QUICK START: TWO U3 SETS FOR STEREO / DUAL MONO PA APPLICATIONS
For stereo PA/DJ systems,
connect Transmitter #1 to
the left main XLR output of
the mixer, and connect
Receiver #1 to the XLR
input of the left main
loudspeaker. When you
power them on, set them
both to the same channel.
Then, connect Transmitter
#2 to the right main XLR
output of the mixer, and
connect Receiver #2 to the
XLR input of the right main
loudspeaker. When you
power them on, set them
both to the same channel,
which must be a dierent
channel than set #1.
For mono PA/DJ systems,
connect Transmitter #1 to
the mono main XLR output
of the mixer, and connect
Receiver #1 to the XLR input
of one of the main
loudspeakers. When you
power them on, set them
both to the same channel.
Then, connect Receiver #2 to
the XLR input of the second
main loudspeaker. When
you power it on, set it to the
same channel as set #1. Both
speakers will receive the
same mono signal.
