Setting Audio Output Levels

This sets the audio output level at the Audio Output

XLR Jacks. The front panel LEVEL control is only for

setting the audio output level in the PHONES jack.

Note: In OptiBlend (ratio diversity) and Frequency

Diversity modes, the Receiver Modules are paired

(1-2, 3-4, 5-6). Setting the audio level output on

one of the receivers in the pair, sets the audio

output to the same level on its compliment.

1. Set the audio input level for any equipment con­

nected to the VR Field System’s Audio Output XLR

Jacks to minimum. (This is to avoid annoying or

loud noises during setup.

2. Set the audio input level for the equipment con­

nected to the XLR jack associated with Receiver

Module 1 to the equipment manufacturer’s recom­

mendations.

3. Navigate to the Level Setup Screen, then use the

Receiver Select buttons to select receiver module 1

and set the audio output level to 0 dBu.

Note: The 0 dBu setting is a starting point. The

key is to provide as high a level signal as possible

without overdriving the input to external equipment

connected to the XLR Jack associated with the

receiver module, or receiver module pair. This

will minimize possible noise from the cables.

Generally speaking, the higher the output level in

the cables, the less you need to worry about cable

noise.

Caution: The 1 kHz reference tone is equivalent

to full modulation at the transmitter, i.e., it is

loud.

6. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until the audio output

level on all receiver modules has been set.

Setting Transmitter Battery Status Monitoring

1. Determine the types of transmitters being used and

the types of batteries installed in the transmitters.

Note: In 200 Series and Digital Hybrid (400

Series) compatibility modes, battery telemetry is

available and all TxBatt modes are valid. In all

other compatibility modes, only the battery timer

modes are valid. (See TxBatt Setup Screen in VR

Field System Reference Manual.)

2. Access the TxBatt Setup Screen.
3. Select Receiver Module 1.

Note: If the selected receiver module is part

of a ratio diversity pair, then setting the TxBatt

type monitoring for one receiver in the pair

automatically sets the TxBatt type monitoring

for the other receiver in the pair. If the selected

receiver module is part of a frequency diversity

pair, then each receiver in the pair is matched to a

different transmitter so the TxBatt type monitoring

setting is set independently of the other receiver

module in the diversity pair.

4. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display the

desired transmitter battery type, or timer for the

style of battery used by the transmitter (9V or AA).

(See TxBatt Setup Screen in VR Field System Ref­

erence Manual.)

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each receiver module.
