RemoteMix 2™ Broadcast Field Mixer

1) How long will the batteries last in my RemoteMix 2?
There are many variables that affect battery life. All of our battery life tests
included 2 headphones playing music at average listening levels. These tests
use standard alkaline batteries. Lithium batteries can add 3 to 4 times the
battery life, at 3 to 4 times the cost.
The following numbers are from lab tests and may not represent your usage:
12 hours of broadcast through the phone line hybrid, using dynamic
microphones.
2) Why doesn’t my RemoteMix 2 ring when a call comes in?
The audible ringer found on some of our other RemoteMix units was replaced
with a visual ring indicator on the RemoteMix 2. This red LED flashes when a
call comes in. The <Ring> indicator is located directly below the keypad on
the front of the unit.
3) Will any cellular telephone work with RemoteMix 2?
The wireless interface on the RemoteMix 2 works very well with most cellular
telephones. However, some wireless telephones generate excessive RF
noise which can be heard as a “chattering” or “motor boat” sound. The noise
from these particular telephones will be unacceptable for most broadcast
applications. Also, some wireless phones have the standard 2.5 mm headset
jack while others have a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and others have
proprietary jacks. Adaptors to convert the proprietary jack to a standard
3-conductor 2.5 mm jack or 4-conductor 3.5mm jack are available for most
wireless telephones through their dealers, local electronic stores or many
internet stores
4) What kind of device can I connect to the Cue Input?
Setting the switch for the dual-purpose 1/4” input to <Cue Input> will provide
a standard line level input for connection to another audio device, such as a
portable radio. The audio signal will be sent to both of the headphone outputs.
This way, your announcers can listen for a cue from their radio station at the
end of a station break.
5) The cellular interface cable was left behind at our last event.
Can I get a replacement at our local audio supply store?
This is a custom made cable and is not wired the same as those that may be
available at your local electronics store. Please contact your JK Audio dealer
or our Customer Service department and ask for either a CN045 or a CN113
replacement cable. The CN045 has a 2.5 mm TRS headset plug and the
CN113 has a 3.5 mm TRRS headset plug. Most newer phones, especially
those that include a mp3 player, have a 3.5mm TRRS headset jack and
therefore require the CN113 cable.
