• Available on selected frequency bands within the UHF band for interference-
free, long-range performance (up to 8 systems can be operated
simultaneously, depending on country and frequency band)
• System consists of PEM-500T transmitter and one bodypack PEM-500R
receiver, both of which offer 16 channel user selectability. Any number of
additional receivers can also be operated with the same transmitter if they are
all set to the same channel.
• Proprietary companding circuitry for wide Dynamic Range and clear, natural
sound
• Operating Range: Up to 300 feet typical (depending on site conditions)
• Rugged, foam-padded traveling case provides easy, safe transport and
storage
PEM-500T Transmitter
• Rugged, all metal half-rack that can be rackmounted singly or side-by-side
with optional rack kits
• Microphone input allows wireless cueing of performers on stage
• Front panel features input level control, stereo headphone monitor output jack
and volume control, select button for choosing one of 16 UHF channels, LED
channel display, and Left/Right 10-segment audio input level displays.
• Back panel provides BNC jack for the detachable antenna, a Stereo/Mono
select switch, a 1/4" TRS balanced microphone input, and XLR jacks for Left
and Right Line inputs.
• Externally powered by AC power adapter
PEM-500R Receiver
• Portable bodypack receiver features a power switch, switchable built-in volume
limiter, output level control, stereo/mono select switch, and two-color
(red/green) 3-way unit ON/Signal/Low Battery LED indicator.
• Operates up to 6 hours (depending on volume) on a 9V alkaline battery
• Each receiver is supplied with a pair of miniature, lightweight (yet powerful)
in-ear speakers with soft rubber mounts in 3 sizes (small, medium, and large)
designed for "custom" form-fitted comfort and optimum acoustic transfer and
isolation.
• Rear clip can be rotated 90˚ for attaching receiver either vertically or
horizontally to clothes.
SYSTEM FEATURES
5
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING DAMAGE. ALWAYS USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has established the
following guidelines for maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels (SPL)
before hearing damage occurs:
90 dB SPL @ 8 hours
95 dB SPL @ 4 hours
100 dB SPL @ 2 hours
105 dB SPL @ 1 hour
110 dB SPL @ 1/2 hour
115 dB SPL @ 15 minutes
Aviod exposure to 120 dB or greater
SPL or irreversible ear damage may result.
(Note: It is difficult to measure the SPL present at the eardrum in live sound
applications. The volume present will be affected by the level setting of your PEM-
500R, the ambient stage sound from your other instruments and speakers, and the
quality of and fit of your in-ear speakers.)
Always avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Use the
following guidelines to use this system safely:
1.Turn up the volume to your earphones only enough to hear properly. The PEM-
500 can provide a high quality monitor mix at significantly lower decibel
levels than floor monitors. Whenever possible, use the system with the limiter
in the PEM-500R receiver ON.
2. Just as with any in-ear monitor system, The PEM-500 works best when used
exclusively by all performers on stage (without any wedges or side monitors).
The high sound pressure levels produced by floor monitors (especially if the
band plays loud) can bleed through the in-ear monitor earbuds and, in the
worst cases, hinder their effectiveness. Experiment with your overall mix to get
the maximum benefit from your PEM-500.
3. Turn down the volume immediately if you experience any pain or hearing
discomfort or ringing in the ears after use.
4. Have an audiologist check your hearing and ears regularly. If you experience
any wax buildup in your ears, do not use the system until an audiologist
examines your ears.
5. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid
infection. Stop using the earphones if they cause discomfort or infection.
