MIC LEVEL 
OUTPUT

LINE OUT

A  3-pin  XLR  audio  connector  which  provides  a  balanced,  low  impedance  (200 
Ohm),  10  millivolt,  microphone  level  output  suitable  for  house  sound  systems, 
microphone  mixers  and  other  units  requiring  a  microphone  level  input.  Pin  1  is 
Ground  or  Shield,  pin  2  is  Audio  High,  and  pin  3  is  Audio  Low.  If  using  an 
unbalanced load, pin 1 is Ground, pin 2 is Audio and pin 3 is not used.  The output 
level at this jack varies with the setting of the WIRELESS MIC VOLUME and AUX 
VOLUME knobs. 
An RCA phono jack that provides a 1 Volt output signal to drive line level inputs of 
tape decks, cassette players and other P.A. systems. 

AUX IN

An RCA phono jack input used for playback of line level outputs from tape decks, 
cassette players and other P.A. systems. 

AUX VOLUME

This control adjusts the volume of the MIC OR AUX IN and the AUX IN inputs. 

MIC OR AUX IN

This jack is a standard 1/4" phone jack and will accept a dynamic microphone. 

WIRELESS MIC 
VOLUME

This control adjusts the volume of the built-in wireless microphone system.

affect the MODULATION LEDs located near it. 

This 

MODULATION LEDs

:  The -20 and LIMIT Leds continuously indicate the modulation level (audio level) of 

the  received  signal  from  the  transmitter  and  are  used  when  making  initial 
adjustments  to  the  transmitter. 

See  items  10  and  11  in  the  section  on 

"OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 10. 

RF LED

:  

A  green  LED  lights  when  the  companion  transmitter  is  turned  on  and  there  is 
sufficient  signal  for  good  system  operation.  Internal  circuits  monitor  both  signal 
level  and  interference  levels  and  decide  if  the  transmitted  signal  is  strong  and 
"clean" enough for satisfactory operation.  If not, the RF lamp will go out and the 
receiver will "squelch", shutting off the sound output.  This action is automatic and 
requires no user adjustment.
