Plug and connection assignment 8 Plug and connection assignment Introduction This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Plug and connection assignment Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ ference.
Troubleshooting 9 Troubleshooting In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy No sound 1. Check the power supply of transmitter and receiver. 2. Make sure that transmitter and receiver are operating in the same frequency range. The frequency can be found on the devices. 3. Are transmitter and receiver set to the same channel? 4. Check the connection between the transmitter and the connected micro‐ phone and the receiver and the connected ear phone. 5. See if the sound transmission works when you move the receiver closer to the transmitter. 6.
Troubleshooting If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
