Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a Revolabs Wireless Microphone System! This system utilizes 1.9 GHz DECT technology, and high band-width audio from multiple wireless microphones, enabling clear, reliable, un-tethered communications in recording, audio/video conferencing, speech recognition, VOIP communications, sound re-enforcement as well as many other environments requiring clear audio capture.
System Components Your Revolabs HD Venue System contains the following: • • • Rack-mountable HD Venue Base Station HD Microphone Charger Base HD Wireless Microphones, purchased and boxed separately (HD Omni Tabletop and HD XLR Adapter shown in photo above for example only) The Base Station houses the processor and one end of the wireless connection. It features one set of PCB diversity antennae and offers individual line-level or mic-level audio in/out for each microphone channel.
Installing the Revolabs HD Venue™ Base Station To Install the Base Station: The Revolabs HD Venue™ Base Station is designed to be installed into a standard 19” AV rack using the attached rack ears. 1. Install the HD Venue System into the rack. 2. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet 3.
Revolabs HD Venue™ Base Station Connections The Revolabs HD Venue™ Base Station, shown below in front and rear panel views, manages wireless audio signal processing, pairing, and muting between the Revolabs microphones and the Base Station. Front View 3 1 2 Rear View 4 5 7 6 8 9 Controls and Connections: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Revolabs HD Venue™ Base Station Audio Connections There are two balanced inputs (either ¼” or XLR) and two balanced outputs (either ¼” or XLR) on the back panel of the unit providing access to each channel’s audio signal. ¼” jacks Tip Ring Sleeve are configured as follows: positive negative ground XLR connectors are configured as follows: Pin 1 ground Pin 2 positive Pin 3 negative There are two output channels representing a separate channel for each microphone.
Configuring the Revolabs HD Venue TM Base Station Each Revolabs HD Venue Base Station must be configured properly prior to use. Accurate configuration is dependent on several variables such as: Is Line Level or Mic Level signal required? Refer to setting Dip Switch 3 below. • How many HD Venue Systems are being used together in close proximity? If you have more than one Revolabs HD Venue Wireless Microphone System, refer to setting Dip Switches 5 and 6 below.
Configuration Settings DIP Switch 1 – Output Mixing: When DIP Switch 1 is OFF (default), each HD microphone has its own balanced audio output on the Base Station. When DIP Switch 1 is switched on, the audio outputs of the two HD microphones are mixed together and sent to both outputs. DIP Switch 2 – Low Pass Filter: When DIP switch 2 is OFF(default) the microphone provides the full audio bandwidth. When DIP switch 2 is ON, a LPF is activated reducing the audio bandwidth.
Using the Revolabs HD Control Panel Software A software program with graphical user interface is available for accessing control settings and real-time status of Revolabs HD Microphone Systems. A detailed description of how to use this tool is described below. 1. Download the Revolabs HD Control Panel software from https://uc.yamaha.com/resources/support/ 2. Connect the PC to the HD Venue system via USB. 3. Allow the PC to recognize the hardware and install the necessary drivers. 4.
All Mic Mute: This feature removes the mics individual mute capability and causes both microphones to mute when the mute button on either microphone is pressed. The same effect will take place when unmuting the microphones. Note: Any changes to ‘Mics Unmute at Startup’ or ‘All Mic Mute’ requires the ‘Save’ button to be pressed in order for the changes to take effect. Lock: Each microphone has individual lock capabilities.
Version: This provides the current firmware version for the microphone that is paired to each channel. Note: The microphone firmware version must match the Base firmware version for the system to function properly. A mismatch may result in no audio from the microphones. Battery: This provides the current battery level for the microphone that is paired to each channel and active. The value changes in 12.5% increments and represents the bottom of the range the battery is in.
