PAD Settings
The SW70-T beltpack transmitter has a broad range of PAD settings, which allow you to use it with almost
any microphone or instrument. As in all audio equipment, the setting of the input level is crucial to achiev-
ing the best sound quality. Setting minimal PAD levels (-3, -6, or -10 dB) may produce a distorted sound if
you are using a high output microphone or instrument. Conversely, setting a more extreme PAD level (-40,
-37, or -34 dB) may require you to raise your system gain unnecessarily, resulting in a noisier output.
Watch the input meter on either the transmitter or the receiver (see illustrations) and set your level so there
are at least three indicators illuminated for normal program level, with an occasional move to the fourth
indicator. The fifth and biggest indicator denotes clipping – watch out! If you see clipping, choose a lower
pad setting (for example, from -10 to -14 dB).
