This guide will assist with starting up and operating a Sportsound®
SSR-100 Gen II audio rack. For detailed operation, conguration,
and troubleshooting, refer to the Sportsound Rack SSR-100 Gen II
Operation Manual (DD3687808).
Setup
Place the rack on a at, sturdy surface. Remove the front and rear
cover pieces by releasing all latches; set the covers aside.
1. Announcer’s Interface setup is described below. Refer also to the
quick guide (DD3083838) shipped with the device.
a. Connect the 2' (610 mm) XLR cable between the microphone
and the MIC 1 INPUT jack.
b. Connect headphones to the 1/4" or 1/8" jack.
c. Connect the provided 12 VAC wallpack transformer to the
power input jack, and then use the tab above the power jack
as a strain relief for the power cord.
2. Connect the 15' (4.6 m) XLR cable from MIC 1 & AUX 1 on the
announcer’s interface to the MIC 1 & AUX 1 OUT jacks on the
front of the rack. Also, plug the wallpack transformer into one of
the power outlets on the front of the rack.
3. Connect one end of a 2' (0.6 m) or 5' (1.5 m) XLR cable to the
LTIBLOX unit and the other end to MIC 2. The 3.5 mm plug may be
connected to the headphone jack of a laptop or MP3 player.
4. Connect the 25' (7.6 m) XLR cable between the MAIN OUT (B)
jack on the front of the rack and the SYSTEM AUDIO jack on the
bottom of the ber box. If there is no ber box, as in an indoor
system, the cable typically connects to a wall plate junction box.
Note: For Denon DN-306X mixers, connect to MASTER OUT.
5. Plug the 3-prong power cord in the rear of the rack into a
standard outlet. Ensure the ber box (if included) also has power.
6. Turn on the power strip, mixer, and optional wireless receiver(s).
7. Switch the SIGNAL to ON.

Follow the above steps in reverse order to power down the system.
Place all accessories in a secure location to avoid damage/theft.
Input Sources
Ensure all source equipment is turned on and operational. If any
optional wireless microphone systems are included, refer to page 3.
Mixer Operation
Note: Gen II SSR-100 racks have shipped with two different mixers:
the current version has the Rane MLM82S while older versions
had the Denon DN-306X.
Remember: Bad input = bad output. No adjustment on the mixer
can make a poor source sound better. For best results, be sure to use
high-quality audio les from your MP3 player or laptop, and set the
device to near full volume.
Whenever red LEDs are illuminated on the mixer, this is generally a
sign that input settings need adjustment. PROLONGED OVERLOAD
OUTPUT SIGNAL WILL DAMAGE THE AUDIO SYSTEM!
Rane MLM82S
Basic instructions are described below. For more information about
mixer operation, refer to the Rane MLM82S Operators Manual.
• Ensure all source equipment is turned on and operational.
• For each input channel (source) in use, verify:
• SIG/OL light is green; if this light is red, decrease the level
• ASSIGN is set to A+B or B
Note: Inputs set to A will only be heard through the announcer’s
console headphones. This may be used to listen to each
input without interrupting the main mix.
• When the input is in MONO mode, the signal goes to both Aand
B outputs. The amber LED illuminates when in MONO mode. When
not in MONO mode, the input signal goes to the Boutput (as set
in the factory).
• Adjust the B output level to achieve the nal output. If the OL light
is red, decrease the level.
Ensure any antennas are angled outward at
~45◦. Alternately, coaxial cable from the high
gain antenna kit may be connected into the
jacks off to the sides of the wireless receiver(s).
The antennas should be located within 50'
(15.2 m) of the rack, using desktop stands or
mounted to the ceiling.

Denon DN-306X
Basic instructions are described below. For more information about
mixer operation, refer to the Denon DN-306X User Guide.
• Ensure all source equipment is turned on and operational.
• For each channel (input source) in use, verify the green SIG LED is
illuminated.
• Adjust the MASTER volume level to achieve the nal output. If the
red CLIP LED is illuminated, decrease the level.
Surge Protector
The power strip features a 15A breaker. If the breaker trips, press
the small button next to the power switch to reset it. The green
POWER ON LED and the red SURGE PROTECTED LED should both be
illuminated when the rack is plugged into a functioning outlet and
powered on.

Single Receiver
1. Ensure all transmitters are powered off. Press the power button to
turn on the receiver if it is not already on.
2. Press menu until “scan” displays on the LCD.
3. Press enter to start frequency scan. When scan is complete,
Group and Channel will display on the LCD.
Network Receivers
1. Ensure all transmitters are powered off. Turn on all receivers and
wait one minute to allow time to connect to the network.
2. Press menu on one receiver until group number ashes.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select a group to scan.
4. Press enter, wait for channel, and then press enter again.
5. Press menu until “network scan” displays on the LCD.
6. Press enter twice to deploy channels to other receivers.
Note: Perform a scan on all of the wireless units just minutes
before the game! If a scan is performed too far ahead
of time, frequencies set up by the media later on may
interfere with previously congured settings.
1. Open the battery cover. Insert new or fully-charged AA batteries
prior to each use, and always have spares on hand.
2. Power on the transmitter device.
3. Hold the transmitter device up close to one receiver in the rack,
ensuring the infrared (IR) windows are aligned.
4. Press sync on the receiver; “good” will display if sync succeeded.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 to pair another transmitter device with an
additional receiver (if present).
Note: Plug the referee mute switch into the jack on top of the
bodypack unit and plug headphones/lapel mic into the
referee mute switch.
Verify Reception: With a transmitter and the receiver both turned
on and having matching GROUP and CHANNEL numbers, the RF
meter on the receiver should be indicating signal. Speak into the
microphone and the Audio meter should indicate signal presence.
