v, or Grp u.
Use the 

MENU/SEL

 button to toggle between options 

and the   and   arrow buttons to adjust.
