MULTIPLE SYSTEMS

Setting up multiple systems utilizes the Scan – Sync functions described to the left. In general, compatible channels for synchronized use are organized by Group. (See the Group/Channel chart on page 30.)

Be sure all receivers and transmitters are powered OFF.

1. Power up receiver #1 and matching transmitter: Run the standard Scan and Sync routine as described in the previous section (Quick Set Up Guide). Leave the system ON. Move the transmitter at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from the receiver.

2. Power up receiver #2 and matching transmitter: Run the Scan and the receiver will find a clear channel in the same Group as the previous system. Sync the transmitter to the receiver.

Adding more systems will follow the same procedure as above.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that all transmitters are at least 6 feet (2 meters) from each other as you set up multiple systems.

Hint: If you are using more than one frequency band, be sure to set up all systems in the same band before moving to the next.

2. CHANNEL (1-7)

3. LEVEL (-12 to +9)

4. SQUELCH (5 - 45)

5. DISPLAY (FREQUENCY, CHANNEL, SQUELCH, LEVEL)

6. LOCK (ON, OFF)

7. PILOT (ON, OFF)

8. SCAN (SCAN FOR OPEN FREQUENCY)

9. T-LOCK (ON, OFF)

Activate Menu: To activate the menu, press the SET button until "GROUP" appears on the display.

Scroll Through Menu: Each of the menu functions are displayed on the screen in the order they appear in the grid above. To scroll through the menu press the UP button. Use the DOWN button to scroll in reverse. For example, if you are on "GROUP" and want to quickly get to "T-LOCK", press the DOWN button once.

MENU FUNCTIONS

GROUP/CHANNEL

These two functions work hand-in-hand as they represent preselected frequency coordinates. See page 30 for a table of coordinated frequencies. Each time a SCAN is performed (by pressing and holding the UP or DOWN button), a clear "Group/Channel" will be chosen and appear on the display. It will be one of the 106 predesignated frequencies available in your system (see page 30). The SCAN function takes the guesswork out of finding the best available frequency and is also handy for adding more systems into the mix.

"Group/Channel" can also be controlled manually from the menu. Activate the menu (see previous page). When "GROUP" appears, press SET. The current "Group" will be displayed. Press either the UP or DOWN button to scroll to another "Group" and then press SET. The new "Group" will be saved and will appear on left side of the display.

Hint: The word "CHANNEL" will appear to the upper right of the number. This means the display is in Channel mode. The menu displays "Group/Channel" as the default. Press the SET button (quickly) and the "Frequency" will appear on the screen. After 5 seconds it will default back to "Group/Channel". To set "Frequency" as the default display see "Display" (pg 18).

To change the channel, go to "CHAN" in the menu (it's next in line after "GROUP") and press SET. The current channel will be displayed. Scroll through the channels and select the one you want, then press SET. The same applies if "Frequency" has been selected as the default.

GROUP/CHANNEL (AP42 ONLY)

Please note that the AP42 dual receiver system is designed for both receivers to be used in the same Group. Whenever the Scan-Sync function is run, the AP42 system will choose the optimum Group and place both receivers in the same Group. We suggest always using the Scan-Sync function to choose new frequencies. When manually changing the Group, please note that the Group will change accordingly on both receivers.

FOR BEST RESULTS, DO NOT CHANGE FREQUENCIES DURING A PERFORMANCE.

LEVEL

This setting allows for additional gain control over the receiver. The factory setting is +6, a good gain setting for Audix dynamic microphones. The VX5 condenser microphone has much more output than a dynamic mic and is better suited in the -6 or -9 range.

Hint: The key to a good sound with the least amount of noise and distortion is finding the balance between the mixer, the receiver and the capsule gain. A soft singer, for example, will require more gain on the mixer and receiver, which could potentially add some noise into the system. Fine tuning the receiver setting can be helpful in these cases. A loud singer, on the other hand, will require less gain and possibly a gain reduction on the transmitter itself for control over distortion.

SQUELCH

"Squelch" is an important design facet of a wireless circuit. It mutes or suppresses noise from the receiver in the absence of a desired signal. Typically, the lower the squelch, the less signal it takes to activate the receiver. The higher or tighter the squelch, the higher

the signal required. Squelch also affects operating distance. Unless you run into extreme conditions where you need more or less operating range than normal, we recommend keeping the squelch around the factory setting of +15.

DISPLAY

There are two default options for the LCD screen: "FREQUENCY" or "CHAN". Additionally, you have a choice of displaying either "SQ" (squelch) or "LEVEL" settings. Activate the menu screen and scroll to "DISPLY". Press SET and "FREQUENCY" will flash. Press the UP button and "CHANNEL" will flash. Press the UP button and "SQ" (squelch) will flash. Press the UP button and "LEVEL" will flash.

Once you decide whether you want "Frequency" or "Channel" as the default, press SET to save it. If you choose "Frequency", the receiver frequency will be displayed as the default. If you choose "Channel", then "Group/Channel" will be displayed as the default.

Hint: If "Frequency" is selected as the default, then by pressing the SET button quickly, the "Group/Channel" info will be displayed for a few seconds. If "Channel" is selected as the default, then by pressing the SET button quickly, the "Frequency" will be displayed for a few seconds.

The option of showing either "Level" or "Squelch" is also available. Whatever settings are chosen for those items will be displayed once selected and saved. "Level" is the factory default.

LOCK

You can lock the receiver to prevent someone from accidentally pressing SCAN, SYNC or the POWER button. Once everything is set and working, this is recommended.

Locking Feature For AP42

In order to insure that someone does not change a Group unintentionally, there is a Lock feature added to the AP42. Scroll through the menu to the "LOCK" screen and choose lock "ON." This will disable the SCAN, SYNC, SET, UP, and DOWN buttons. To unlock the receiver, scroll through the menu to the "LOCK" screen and choose lock "OFF". All functions will be enabled.

PILOT

This is an inaudible tone generated by the transmitter to the receiver as additional insurance to keep the receiver from generating noise when there is no signal present. The Pilot should be left ON and only be turned OFF temporarily if troubleshooting the system for problems.

SCAN

The option to perform a scan for a clear channel. The Audix Performance Series Wireless Scan feature performs a scan to find clear and open frequencies as well as compatible frequencies when using multiple systems.

T-LOCK

Transmitter lock. This function disables the POWER and MUTE button on the handheld transmitter. This helps prevent the transmitter from accidentally being MUTED or turned OFF during a performance.

Hint: The bodypack has this feature built into the menu.

IMPORTANT

After making a change to one of the menu settings above, it is important to RE-SYNC the microphone to the receiver in order to clear the previously saved information.

USING THE H60 HANDHELD TRANSMITTER

POWER ON/ MUTE

The button below the display powers ON the transmitter. To power OFF the transmitter, press and hold the button for 2 seconds. A quick touch of the POWER button will MUTE the transmitter. Another quick touch will restore signal. This is a noiseless function and is very convenient for applications where a vocalist or presenter wants complete control of the microphone.

LCD DISPLAY

The display indicates the frequency of the transmitter along with "Group/Channel". In order for the microphone to work, the frequency of the microphone must match that of the receiver. If they do not match, go into the Sync mode (see Quick Set Up Guide, pg 6).

The same rules of acoustics that apply to a wired microphone also apply to the handheld transmitter.

OM SERIES

The OM Series capsules are designed to maximize gain before feedback on stage. The hypercardioid pickup pattern of the microphones are designed to reject sound from instruments on stage. For best results, sing within a few inches of the microphone.

SETTING OUTPUT LEVEL

Choice of 10 Milliwatt or 30 Milliwatt RF transmission levels (pg 14).

VX5

The VX5 condenser microphone has a more open supercardioid pickup pattern. The extended on-axis reach is ideal for singer/songwriters, keyboard players and vocalists who want more freedom to work the microphone from a distance.

INTERCHANGEABLE CAPSULES

It is very easy to change a capsule assembly. Simply unscrew the capsule assembly at the ring above the Audix logo.

Hint: Do not unscrew the grill ball as it is a separate threaded piece intended to be removed separately from the capsule housing.

CONTROLLING DISTORTION

Audix capsules are designed to handle very high sound pressure levels without distortion. If distortion is detected, try to minimize or eliminate it from the mixing console by turning down the trim and gain controls. If distortion persists, there is a gain setting at the capsule. First remove the capsule assembly. Locate the dip switch on the green PCB inside the housing. Use a miniature screwdriver to move the switch from 0 dB to -6 or -12.

Close-up of a green printed circuit board with labeled components (no readable text or symbols)

DIP SWITCH FOR GAIN CONTROL

Hint: Padding the sensitivity of the capsule at the source is the most effective way to control distortion without changing the natural sound quality or response of the microphone.

USING THE B60 BODYPACK TRANSMITTER

There are three buttons that control the menu functions—SET, UP (forward) and DOWN (backwards). The functions controlled by the buttons are RF OUTPUT, LEVEL and LOCK.

There are 3 menu functions: RF POWER OUTPUT, LEVEL, LOCK.

RF POWER OUTPUT

This controls the level of the RF output. LO = 10 Milliwatts or HIGH = 30 Milliwatts.

POWER (ON/OFF/MUTE) SET UP (forward) DOWN (backwards) AUDIX® Performance Series B60

TO SET RF POWER OUTPUT

Make sure the bodypack is turned ON. Press and hold the SET button. Press the UP button until "RF AMP" or "RF OUTPUT" appears on the display. Press the SET button and the display will flash, indicating the current setting, either "HIGH" or "LO" or "10mW" or "30mW", depending on which bodypack model version you have. Press the UP button to toggle between HIGH = 30 milliwatt or LO = 10 milliwatt. Press SET to save the setting.

Hint: The Lo gain setting is helpful on a smaller stage with direct line of sight or in areas with a lot of wireless congestion. It also improves battery life.

GAIN CONTROLS

There are two level settings: Line Level and Mic Level. Mic level features three relative gain settings: 0, -6, -12. Line level features -24 dB for active guitar or bass pickups.

TO SET LEVEL

Press and hold the SET button until "LEVEL" appears on the display. Press the SET button once and Mic Level (gain) or Line Level will flash. Use the UP button or DOWN button to select either Mic or Line Level. Press the SET button again. Use the UP button or DOWN button to select the gain level desired. Press SET and the current setting will appear. Use the UP or DOWN button to scroll through the settings. Press SET to save the one you want.

LOCK

This disables the POWER button from being active. This prevents the bodypack from being accidentally turned off or muted. RF Output and LEVEL are locked when the B60 is locked.

TO SET LOCK

Press and hold the SET button and use the UP or DOWN buttons until "LOCK" appears on the display. Press the SET button and the current setting will flash "ON" or "OFF". Use the UP or DOWN button to scroll through the two options. Press SET to save the setting.

CONNECTOR

The bodypack uses a mini 3-pin XLR connector for all microphones. Other brands of microphones can be used with the Audix Performance Series Wireless system; however, it will be necessary to rewire the microphone connector to a mini 3-pin XLR (f). In this case, note the following pin configuration:

AudiX 860 Pin 3: Signal Pin 2: Bias (voltage) Pin 1: Shield

PERFORMANCE TIPS

The best position for a wireless receiver is within line of sight whenever possible. For more complex set ups, consider extending the antenna range by using the ANTDA4161 active antennas.

High quality batteries will provide the best results for handheld and bodypack transmitters. Rechargeable batteries typically have a shorter usage span. It is not possible to use two sets of transmitters simultaneously on the same frequency. It will not work. Each time a scan and sync is performed, the transmitter will always be tuned to the current frequency on the receiver. When using dual systems, always scan and sync each channel independently from one another.

SETTING UP MULTIPLE SYSTEMS

It is fairly straightforward to get 16 channels of wireless to work simultaneously within one frequency band (32 megs). This is done using a standard Scan and Sync method. The systems will stay in the same Group until the group maxes out its channel selection. At this point, it may be necessary to manually select a different Group for additional pre-coordinated channels.

Both antennas must be installed in order for the diversity function to work properly. Always attach both antennas to the receiver.
