User Guide

1. RACKMOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER
The PM1000 includes two rack-mount ears that are easily attached for single-
space rackmounting. (Note: Do not mount directly above an amplifier or other
source of high heat. Always ensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation in
any rack configuration.)
2. ANTENNA
Connect the two ANTENNA to the front panel BNC ANTENNA JACKS. Optimal
antenna position is vertical. For maximum range maintain a line-of-sight (no
obstructions) between the transmitter antennae and the receiver(s).
3. AUDIO INPUTS
The PM1000 transmitter features a LEFT and RIGHT XLR-1/4" balanced inputs.
Stereo monitor mixes from your console can be connected to the LEFT and
RIGHT INPUTS with either balanced XLR or 1/4” connectors. Two mono mon-
itor mixes can also be inserted in this manner.
4. STEREO/MONO SWITCH
Select STEREO to retain discrete L-R stereo monitor mixes. Select MONO for
mono mixes. Mono signals from inputs 1 and 2 are combined and transmitted
in mono on both the left and right channels. Note that using balanced XLR
cables will provide a stronger signal (+6dB louder than 1/4“ cables).
CAUTION: When making any connection, make sure that the PM1000
TRANSMIT LEVEL CONTROL and the console output levels are set at minimum
volume before plugging into the transmitter. This will avoid possible loud tran-
sients being heard by the person wearing the receiver and earbuds.
5. POWERING THE TRANSMITTER
Plug the 12V AC/DC ADAPTER provided into the rear DC INPUT JACK on the
back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. (Note: Any
12-15V DC source with 500mA capability can also be used.)
6. POWER SWITCH
Press the front POWER SWITCH to turn on the transmitter. The POWER LED
will now illuminate.
7. TRANSMITTER CHANNEL SELECTOR-
CHANNEL LED DISPLAY
Both the PM1000 transmitter and PM1001 receiver offer a choice of 16 chan-
nels in the UHF band. Select an open frequency that doesn't interfere with any
other
PM1000 or UHF wireless system by turning the small CHANNEL
SELECT CONTROL on the front panel of the PM1000 until the channel you
want is displayed on the CHANNEL LED DISPLAY. A small screwdriver (one is
included) will be required to turn the CHANNEL SELECT control. It is designed
this way so the channels aren’t switched accidentally.
(NOTE: you must also
check with the receiver to set and ensure that the chosen channel is open
i.e., no interferance from other UHF sources...see PM1001 RECEIVER on
the next page)
If different mixes are required for performers, additional
PM1000 transmitters and receivers set to other channels can also be used.
Up to 8 PM1000 systems on different frequencies can be operated simultane-
ously to provide multiple discrete mixes to the performers.
NOTE: NEVER SET MORE THAN ONE TRANSMITTER TO THE SAME OPERAT-
ING FREQUENCY.
If you experience interference or unsatisfactory audio performance, change the
channel until the problem goes away. In the extremely rare circumstance that
such a problem persists, turn off all UHF wireless systems being used or phys-
ically move their receivers away from the PM1000 transmitter. In some
instances, UHF wireless systems and the PM1000 system can interact if they
are too close in frequency.
8. ADJUSTING TRANSMIT LEVELS
Adjust TRANSMIT LEVEL CONTROL for optimum transmit performance. This
control adjusts both the left and right signals simultaneously in the same man-
ner. For further control of each signal, use the left and right stereo monitor out-
put level control on your console providing the signal. Adjust the TRANSMIT
LEVEL CONTROL on the PM1000 so that the first six GREEN LED indicators
light. The top two RED LED’s indicate the signal is near maximum which will
result in distortion. Keep your levels from going into the RED RED LED’s.
9. HEADPHONE MONITORING
The signal being transmitted can be monitored with a pair of headphones via
the stereo PHONES JACK. The volume can be adjusted as desired with the
MONITOR LEVEL CONTROL.
