wireless system, yet is easy to conﬁgure and use within minutes. With its fully digital transmission,

the system provides features and beneﬁts that differ in some ways from previous generations of analog

wireless, but in most respects you use it just like other wireless systems. By understanding a few simple

concepts, you’ll be able to achieve superior audio quality, a secure and dropout-free signal, and the

ability to use multiple channels of wireless together without interference or other conﬂicts.

•Up to 117 dBA dynamic range, and 10 Hz – 20 kHz bandwidth

•4th-generation technology promotes reliable, dropout-free performance

•Fast setup: without the need for gain, squelch or pilot adjustment

•12 channels supporting up to 12 simultaneous systems

•300 foot (100 meter) range

•Microphone modeling of popular vocal mics

•Bodypack EQ modeling for headset, instrument, and lavalier mics

•Accurate battery-life indicators on both transmitter and receiver

•Real-time LED ladders display critical performance parameters, including RF level, audio

level, and transmitter battery level

•Setup menus on transmitters provide additional parameter adjustments

Recommendations foR Best PeRfoRmance

•Maintain a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas. Typically the

receiver antennas should be above head level. Avoid placing the receiver in the bottom of a

rack or cabinet unless remote antennas are employed.

•Avoid placing the receiver behind walls. When this is necessary the receiver’s antennas should

be remotely located as to be in sight of the transmitter.

•Avoid placing the receiver in close proximity to RF generating equipment including computers,

wireless access points and microwave ovens.

•Point the antennas up and 45 degrees from vertical while avoiding touching metal objects like

rack or rack rails.

•Avoid blocking antennas in the transmitters. Do not “cup” the bottom of the handheld

transmitter. Avoid placing the Bodypack transmitter in pockets.
