OVERVIEW The SWASS-EXT-3-M1 Antenna Extension Kit is designed for use with Sabine SWM7000 2.4 GHz and the SWASS-EXT-3-M9 is for use with the SWM6000 915 MHz. wireless microphone receivers and antenna distribution amplifiers. Both of the SWASS-EXT-3 units allow for optimal placement of external antennas for maximum wireless performance. One SWASS-EXT-3 kit can accommodate up to 70 receiver channels. (See block diagram detail on page 10).

Fortunately, Sabine’s SWASS-EXT-3 Active Extension Antenna offers a far better, more cost-effective solution, due to its built-in active 18 dB signal boost. In the case of low-cost RG-58 cable, adding an SWASS-EXT-3 to your setup increases the acceptable maximum cable run by more than 4 times, to 14 meters. With RG-8 cable, the maximum length is extended to 88 meters! Power for the Extension Antenna is delivered from any Sabine SWM7000/SWM6000 series receiver or SWA6SS Antenna Distribution Amplifier.

SWASS-EXT-3 (2.4 GHz / 915 MHz) External Antenna Exterior case (wood-grained) Antenna component Mic stand mounting bracket Spacer White plastic nut TNC connector Wall mount metal bracket Mic stand connector General Instructions 1 Locate and install the antennas so that they are within line-of-sight of intended wireless microphone locations. Line-of-sight path 2 4 Connect the SWASS-EXT-3 to either antenna input on your SWM7000 /SWM6000 receiver or SWA6SS Antenna Distribution Amplifier.

Mounting Instructions SWASS-EXT-3 Antennas can be permanently mounted on wall surfaces, or affixed to the top of microphone stands for convenient re-positioning. 1 Microphone Stand Mounting Attach SWASS-EXT-3 Antenna Kits to microphone stands and position stands in desired locations. Gently pry the wood-grained exterior case from the rest of the antenna assembly. 3 Attach antenna cable to TNC connector on the antenna assembly. Hand tighten only.

Wall Mounting CAUTION: Be careful not to scratch or damage the interior components of the SWASSEXT-3 Antenna Kit. Interior components can be disassembled and reassembled using fingers. Do not use metal pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers or knives to unscrew or tighten interior antenna components to the metal antenna bracket frame. 1 Gently pry the wood-grained exterior case from the rest of the antenna assembly. 2 Unscrew the black microphone mount from the antenna assembly.

NOTE: wall-mounting screws not supplied The Power LED indicates the presence of phantom power from either the SWA6SS distribution amp or an SWM7000 / SWM6000 series receiver. Use this LED to verify a good connection from either of these. If the LED does not light after you power up the receiver or distribution amp, then you have a bad connection in your RF cabling. Replace the wood-grain antenna exterior case.

2. Place the transmitters in the general area where they will be used, IE the stage. 3. Connect one of your receivers to the SWM remote software. 4. Click on the RF Scan button to open the RF scanner. 5. In the scan range boxes, enter the open channel in both the start and stop range. For example, if using channel 10 as shown in step 1 above, enter 10 in the “from” and “to” range boxes. 6. Click the start button to start scanning on channel 10. 7.

radio stations, these low power devices produce very localized, short range interference; furthermore, many of the devices working in the 2.4 GHz range use spread spectrum transmission and reception. Both of these facts mean such uses of the RF spectrum are less likely to cause interference with, or suffer from interference from the use of, Sabine’s systems. Your first step in checking for interference should be utilizing the Scan function in the SWM7000 / SWM6000 Remote Control Software.

These other amps should then be connected to the receivers, as shown in the diagram above. ! ! IMPORTANT Active Electronics Antenna Sabine wireless receivers provide antennas with active electronics.
