Portable Wireless Sound System
Adding a Second Wireless Channel to your Long Ranger
A very popular feature of the Long Ranger is the ability
to add a second wireless channel to an existing system
in the field. The Lectrosonics Add-On Receiver system
was expressly designed for that purpose. The standard
system consists of an Add-On receiver, a transmitter
and a microphone.
The Add-On receiver is supplied with velcro attach­
ing strips and is equipped with the necessary cabling
for making the connections to the Long Ranger. The
receiver is installed on the Long Ranger by performing
the following steps as shown in Figure 4:
1) The antenna cable for the Add-On is packed
together with screws, lock washers and the velcro
strips. The antenna cable is terminated with two
ring lugs. Feed the lug end of this cable through the
hole in the Long Ranger rear panel upright. Dress
the cable along the top of the battery pack along
with the speaker wires as shown in Figure 4.
2) Remove and discard the two black Phillips head
screws from the bottom of the antenna strip on the
right-hand side of the speaker and from the speaker
mounting block. Using the supplied bright screws
and lock washers, connect the shield ring lug (the
black wire) to the speaker mounting block. Connect
the center conductor ring lug (the clear/white wire)
to the antenna. Tighten both screws securely.
3) The Add-On receiver is to be mounted on the Long
Ranger upright with velcro. The receiver should
be positioned, control panel up, between the horn
mounting screw and the screw which secures the
battery pack to the upright. Remove the paper
backing from one side of the velcro and affix it to
the back of the receiver. Remove the remaining
paper backing and affix the receiver to the upright.
4) Route the antenna cable through the hole in the
rear upright panel, above the battery pack so that
the black and white wires reach the speaker mount­
ing block. Connect the remaining two cables to the
12V DC OUTPUT jack and the LINE input jack on
the control panel.
