5. Connecting the Audio Output
The Encore II receiver provides both a fixed mic level
BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT XLR
(14)
and an adjustable line level
UNBALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT 1/4” JACK (13)
. The level
from the
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
is controlled by the rear panel
VOLUME CONTROL (6)
.
(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board
volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible
sound system damage. Also make sure that the phantom power on the input of
the mixer is turned OFF before making connection to the receiver.)
a.
Instrument Connection
(using the WGT instrument transmitter)
Insert an audio cord with a 1/4" mono phone plug in the
A + B
UNBALANCED OUTPUT JACK (13)
on the rear panel of the receiver. Plug the
other end of the cord into an amplifier, effects, or mixing board. Adjust the
appropriate
VOLUME CONTROL (6)
for the channel being used on the Encore I
receiver clockwise to about 3/4 rotation, until the mixed volume level is
comfortable for your application. This setting is roughly equivalent to a direct
instrument cord connection. Turning the volume up to maximum will provide
4dB gain over a cord.
b.
Microphone Connection
(using the WLT transmitter with either a headset
or lavalier microphone or the WHT handheld microphone transmitter)
For microphone use, either the
BALANCED MIC AUDIO OUTPUT XLRs (14)
or the
1/4" line level A + B UNBALANCED OUTPUT (13)
can be used. The XLR output
is set at a non-adjustable microphone level, similar to hardwired mic levels.
Plug an XLR connector into either or both of the
XLR OUTPUT JACKS
on the
rear of the unit and plug the other end into your amplifier or mixing board.
(Note: Make sure the phantom power on your mixing board is turned off
and the volume is turned down when making connections.)
For your convenience, the XLR output levels are preset at the factory and
are not adjustable with the receiver volume controls. To use the 1/4"
A + B
UNBALANCED OUTPUT JACK (13),
follow the instructions for the Instrument
Connection (above), except start with the receiver volume at 1/2 MAX
and adjust the volume control for each channel until the mixed Ch A and
Ch B volume level is optimal. If the volume controls are set too high, you
may overload your mixer or amp.
