Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Revolabs digital 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.
The Revolabs Executive HD ™Wireless Microphone System is a second generation
technology that contains substantial improvements to audio performance, microphone
density and user interface/control improvements including Ethernet interface. The
Executive HD system is a unique marriage of innovative technology and ergonomic design,
employing Multi-Carrier, Time Division Multiple Access and Time Division Duplex
(MC/TDMA/TDD) radio transmissions both to and from the microphone.
This technology allows the microphones to co-exist with other wireless products such as
wireless LANs (802.11b&g), and includes digital encryption technology to ensure secure
communications.
System Components
Depending on which system you’ve purchased, your Revolabs Executive HD ™ System
package contains the following:
Rack mountable 4 or 8 channel Base Station
Microphone Docking Station
HD wireless microphones, (earpieces and lanyards with wearable microphone only).
The Base Station houses the processor and one end of the wireless connection. It features
either one pair (4 Mic system) or two pairs (8 Mic system) of diversity antennas and offers
individual line-level or mic-level audio in/out for each microphone channel. This allows for
external audio processing such as:

- 4 -
Mixing
Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC)
Feedback elimination
Level control
Equalization
Noise cancellation
The system is designed to optimize audio capture/reproduction by providing:
Consistent audio input from all participants
Minimum room noise
Mute control
Wireless encryption
Automatic channel selection
Full duplex audio.
The Docking Station stores and charges the wireless microphones when not in use. The
Docking Station also serves as a programming station for the microphones, should
firmware updates to the microphones be required.

The Revolabs Executive HD ™ Base Station is designed to be installed into a standard 19‖ AV rack
system using the attached rack ears.

- 6 -
To Install the Base Station:
1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
2. Turn the fuse-protected power switch on the back panel to Reset.
The LCD on the front panel will illuminate.
3. Attach the diversity antennas (2 or 4 SMA female connectors).
Revolabs Executive HD™Audio Connections
There are (8) 3.5mm mini-Phoenix input and (8) 3.5mm mini-Phoenix output ports on the back panel
of the unit (four on the 4-channel system) providing access to each channel‘s audio signal.
The provided mini-Phoenix connectors are designed for easy wiring. The three terminals (from left to
right) correspond to positive +, negative -, and shielded ground .
To connect audio In/Out on the Executive HD
1. Use the screws on top of the connector to first loosen the terminals.
2. Insert an appropriate 3 conductor cable (3 separate conductors, or 2 conductors and shield) into
the terminals.
3. Tighten the screw to secure the cable.
4. Push the connector onto the pins centered under the desired input or output port until firmly
secured.
There are four or eight output channels representing a separate channel for each microphone.
Accordingly, there are four or eight input channels to the unit. The microphone output connectors
need to be attached to the line-level (0dBu) input connectors of an audio mixer. PHANTOM POWER
MUST BE OFF.
The Base Station input connectors (also 0dBu) may then be attached to mixer channel outputs.
Because the system is full-duplex, the input connections provide the ability to hear program audio
using a 2.5mm earpiece attached to the microphone (supplied with the wearable microphone).
Depending on the application, it is possible to feed a single mixed channel back to all earpieces or,
alternatively, each user can receive a separate and unique channel. This would allow for translation,
personal hearing assistance or other services to be incorporated into an application.
Configuring the Executive HDTM Base Station
Each Revolabs Executive HDTM Base Station must be configured properly prior to use. Accurate
configuration is dependent on several variables such as:
1. How many Executive HD systems are being used together in proximity?
2. What type of 3rd party mute control is being used?
3. How large is the room?
4. Is Line Level or Mic Level signal required?
5. How do the mic mutes need to function?

- 7 -
Once these questions are answered, accurate configuration of the Executive HD base can be
achieved using a combination of the following methods.
Using Multiple Revolabs Executive HDTM Systems Together
If more than one Revolabs Executive HD ™ Base Station is used in an area, each unit needs to be
interconnected with a synchronization (BUS) cable using a standard 3.5mm mini-Phoenix connector
and any 24AWG or better shielded cable. In addition, DIP switch #1 needs to be adjusted on one or
more of the units to represent the ‗Primary‘and ‗Secondary‘devices.
The three terminals of the BUS connector should be wired in parallel (seen left to right with the
connector installed). The three contacts of the phoenix connector are as follows from left to right.
1. Sync
2. Master Mute
3. Ground
Set one Base Station as the Primary device by putting DIP switch #1 to the ‗Off‘ position. The other
units must be set as Secondary devices by putting DIP switch #1 to the ‗On‘ position. In this
configuration, the Primary device manages the entire system, distributing microphone transmission
across available channels to maintain frequency integrity, and coordinating system muting.
Primary (DIP switch 1, Off –default): This designates the Base Station as the master control unit.
Secondary (DIP switch 1, On): Additional base stations to be used in the same area must be
connected via the BUS and be set to REMOTE mode to ensure synchronization of timing clocks
between bases.
Note: Whenever a DIP switch is toggled, the base unit should be reset, or the power should be
cycled (or press the „reset‟ button on the rear panel) for the switch setting to be registered. The
„Primary‟ device should be completed booted before any connect „Secondary‟ devices are powered
on. This ensures proper synchronization.
Warning: The switch must be in the „Primary‟ position for a single Base Station system, which is the
factory default setting. Microphones will not function if the switch is in the „Secondary‟ position and no
„Bus‟ cable is connected.
The maximum number of microphone channels within a 100‘ (30m) radius in North America is 16
channels (High Definition mode) or 32 channels (Max Density mode). The maximum number of
channels within a 100‘ (30m) radius for an EU frequency system is 24 channels (High Definition
mode) or 40 channels (Max Density mode).

Warning: Using the maximum number of Revolabs HD Microphones in a given will occupy
100% of the available RF bandwidth. Any other wireless device operating in the same
frequency could cause significant interference with the Revolabs HD Microphones. It is
recommended that no other DECT or DECT 6.0 product be used within operational range of
the Executive HD system(s).

Using the Revolabs HD Control Panel Software Interface
A software program with graphical user interface is available for accessing control settings and real-
time status of Revolabs Executive HD microphone systems. A detailed description of how to use this
tool is described below.
1. Download the Revolabs Audio Control Panel software from http://www.revolabs.com and
install onto a PC.
2. Connect the PC to the same network as the Base Station via either a Ethernet Crossover
Cable, or network switch.
3. If no DHCP server is present, set the fixed IP on the PC to the same subnet as the IP address
displayed on the Base Station front panel display.
4. Launch the Revolabs HD Control Panel program.
5. Select ‗Scan Network‘ from the ‗Box‘ menu or hit the F5 key, and the HD Control Panel will
automatically find and display any Revolabs Executive HD base stations visible on the network
(the program cannot see through firewalls, etc.).
6. Select the devices needing to be configured and click ‗OK‘

Configuration Settings
The Revolabs HD Control Panel controls the Executive HD Base Station configuration settings. Most
of the configuration settings can only be controlled from the HD Control Panel. However, some of the
configuration settings can also be controlled from the Base Station front panel display. All
configuration settings are located either in the ‗Config‘ tab of the device window or on the HD Control
Panel menus.
Scan Network
The ‗Scan Network‘ option of the ‗Box‘ menu will search the connected Ethernet network for all
connected HD Base Stations. A pop-up ‗Equipment List‘ will show all discovered devices and allow
the connection to the selected Base Station(s). Once connected to a Base Station, the HD Control
Panel will open a device tab for each Base Station.

- 10 -
Note: If the „Equipment List‟ does not appear after a network scan has been performed, no devices
or network connections were found.
Set Box Name
A Box Name may be assigned as a Network title for each device. The Box Name can be set by selecting ‘Set
Name’ from the ‘Box’ menu. The corresponding pop-up will show the current box name which can be changed.
Set Telnet Password
A Telnet Password may be assigned for logging into a Base Station. Once a Telnet Password is assigned, it
must be entered to communicate with the Base Station over Ethernet. The Telnet Password can be set by
selecting ‘Set Password’ from the ‘Box’ menu. The corresponding pop-up will show if a password has been set
and will allow the password to be changed.
Set IP Configuration
Executive HD Base Stations are set by default to look for a DHCP server when an Ethernet
connection is present. If no DHCP server is found, the Base Station will auto-populate its own IP
address and display it on the front panel display. This automatic IP address will change every time
the Base Station is rebooted for as long as DHCP is enabled.
If no DHCP server is available, or if a fixed IP is desired, the DHCP option can be switched off and a
fixed IP can be assigned to the Base Station. The IP Configuration can be set by selecting ‗Set IP
Config‘ from the ‗Box‘ menu. The corresponding pop-up will show the current IP configuration and
allow the configuration to be changed

- 11 -
Note: Changes to the IP Configuration will only take place once the Base Station has bee rebooted.
Update Firmware
Executive HD Systems are field upgradable for the firmware portion of the Base Station and
Microphones. The firmware must be sent to the Base station and Microphones separately using the
HD Control Panel program. See Updating Revolabs HD Firmware for more information.
Serial Control Processor
The Serial Control Processor allows the use of third party control system or DSP to monitor and
control the Executive HD Base Station and Microphones. See Using the Serial Control Processor for
more information.
Audio Mode
There are two audio modes to choose from when using an Executive HD System. ‗High Definition‘
mode (default) which provides 50Hz-20KHz audio ‗Max Density‘ mode which provides 50Hz-12KHz
audio. While ‗High Definition‘ mode provides the highest audio bandwidth, ‗Max Density‘ mode
provides the ability to use more mics in a given area. This configuration setting can also be controlled
using the Base Station front panel display.
Note: A change to the Base Station Audio Mode will result in an automatic system reboot.
Low Pass Filter
Each Executive HD Audio Mode is set by default to use a predetermined Low Pass Filter (LPF) to
optimize the microphone performance. This LPF can be deactivated in each mode to allow the
maximum available audio bandwidth to pass. In ‗High Definition‘ mode the LPF is set to 15KHz and in
‗Max Density‘ mode the LPF is set to 8KHz.
Table Top Master Mute
The Executive HD System provides two options for microphone mute performance.
The default option allows each microphone to have its own individual mute capabilities as well as a
Master Mute function that will lock all mics into a muted state until the function is disabled. The
Master Mute can only be triggered by a control system via RS-232 or Ethernet.

- 12 -
The second option allows all table top style microphones to act as a Master Mute, leaving only the
Wearable microphones and XLR adapters with individual mute capabilities. Muting any table top style
microphone will cause all microphones in the system to mute until another table top microphone mute
button is pressed. Un-muting a table top style microphone will cause all table top microphones to un-
mute and will return all Wearable microphones and XLR adapters to their previous state of individual
mute capability. The ‗Table Top Master Mute‘ mode can be activated by selecting the option in the
‗config‘ tab of the device window.
Note: When a Master mute is enabled through either a control system, or by using Table Top Master
Mute mode, all Base Stations connected with a bus cable will be affected. You can eliminate the
Master Mute communication between Base Stations by not terminating pin 2 on the bus connector.
Transmit Power
The transmit power of the Base Station can be adjusted to help reduce the operational radius of a
Executive HD System in order to prevent interference from other Revolabs Products, or from other
devices operating in the same frequency. The options for transmit power are ‗0-7‘ with ‗0‘
representing the lowest power and ‗7‘ representing the highest power. This configuration setting can
also be controlled using the Base Station front panel display.
Note: It is recommended that the lowest functioning Transmit Power be used for each system.
Box Address
Each Executive HD Base Station must be assigned a unique Box Address when multiple Base
Stations are connected with a BUS cable. The options for Box Address are ‗0-7‘ with ‗0‘ being the
default.
Note: The Master Mute function will not propagate to the entire HD system if each connected Base
Station does not have its own Box Address.
Lock Front Panel Display
The Front Panel display can be locked to keep the front panel controls from changing any
configuration settings. The ‗Lock Front Panel‘ mode can be activated by selecting the option in the
‗config‘ tab of the device window.
Base Station Operation Mode
This displays the current state of DIP switch #1 located on the rear panel of the Base Station. It will
display either ‗Primary‘ or ‗Secondary‘ mode.
Status Monitoring:
The Revolabs HD Control Panel monitors the Executive HD Base Station and Microphones. All status
monitoring is located in the ‗Monitor‘ tab of the device window.

Using the Serial Control Processor (RS-232 or IP)
The Serial Control Processor allows the use of third party control system or DSP to monitor and
control the Executive HD Base Station and Microphones. The Executive HD Base Station must be
configured for the correct ―Serial Control Processor‖ using the Revolabs Audio Control Panel
software.

- 14 -
Using the Executive HD Base Station with a Control System
The Executive HD Base Station is capable of being monitored and controlled via any serial capable
control system. The only logic communication that takes place between multiple Base Stations, via
the BUS cable, is ―Master Mute‖ status. Therefore, each Base Station requires is own serial
connection to the control system in order to communicate. The ―Control System‖ option must be
selected, under the ―External Control Processor‖ drop down menu in the Executive HD Control Panel
program, in order for this configuration to function properly. You must also set the RS-232 or Network
settings of the Base Station to match the communication settings of the control system.
When using a control system, the microphone mutes can be configured to ―int. mute‖, which mutes
the microphone audio inside of the base station, or ―ext. mute‖, which allows the control system to
choose another location for the mute to take place.
Note: Both a control system and DSP cannot be connected to a Base Station at the same time.
When using a control system, the DSP control must be done by the control system and not the Base
Station.
Serial Command & Return Strings:
The Serial Strings of a Executive HD Base Station begin with the Argument and terminates with a
Carriage Return. The Command String structure is as follows:
<Argument> <Command> ch <Channel #> <Value> <CR>
All Command Strings sent to the Base Station will provide a Return String confirming the change has
taken place. Return Strings will begin with ―val‖ and terminate with a Carriage Return. You will receive
a Return String for every action that has taken place as a result of the Command String sent to the
Base Station. The Return String structure is as follows:
val <Command> ch <Channel #> <Value> <CR>

Channel #:
The options for the <Channel#> portion of the serial strings are ―1-8‖ since each Base station can
only control up to 8 channels of an Executive HD microphone system. The <channel#> corresponds
to the physical channel that the microphone is paired to on the front of each Base Station.
A <Channel#> of ―A‖ will enable or disable the Master Mute mode. This command must only be sent
to the Base Station that is set to ―Local‖. ―Remote‖ Base Stations will not accept the command.
Examples:
The following strings would unmute microphone channel 3:
Command: set mute ch 3 0 Return: val mute ch 3 0
The following strings would turn on the Master Mute:
Command: set mute ch A 1 Return: val mute ch A 1
The following strings would retrieve the battery status of mic 5 @ 100%:
Command: get batt ch 5 Return: val batt ch 5 4

Note: All return strings will automatically populate when the corresponding change to the
microphone takes place.
DB9 Pin-out:
Pin 2 = Rx
Pin 3 = Tx
Pin 5 = GND
Pin 7 = RTS
Pin 8 = CTS
Using the Executive HD Base Station with a DSP
The Executive HD system is designed to control the mutes of a DSP directly in the event that no
control system is present. The Base Station must be configured for the correct ―Serial Control
Processor‖, using the Executive HD Control Panel software, in order to send the mute commands to
the DSP. In addition, each DSP model must be configured differently to receive the mute commands.
Clearone Converge & XAP
When using the Base Station along with a Clearone DSP, you must select the corresponding DSP
product line from the ―Serial Control Processor‖ menu in the base station using the Executive HD
Control Panel Software. You must also set the RS-232 or Network settings of the Base Station to
match the communication settings of the Clearone DSP. The Base Station will only control the mutes
of the DSP it is configured to communicate to. A 4 channel Base Station will control microphone
channels 1-4 of the DSP, and an 8 channel Base Station will control microphone channels 1-8 of the
DSP. There is no configuration that needs to take place in the Clearone DSP.
Biamp Audia & Nexia
When using the Base Station along with a Biamp DSP, you must select the corresponding DSP
product line from the ―External Control Processor‖ menu in the base station using the Executive HD
Control Panel Software. You must also set the RS-232 or Network settings of the Base Station to
match the communication settings of the Biamp DSP as well as select the range of microphones that
the Base Station is to simulate.(i.e. 1-8, 9-16, etc.)

- 17 -
Each Base station will control the mutes of a ―level block‖, within the DSP programming, using that
block‘s instance ID tag. The tags are as follows:
Channels 1-8 MUTE1
Channels 9-16 MUTE2
Channels 17-24 MUTE3
Channels 25-32 MUTE4
So for example, if you set the ‗Audio channels‘range for the microphones to 1-8, in the Control Panel,
then the Base Station will use the instance ID tag of ―MUTE1‖, and control the first 8 mutes in that
fader block.
