❶ON/OFF SWITCH (with LED indication).
❷SELECTOR: CHANNELS (with back-light).
❸GAIN LOCK (turn on the right to lock the gain).
❹ADJUSTMENT: AUDIO INPUT SENSITIVITY (GAIN).
With the optimum sensitivity adjustment, the red LED [5] can flash under modulation peaks.
The full ccw position corresponds to 0 dB input level (with Line / Mic switch [7] on Line position).
❺LED INDICATION: LIMITER-ON STATUS (red LED).
❻LED-BAR: DEVIATION.
The LED-bar indicates the deviation in ± kHz and in ± dB referred to ± 20 kHz deviation.
❼SWITCH: AUDIO INPUT LEVEL (Line / Mic).
If the switch is on Line position a red light is ON.
❽CONNECTOR: FRONT-PANEL AUDIO INPUT (XLR3-F type).
pin 1 = ground
pin 2 = AF-a
pin 3 = AF-b
The audio input is transformer balanced and floating.
The connector is selectable by front panel switch on “FRONT” position.
❾SWITCH: AUDIO INPUT (Front / Rear )
If the switch is on Rear position a red light is ON.
❿CONNECTOR: RF OUTPUT (N-F type).

PUTTING INTO OPERATION
Connect the power supply to the XLR4-M connector ⓫ (see optionals PSP25-L)
Connect the antennas to the N-F antenna connectors ❿(see optionals AGN00 / AMB 05)
Connect the mixer or microphone to the Line in connector (❽or ⓬), select Front or Rear
with the switch ❾and Line or Mic with the switch ❼
Chose the desired frequency rotating the Channel selector ❷ (select the same channel of
the receiver)
NOTE: a label placed on the top of the transmitter shows the pre-configured frequencies
list.
Check that the gain controller ❹is not set to the maximum
Put the selector ❶to ON and verify the led indicator is turned on
Adjust the gain, controlling that it not go on peak and the light of the led-bar doesn’t
become red. After the regulation, lock the gain with the gain lock ❸to prevent accidental
movement

Troubleshooting
No audio output on the
receiver
Check the LED-BAR ❻: if it is OFF, verify the line in connection
and the position of the audio input switch ❾
Check the CHANNEL SELECTOR ❷: verify that the frequency of
the transmitter is the same of the receiver
No RF level on the receiver
Check the CHANNEL SELECTOR ❷: verify that the frequency of
the transmitter is the same of the receiver
Distortion or unwanted
noise bursts
Remove nearby sources of RF interference (CD players,
computers, digital effects, in-ear monitor system, etc.)
Change receiver and transmitter to a different frequency
Reduce transmitter gain
