Revolabs Elite wireless microphone systems are designed to work with other audio equipment typically found in an installation. This equipment is typically used for: Audio Mixing Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) Feedback elimination Level control Equalization Noise cancellation The Revolabs Elite system provides some of these features as well. It is recommended to use either external or Revolabs audio control systems to change settings and adapt the audio to your exact needs.
Finally, you might have purchased additional components like the ceiling mount kit for the remote antenna receiver, or the cross-over adapter to install wireless tabletop microphones permanently or semi-permanently on your tables.
Installation Base DSP Unit The Revolabs Executive Elite Base DSP Unit, shown below in front and rear panel views, provides the audio output of the wireless microphones and the management interfaces to administer the microphone system. Front View 1 2 3 4 5 1. USB web access to local web user interface 2. Microphone status LEDs, showing pairing and mute status (8 LEDs on the Executive Elite 8 microphone system, 4 LEDs on the executive Elite 4 microphone system) 3.
The Revolabs Executive Elite Base DSP Unit is designed to be installed into a standard 19” AV rack using the attached rack ears. Screws are not provided.
Remote Antenna Receiver The Remote Antenna Receiver consists of two pieces – the mounting plate and the Antenna housing. The Remote Antenna Receiver is installed similar to a wireless access point. Best locations are high on the wall or under the ceiling, facing into the room in which the microphones are located. Each Remote Antenna Receiver supports one Base DSP Unit. If more than one Base DSP Unit is installed for a room, e.g.
The back-plate of the Remote Antenna Receiver provides means to install the antenna in different environments. See the below diagram on how to install in the different environments. Independent on which way the wall plate is attached, do not over-tight the screws. When installed on the wall or on an electrical one gang or two gang box the network cable can be routed through the Network cable opening.
Antenna RF Polar pattern The RF polar pattern of the antenna has a null on the plane of the antenna. Strongest signal is towards the front of the antenna. Towards the back of the antenna, the signal is several dB weaker. Front Polar pattern of Antenna, side view Antenna placement Best results are achieved when the antenna faces into the area where the microphones are used.
Connect Remote Antenna Receiver to Base DSP Unit Connect the Remote Antenna Receiver with the Antenna output of the Base DSP Unit using a CAT 5e or Cat 6 cable. This needs to be a, point to point connection between the two NOTE: units. This is a time crucial connection. Routing this connection through a switch will fail. The Antenna output of the Base DSP unit provides Power over Ethernet which is required to power the Remote Antenna.
System set-up Once the Remote Antenna Receiver has been connected to the Base DSP unit, connect that unit to the power mains and turn the switch on the front of the unit to “1”. The unit will now power up. You will see messages on the front screen providing information until the unit is operational. Once the Screen with the VU screen is shown, and the Antenna symbol is constant, the system is operational.
If the analog audio is used for the back-channel audio, the Base DSP Unit input connectors (also 0dBu) may be attached to the output channels of the post-processing equipment. AVB Audio Beside the analog audio, Executive Elite also supports digital audio input and output. The AVB connection on the back of the Base DSP unit can be connected to an AVB enabled network and delivers streams of output audio data for each microphone, as well as can consume streams of input audio data for each microphone.
Selecting Synchronization Method Choosing a Synchronization method may be done through either the Web UI, or the Front Panel LCD. From the Front Panel the synchronization mode may be selected from the System Clock submenu, under System Settings. If sync bus is selected, the interface will prompt the user with a choice of Internal or External clock mode. Through the Web UI, synchronization mode can be set on the System Configuration page. In the table on the bottom right of that page are two dropdown menus.
The terminals of the BUS connector should be wired in parallel via either a daisy chain connection or terminal block split. The three contacts of the Euroblock connectors are as follows from left to right. S. ¯¯. G. Sync Not used in Executive Elite (Master Mute in Executive HD) Ground AVB Synchronization If all Executive Elite Base DSP units are connected to the same AVB network, the AVB network can be used to synchronize the systems with each other.
The on / off switch powers the Executive Elite base and the connected remote antenna receiver on and off. During operation, this switch should be in the “1”, or ‘on’, position. The LEDs on the front panel show the current microphone states. An LED that is off indicates that there is either no microphone paired to this channel, or the paired microphone is in the charger, out of reach, or switched off. A green blinking LED indicates an active microphone that is unmuted.
“Up” from the VU screen, the RF View home screen shows the radio signal strength as measured on the receiver for each microphone. “Down” from the VU screen, the Gain control screen shows the VU meters as well as the input gain setting for each microphone channel, which the user can change from this screen. To adjust the gain, a user presses the “Enter” while on the gain screen, and a black highlighted selection will appear.
- Antenna. The only icon guaranteed to be in this box. If it is blinking, an antenna is not communicating with the Base DSP unit. If it is solid, communication is passing between the Antenna and Base. - Wired Sync. If a wired sync buss is being used to sync clocks between Executive systems, the synced Elites will show this icon. Remember that sync mode must be set before the base will look for an external clock. - AVB. When AVB is plugged into the Base, the “AVB” icon will appear.
- Mute Symbol. Will show on the VU screen for a linked, muted microphone. - VU or Gain Meters. VU screen shows a VU meter for a linked, unmuted microphone, while the Gain screen meters look the same, but do not change unless set, and appear for all linked microphones. - RF Meters. The RF screen will display the strength of the transmission from any linked microphone as it is received by the base. Microphones experiencing interference or far away will have a lower RF.
Front Panel Menu Tree The menu tree is navigated by using the “Right” button to enter a menu, the “Left” button to leave a menu, and the “Up” and “Down” buttons to scroll between the options in the menu. With the “Enter” button a menu entry is selected – if it is a sub menu, the submenu will open, if it is a check box this will either check or un-check the option, and if it is a selection (“radio button”) it will select that value.
System Information The first option in the Main Menu is System Information. System Information offers information on the Base DSP unit, the Remote Antenna Receiver, the Microphones, and the available network connections. None of the information in this menu and the submenus can be changed. Base Information 1. FW Version 2. Product Version 3. System Name 4. Product Name System Info 1. Base Information 2.

NOTE: The System audio page in the local web UI provides information on the recommended maximum number of microphones for each selected setting. The RF analyzer page in the local web UI shows the exact use of the RF space, and provides information on additional microphones that can be added based on average and peak activity in the RF environment. The High-Pass and Low-Pass filter menus manage audio filters for each microphone.
Front Panel Warning messages When the system detects that an internal clock fine calibration might be advantageous, it will suggest a tuning of the internal clocks. Tuning will take several minutes and audio flow will be impacted during the tuning. We recommend tuning only systems that have run for at least several minutes to ensure operating temperature has been reached.
Local Web UI The local Web UI allows managing an Executive Elite base DSP unit through a web browser. The local web UI can be accessed either through the IP network if the Executive Elite base DSP unit is connected to the LAN using an Ethernet cable, or through the USB connector in the front of the base DSP unit. NOTE: Supported web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.
Logon page Open a supported web browser on your Computer or laptop and type in the IP address of the Executive Elite Base DSP unit. Once the web browser connects to the Executive Elite base DSP unit, it will show the logon page, asking for the system password. The password for the local web UI and the front panel is shared, and the factory default is 7386. If this password is changed, either through the front panel or the web UI, both interfaces will require the new changed password.
First time usage When installing the Executive Elite Base DSP unit and opening the web interface for the first time, the system will require some system wide settings that need to be made before the system becomes operational. Webpages to make these selections will be opened first. The New Systems Configuration page asks for system information. The system name will help identifying the system in multi-system installations. It is mandatory to provide a name.
NOTE: Answering that question incorrectly when in California voids your right to use the microphone charger! If you are unsure about this setting, please contact Yamaha support. Cluster Name allows for common microphone group definitions across several Elite Systems. Elite Systems that are in the same Cluster will find each other in the network, and coordinate mute commands.
Once pairing is finished, or if “later” was selected on the pairing page, the Local Web UI will redirect to the Monitor page. This page will also be the first page to come up after logging in on all future visits to the Web UI. Monitor Page Note: Prior to firmware release 1.1.5.458, the local Web UI required Java applets to provide real-time information on the system status and manage the system.
7 1 2 6 5 4 3 1 – Mute Lock Button – Enable or Disable mute from the microphone. 2 – Chairman Symbol – This Microphone is set as Chairman for its group. 3 – Individual Mute Button – Works like the microphone’s mute would, but through the Web UI. 4 – Tabletop Mute Symbol – Indicates Tabletop mode. 5 – Push-to-Talk Mute Symbol – Indicates Push-to-Talk mode. 6 – Chairman Mutes (All and Members) – Mute all microphones in the group or mute every microphone besides the chairman.
Beside this option, the Manage Groups button will navigate to the Group Management page, also found under the Audio Management menu. Both the Monitor and Microphone Audio pages have a microphone control dropdown menu accessible from the microphone tables. To open the menu, hover over the desired microphone’s column and a black-on-white arrow button will appear in the upper right corner.
Power down Mic – The selected microphone is powered off, but not unpaired. Turning the microphone back on will cause it to relink. Microphone Audio Page The microphone audio page allows setting audio parameters for each microphone individually. The page is structured into two areas. The top area is set up for adjusting the input signal, and processing the signal by applying filters, and EQ settings to the audio.
ensure that signals are correctly set based on the microphone elements used with these adapters. Filters High-Pass and Low-Pass filters are provided to adjust to room and application requirements. Use the High-Pass filter in rooms that have a high background noise in the low frequencies (air conditioning, lighting fixtures, etc.). The LowPass filter allows limiting high frequencies, based on the applications used. All filters are bi-quad filters, reducing the signal by 6dB per octave.
Audio Management The Audio Management menu houses the Manage Groups and System Audio pages. Manage Groups Microphone groups allow defining different mute behavior between individual microphones or groups of microphones. Microphones in one Executive Elite System can be assigned to any number of microphone groups. Each group can then be assigned a specific mute behavior for that group.
1 5 2 4 7 3 6 The Manage group screen shows a list of the groups defined for this system on the left, and the currently active group on the right side. Pressing the “+” sign (1) in the top left of the right column will create a new group. A group name needs to be entered to create the group. Each Executive Elite Base DSP unit and therefore every Base DSP cluster can have up to 10 mute groups within that cluster. Delete mute groups that are no longer required in your installation.
Once a group is active for management microphones can be added to it. Select any microphone currently in another group listed in the left column, and drag it over to the right column to add it to the active group. To remove a microphone you can mouse over the microphone you want to remove, and click the “x” symbol on the top right, automatically adding that microphone to the “Default” group.
located on another base in the cluster, it will be listed next to the Chairman icon in the active group header, followed by @. System Audio Settings The System Audio Settings Page allows selecting the audio compression in the system, as well as selecting back channel audio and the source for the back channel audio. The number of maximum microphones shown on this screen is a guideline only.
already in use, or other DECT equipment in vicinity. See page 57 on how to use the RF spectrum for actual RF traffic in the DECT space, and its impact on the use of Executive Elite microphones. NOTE: Systems in vicinity of each other, and either connected via a synchronization bus or synchronizing via AVB, should all use the same System Audio settings. Max Microphone availability will be significantly reduced if different settings are being used.
“AVB Information” shows the system’s AVB MAC Address, AVB sync mode, the IP Address of the Internal, or clock master, and if the link is up or down. If AVB is not connected, the Link Status will show “Down” and there will be no Master IP Address. System Configuration The System Configuration page allows setting several of the system configuration values, including system name, cluster name, and region. Changes to any entry on this web page only take effect when clicking the Save button.
The Enable Telnet Server setting will enable or disable telnet access to the Base. Please note that if this setting is set to ‘Off’ the Telnet option for servers on the External Control Page will not function. Selecting “Base Pairing Lock” will disable the pairing functionality from the system’s front panel. Even if Base Pairing is not locked, the front panel requires the password before allowing pairing of microphones. Country/Region is required to define wireless settings in the system.
Clock Tune identifies whether the system is factory tuned or has been locally tuned. Clock tuning should remain set to factory tuned unless advised by technical support to retune the system, or advised by the system itself that it detected that an internal clock fine calibration might be advantageous.
Network Management On this page Network Information for the Executive Elite is organized for easy access and management. The DHCP section allows enabling or disabling DHCP on the Executive Elite base DSP. If DHCP is enabled, the Executive Elite base DSP will request an IP address from your DHCP server. If DHCP is disabled, the IP section allows setting a static IP Address and other network information.

Now you may correct any network settings to connect the executive Elite base to your IP network. Below the IP information is the USB IP table. In this table the Static IP address and the subnet for the USB interface on the front of the Elite base are defined. In the upper left is the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server table.
be cleared from memory once the scan has been stopped and the page is redirected away from. To save the scan result, take a screenshot of the page before navigating away, and store it using your preferred image editing application. If you navigate away from the page while a scan is running, the scan will continue in the background as other parts of the Web UI are used or even if the web interface is closed, as long as the antenna or base is not rebooted.
The power of the broadcast from an Executive Elite’s remote antenna can be set from the RF Power menu. The higher the RF power, the further microphones can be from the base, but the more impact the broadcast will have on other RF devices in the vicinity. The different RF power settings provide suggested ranges in feet and meters for the maximum distance between the remote antenna and the microphones. While distances are provided in the setting, obstructions in a room do impact the maximum possible distance.
To set up connection to a Control System, the Elite can either be the Server or the Client. If Telnet is selected and the Executive Elite system is a client, the IP Address, login information and port number of the Control System (Server) must be entered. Administration The Administration menu allows administrator level system control. Under Logging, system logs can be downloaded for advanced system information.
Finally, Restart All Components forces the Base DSP unit, the Remote Antenna, and all linked Microphones to restart. Restore Factory Defaults resets all settings in the Base DSP unit to the factory defaults, as listed in the table below. A Reset Factory Defaults will restart the initial installation dialog to collect system name, region, and cluster information. Cloud registration information is not deleted as part of the system reset.

revoCloud Access To use an Executive Elite through the Cloud Server, it first needs to be registered. If registration was not completed during the Initial Setup, it can be registered through the Online Access page. An unregistered Elite’s revoCloud Access page takes the same appearance as the registration request page in the Initial Setup wizard. Selecting cancel on the popup navigates back to the Monitor page.
Software Upgrade The Software Upgrade page offers two different methods to upgrade the firmware of an Executive Elite system. 1. An Executive Elite system registered to the Cloud Server may use the “Check for Latest Version” button to search revoCloud for the most recent version of the product firmware available on the server. If that release doesn’t match the current firmware on the Executive Elite system, the Executive Elite will offer to upgrade through the Cloud.
Serial Control Processor (Room Control Interface) The Executive Elite Base DSP is capable of being monitored and controlled via a control system. Communication can either be over the serial port of the Executive Elite, or over an IP connection. If several Executive Elite Base DSPs are part of an installation, each requires its own connection to the control system in order to communicate.
All variable changes on any microphone or the Executive Elite Base Station will result in a Return String. A Return String will begin with “val” and terminate with a Carriage Return. Return Strings will be received for every value change that has taken place in the microphones or base station including changes that are a result of a Command String sent to the Executive Elite Base Station, but also for changes initiated from the microphone or the web interface or front panel interface.

Example batteries following these specifications are Sony NHAAB4KN or Panasonic HHR-210AAB.
show any activity on the channel LED and front panel LCD, and will be shown as “Not Paired” on the web interfaces. During pairing, the microphone LEDs and the channel LED on the front of the Base DSP Unit will stay solid red. Only one microphone can be paired to any single Base DSP channel at a time. Any Base DSP Unit will protect against several channels pairing at the same time.
LED patterns The following table shows activities associated with the various states shown by microphone or adapter mute LEDs.
Equipment Use Microphone LED Groups of five rapid RED flashes Base DSP Station Channel LEDs Off One yellow flash every 10 seconds Meaning Unit is faulty. Contact your AV service provider for advice. Microphone is in Sleep mode. The charge status LED provides additional information on the current charge level of the microphone batteries. The following information is for a microphone that is out of the charger and switched on.
Unmute at Startup The Unmute at Startup setting defines the mute state of a microphone when it is turned on, restarted, or taken out of a charger base. If this mode is selected, all microphones in the group will unmute in these circumstances. If it is not selected, then all microphones in the group will start muted. Individual Mute A mute group that is set to “Individual Mute” allows each microphone to control its own mute behavior.
The first state has the chairman microphone unmuted, and allows all other microphones in the group to act according to the group’s mute type (Individual Mute, Tabletop Mute, or Push to Talk). When the chairman touches the Mute area the first time, all microphones in the group, except the chairman microphone, will go into a mute state, and cannot be unmuted from any of the other microphones in the group.

Troubleshooting Accessing the Web UI through the Front Panel USB If the network settings are configured incorrectly it can cause an Executive Elite system to become disconnected from the network, making access to the Web UI over the LAN impossible. However, the Web UI can still be accessed from the USB port on the front panel of the Elite. Using a micro USB cable connect the computer you wish to use with the front USB connector of the Executive Elite DSP base.
Please note that after a new battery was inserted into the microphone, or a battery was removed and replaced in the microphone, the charge level of that battery is unknown up until such time that the microphone was placed into the charger and a full charge was applied. Executive Elite will assume that a battery newly placed or replaced in the microphone has a 35% charge level until it can determine the real charge level.
