4. Connecting the Audio Input
The PEM-500T transmitter features a 1/4" TRS balanced
MIC INPUT (9)
and a line
level balanced XLR jack for the
LEFT
and
RIGHT LINE INPUTS (10)
. The MIC INPUT
allows the use of a microphone alone for easy cueing of performers while on stage,
which can be useful in many applications. It can be used even with input signals
also connected to the
LINE INPUTS
. Select the input jack appropriate for the
signal(s) you are feeding to the transmitter:
A. For a microphone input, plug a balanced 1/4" TRS or an unbalanced 1/4"
TS cable from a dynamic microphone into the
MIC INPUT
.
B. Stereo monitor mixes from your console can be connected to the
LEFT
and
RIGHT LINE INPUTS
with balanced XLR connectors. Mono monitor mixes can
also be input in this manner. Select STEREO for stereo inputs and MONO for
mono inputs, as appropriate, with the
STEREO/MONO SWITCH (11)
. Mono
signals are transmitted on both the left and right channels equally with the
volume adjustable by the
AUDIO LEVEL CONTROL (12)
. The gain of stereo
signals can be further adjusted separately (L/R) by the console monitor feed.
With the
STEREO/MONO SWITCH
set to MONO, a stereo input signal will
be transmitted as mono. If the switch is set to STEREO, a mono signal will still
be transmitted as mono. If a signal is input only to one of either the left or
right LINE INPUTS and the switch is set to STEREO, it will only be transmitted
on that side. However, if the switch is then set to MONO, it will be
transmitted on both sides as a MONO signal. See also
Selecting Stereo or
Mono Operation
in the PEM-500R Receiver section.
(Note: As when making any connection, make sure that the PEM-500T
AUDIO
LEVEL CONTROL
and the console output levels are set at minimum volume before
plugging into the transmitter. This will avoid possible loud transients in the PEM-
500R receiver if it is already turned on, and with earphones plugged into the
user’s ears.)

PEM-500T TRANSMITTER
1. Rackmounting the transmitter
The PEM-500T requires no installation and can be used on any flat surface.
However, in some applications rack mounting is preferred. There are 2 options
available for rackmounting the PEM-500T transmitter: singly or side-by-side with
another PEM-500T transmitter.
• Single mounting: The PEM-500T is supplied with RE-5
RACK EARS (1)
which
can be attached with the screws provided on the front of the side panels to
enable rackmounting the receiver.
• Side-by-side dual mounting: Two PEM-500T transmitters can be rackmounted
side-by-side using the optional RKT-25
RACK KIT TRAY (2)
which holds 2
transmitters.
(Note: Do not mount the transmitter(s) in a rack directly above an amplifier or other
source of high heat–this could degrade the performance of the PEM-500T. Always
ensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)
2. Powering the Transmitter
Plug the
14V AC ADAPTER (3)
provided into the AC
INPUT JACK (4)
on the back of
the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
Press the
POWER SWITCH (5)
once to turn on the transmitter. The
POWER ON LED
(6)
will now light and the transmitter is operational.
3. Antenna
Connect the
ANTENNA (7)
or optional remote antenna on the back panel to the
ANTENNA JACK (8)
. Optimal antenna position is vertical. For maximum range, it is
always best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions) between the transmitter
antenna and the receiver(s) at all times whenever possible.
