INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of the Performance Series Wireless system from Audix! Your system is jam packed with features that will enable you to fine-tune the system as needed. However, the best part of our design is that the system is simple to use. For most applications, simply refer to the Quick Set Up Guide to get up and running (pgs 6-8). Please take a few minutes and read through this manual in order to familiarize yourself with the system components and the menus.
QUICK SET UP GUIDE Follow these instructions to get up and running in very little time. 1a 1b 1. Install 2 AA batteries in the handheld transmitter and bodypack. Refer to the diagrams on the equipment to ensure batteries are positioned correctly. a.) Handheld transmitter: Unscrew bottom portion of the transmitter to expose battery holder. Push the first battery up through the housing with negative side up. Place the second battery below the first with negative side up.
3 3 3. Connect power supply. Loop cable through the metal strain relief as shown above prior to connecting power supply to receiver. Plug into power outlet. 4a 4b 4. Connect receiver to mixer or amplifier. Make sure audio levels on the mixer are muted or off. For guitar, use the 1/4" AF output (line level unbalanced, 4b). For all other applications use the XLR output (mic level, 4a). 5 5 5. Turn on transmitter.
QUICK SET UP GUIDE 7 6 8 6. Turn on receiver. 7. On receiver, press and hold the UP or DOWN button to trigger Scan for a clear Group/Channel. After 8-20 seconds a Group/Channel˝ will appear on the receiver. 8. Sync handheld transmitter to receiver. Unscrew the battery cover and locate the window housing infrared device. From a close proximity (6 inches / 152.
MULTIPLE SYSTEMS Setting up multiple systems utilizes the Scan – Sync functions described to the left. In general, compatible channels for synchronized use are organized by Group. (See the Group/Channel chart on page 31.) Be sure all receivers and transmitters are powered OFF. 1. Power up receiver #1 and matching transmitter: Run the standard Scan and Sync routine as described in the previous section (Quick Set Up Guide). Leave the system ON.

RECEIVER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS By understanding the menu structure it is easy to operate and make adjustments to the system. 1. GROUP (1-10) 2. CHANNEL (1-7) 3. LEVEL (-12 to +9) 4. SQUELCH (5 – 45) 5. DISPLAY (FREQUENCY, CHANNEL, SQUELCH, LEVEL) 6. LOCK (ON, OFF) 7. PILOT (ON, OFF) 8. SCAN (SCAN FOR OPEN FREQUENCY) 9. NAME 10. T-LOCK (ON, OFF) 11. MODE Activate Menu: To activate the menu, press the SET button until GROUP˝ appears on the display.
performed (by pressing and holding the UP or DOWN button), a clear Group/Channel˝ will be chosen and appear on the display. It will be one of the 207 predesignated frequencies available in your system (see page 31). The SCAN function takes the guesswork out of finding the best available frequency and is also handy for adding more systems into the mix. Group/Channel˝ can also be controlled manually from the menu. Activate the menu (see previous page). When GROUP˝ appears, press SET.
DISPLAY There are two default options for the LCD screen: FREQUENCY˝ or CHAN˝. Additionally, you have a choice of displaying either SQ˝(squelch) or LEVEL˝ settings. Activate the menu screen and scroll to DISPLY˝. Press SET and FREQUENCY˝ will flash. Press the UP button and CHANNEL˝ will flash. Press the UP button and SQ˝ (squelch) will flash. Press the UP button and LEVEL˝ will flash. Once you decide whether you want Frequency˝ or Channel˝ as the default, press SET to save it.
NAME This function allows the receiver to be given a unique name. There are six characters available. Scroll to the NAME˝ display on the menu and press SET. The display will move to the first character and blink. Scroll through the characters by pressing the UP button and there will be a choice of letters, numbers or symbols. Select the desired character and press SET. The cursor will now move to the second position. Repeat the sequence until all six characters are selected. Press SET to save.
Once the desired frequency is displayed, press SET and the second set of three digits will flash (for example, 546.500 with 500˝ flashing). Use the UP or DOWN button to change the number by increments of .025. For example, if starting at 545.500, press the UP key four times and it will read 545.600. When the desired frequency is reached, press SET and the frequency will be saved and displayed. Now sync the transmitter to the receiver.
SETTING RF POWER OUTPUT Choice of 10 Milliwatt or 30 Milliwatt RF transmission levels (pg 14). VX5 The VX5 condenser microphone has a more open supercardioid pickup pattern. The extended on-axis reach is ideal for singer/songwriters, keyboard players and vocalists who want more freedom to work the microphone from a distance. INTERCHANGEABLE CAPSULES It is very easy to change a capsule assembly. Simply unscrew the capsule assembly at the ring above the Audix logo.
USING THE B60 BODYPACK TRANSMITTER There are three buttons that control the menu functions—SET, UP (forward) and DOWN (backwards). The functions controlled by the buttons are RF OUTPUT, LEVEL and LOCK. There are 3 menu functions: RF POWER OUTPUT, LEVEL, LOCK. RF POWER OUTPUT This controls the level of the RF output. LO = 10 Milliwatts or HIGH = 30 Milliwatts. POWER (ON/OFF/MUTE) SET UP (forward) DOWN (backwards) TO SET RF POWER OUTPUT Make sure the bodypack is turned ON. Press and hold the SET button.
select either Mic or Line Level. Press the SET button again. Use the UP button or DOWN button to select the gain level desired. Press SET and the current setting will appear. Use the UP or DOWN button to scroll through the settings. Press SET to save the one you want. LOCK This disables the POWER button from being active. This prevents the bodypack from being accidentally turned off or muted. RF Output and LEVEL are locked when the B60 is locked.
CONNECTOR The bodypack uses a mini 3-pin XLR connector for all microphones. Other brands of microphones can be used with the Audix Performance Series Wireless system; however, it will be necessary to rewire the microphone connector to a mini 3-pin XLR (f ). In this case, note the following pin configuration: Pin 3: Signal Pin 2: Bias (voltage) Pin 1: Shield PERFORMANCE TIPS The best position for a wireless receiver is within line of sight whenever possible.
RACKMOUNTS RMT 4161 RMT 41 Kit Optional accessory. Adapts one R41 or R61 receiver into a single 19 inch rack space. Optional accessory. Includes RMT 4161 and BNC cables for front mounting antennas. RMT 241 RMT 42 Optional accessory. Adapts two R41 or R61 receivers into a single 19 inch rack space. Note: Antennas must remain rear mounted when using this rackmount. Optional accessory. Adapts one R42 or R62 two channel receiver into a single 19 inch rack space.
RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION RMT 4161 Holes for rackmount screws Machine screw 1 2 3 1 The holes for attaching rackmounts are located on the sides of the receiver. 2 The rackmounts are attached with two Phillips head screws and are intended to lay over the Torx machine screw that holds the receiver enclosure together. For additional support, the Torx screw may be removed and used as one of the fastening screws for the rackmount.
3 After both sides are secure, connect the cables to Antenna A and Antenna B on the back of the receiver. The antennas may now be front mounted to the BNC connectors. RMT 241 1 2 3 1 Using the larger Phillips head screw, fasten the metal rackmount ears to the outside of each receiver. Fasten the flat connecting metal piece to the inside of each receiver. 2 Place the two receivers together and line up the holes in order to adjoin the two pieces.
