Thank you for choosing a Galaxy Audio professional wireless in-ear monitor system. You have
joined thousands of other satisfied customers. Our years of professional experience in design
and manufacturing ensure our products' quality, performance and reliability.
1. Introduction
1. EIA-standard metal materials half - rack transmitter chassis.
2. Durable, ergonomic metal body Receiver with soft-touch controls.
3. 16MHz Bandwidth, 640 Selectable UHF frequencies / 32 Channels and True Diversity
reception for interference-resistant operation and High-visibility white LCD information
display
4. PLL (Phase Lock Loop frequency control) design ensures transmission reliability, “Noise
Lock” squelch effectively blocks stray RF.
5. Designed to provide incredible audio quality and reliable performance for artists,
broadcasters and other demanding audio environments.
2. Transmitter Installation and Connections
Installation
1. For better operation the transmitter should be at least 3ft. (1m) above the ground and at
least 3ft. away from a wall or metal surface to minimize reflections.
2. Keep antennas away from noise sources such as computer, digital equipment, motors,
automobiles and neon lights, as well as away from large metal objects.
3. Antenna are normally positioned 45° from vertical for best transmission.
4. Keep open space between the receiver and transmitter for better reception.
5. The transmitter should be at least 6ft. (2m) from the receiver.
Connections:
1. The 12V, 500mA switching power supply is designed to operate properly from any AC
power source without user adjustment. Simply connect the transmitter to a standard AC
power outlet, using only an IEC-type input cordset approved for the country of use.
Power to the unit is controlled by the front panel power switch.
2. There are two audio inputs on the rear panel: 1/L and 2/R audio INPUTS. Suitable for
an XLR balanced audio input connector and a Unbalanced 1/4” (6.3mm) input
connector. The two audio inputs simultaneous feed from two different outputs.
Use the appropriate shielded audio cable for connections between the transmitter and the
output(s) of the mixer or other audio output equipment.
