Quick Start-up Guide
Individuals with cardiac pacemakers and other similar medical devices should
consult with their physician before using any RF devices. Though the output level
of this wireless system is below 50 milliwatts, the proximity of the transmitter to the
implant device could pose a threat.
As with any wireless product, environmental conditions can reduce or in some cases
prohibit a successful connection between the transmitter and the receiver.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Most users of
CAD Audio wireless products in the United States do not need a license for
operation. However, the rules for unlicensed operation state that this device must
not operate in excess of 50 milliwatts and it must not cause harmful interference to
other wireless devices, and must accept interference received from other devices.
Wireless products meeting CAD factory standards adhere to these rules. The
FCC reserves the right to change these rules at any time. For more information
contact the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless
microphone website at:
www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada.To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio
peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques
de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autoris é e aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de
l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

StagePassTM IEM
Introduction
Enjoy the exciting performance of the StagePass™ IEM for your next
gig. CAD Audio has been creating high-value product since 1931 and
prides itself on supporting and developing the live performer. Our
design criterion was straightforward: develop a high-performance
wireless In-ear Monitor System that will deliver superior audio
performance while supplying advanced frequency agility, capable
enough to cope with today’s dynamic RF environment – make it both
easy to use and exciting to operate.
The StagePass™ IEM Stereo Wireless In-ear Monitor System features
16 channel frequency agile performance for outstanding connectivity.
CADLock™ AutomaticTone Code Squelch eliminates unauthorized
interference in RF unfriendly environments. Stereo operation lends
exibility of use –You may send discrete signals to the left or right
channel. High-performance MEB2 Monitor Earbuds are included
to make your listening experience top ight.The MEB2TruPitch™
Balanced-armature Earbuds provide accurate audio reproduction
while the EasyFit™ silicon earmolds provide a custom t.The metal
construction rack mountable transmitter is supplied with rack ears,
half-wave antenna, antenna-relocation kit and sturdy carry case.
The StagePassTM IEM Stereo Wireless In-ear Monitor System
includes the following features:
• 16 Channel UHF Agility for frequency plan exibility
• Stereo Operation for discrete Right/Left transmission via
combination XLR-1/4" connectors
• CADLock™ AutomaticTone Encoded Squelch to eliminate
unauthorized interference.
• MEB2TruPitch™ Balanced-armature Earbuds provide accurate
audio reproduction while the EasyFit™ Silicon molds provide
a custom t
• AA batteries with >10hrs of battery life
• Metal ChassisTransmitter for a durable and formidable
shielded enclosure.
• Transmitters have SofttouchTM Switches with multicolor
LED indicators of On/Mute and Low Battery.
• 1/4" and XLR-type outputs for interfacing exibility
• Includes carry case, rack ears and antenna-relocation kit

WARNING!
USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE. PERMANENT HEARING
DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM USING THIS SYSTEM AT
EXCESSIVE VOLUMES.
For safe operation of this in-ear monitor system, do not listen at exces-
sive sound pressure levels.
Most national safety and health administrations have established guide-
lines for maximum time being exposed to sound pressure levels before
hearing damage occurs.
85 dB(A) SPL at 8 hours
88 dB(A) SPL at 4 hours
91 dB(A) SPL at 2 hours
94 dB(A) SPL at 1 hour
97 dB(A) SPL at 30 minutes
100 dB(A) SPL at 15 minutes
120 dB(A) SPL — avoid or hearing damage may occur
In live settings it is difcult to make exact measurements of Sound
Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum, which is affected not only
by the In-ear Monitor volume, but by ambient sound on the stage and
other factors.
To protect your ears from hearing damage:
• Use the in-ear monitor system at the lowest volume possible;
turn up the volume only enough to hear.
• Be aware that ringing in your ears may indicate that the volume
is set too high.
• Have your ears examined regularly by an audiologist.
• If wax builds up in your ears, stop using the in-ear monitor system
until you have seen an audiologist.
• To avoid infections, use an antiseptic to wipe the earphones
before and after using the system.
• Stop using the earphones if you experience ear discomfort
or infection.
