OptiBlend (Ratio Diversity) Setup
1. From the Overview Screen, Navigate to SetupRx
and then to the DivMode Setup Screen.
2. Press the front panel Receiver Select Button for
either Receiver Module in the pair to be used for
OptiBlend diversity. (In the example, Receiver Se­
lect button 5 or 6 was pressed.)
3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display “Ra­
tio.” The Receiver Module boxes on the screen bot­
tom will display “RAT” for both the selected receiver
an its compliment.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining receiver
module pairs to be set to ratio diversity operation.
Frequency Diversity Setup
Frequency Diversity differs from the other two diver­
sity modes in that it uses two receiver modules and
two transmitters with each receiver module/transmitter
combination operating on a different frequency. In order
for Frequency Diversity to function properly, the audio
outputs of the two transmitters must be balanced. (See
Frequency Diversity Mode Audio Balancing to properly
balance the audio output from each transmitter.)
Note: Both transmitters must be the same model.
1. From the Overview Screen, Navigate to SetupRx
and then to the DivMode Setup Screen.
2. Press the front panel Receiver Select Button for
either Receiver Module in the pair to be used for
frequency diversity.
3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display “Fre­
quency.” The Receiver Module boxes on the screen
bottom will display “FRQ” for both the selected
receiver an its compliment.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining receiver
module pairs to be set to frequency diversity opera­
tion.
Compat (compatibility) Mode
This procedure assumes that the external equipment
has already been connected to the appropriate XLR
Audio Output Jacks on the rear panel.
For receiver modules set to switched diversity, each re­
ceiver module in the diversity pair is set independently
of the other member of the pair.
For receiver modules that are part of a ratio diversity or
frequency diversity pair, setting the compatibility mode,
audio levels, etc. for one member of the diversity pair,
sets the same parameter for the other member of the
diversity pair. The exception is for frequency diversity,
battery status monitoring can be set for each individual
transmitter.
Five compatibility modes are available for each receiver
module to match various transmitter types. They are:
Selection:. .
Abbreviation:
Dig. Hybrid HYB
Mode 3 M3
200 Series 200
100 Series 100
IFB IFB
Mode 6 M6
The Compatibility Mode for each receiver module must
match the transmitter associated with that module.
1. To set a receiver’s compatibility mode,
navigate to the Compat Setup Screen.
2. Use the Receiver Select buttons to select
Receiver Module 1.
3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to
display the desired Compatibility Mode. An
abbreviation for the mode selected will be
displayed in the Receiver Module box for the
selected receiver(s).
4. Use the Receiver Select buttons to select the
next Receiver Module, or next receiver module
pair, and repeat Step 3.
Shortcut
It’s possible to shorten setup times by copying the
parameter of the currently selected receiver to other
receivers. This is done by pressing and holding the
Receiver Select button for current receiver module
and pressing the Receiver Select buttons for all
other receiver modules which are to receive the
same parameter.
