Setting Up ClearOne WS800 Wireless Systems for Optimal Performance

Open the Cartons: Confirm everything on the packing slip is enclosed.

1. Set up the Docking Station: ClearOne transmitters are shipped with

rechargeable batteries. Plug in the charging dock, put the batteries in the

transmitters, then place the transmitters in the dock while you set up the

rest of the system.

2. Mount the Receivers in the Rack and connect them to power. Confirm

the displays light up.

3. Antenna Design:

A. Place the antennas according to the guidelines mentioned

in the Antenna Applications Guide. Improper antenna

placement is the main cause of poor RF performance.

B. Dipole Antennas: Dipole antennas mounted to the rack

equipment can easily be locked away in a closet/rack

cabinet. This results in poor RF performance because there

is no line of sight between the transmitter and receiver

antenna. Therefore, remote antennas are preferred.

See the Antenna Application Guide for details.

4. Connect the Antennas: The receiver that connects to the antennas

should be set as the Antenna Master receiver. Master is the factory

default. If your system daisy-chains antennas together, the downstream

receivers should be set as Slaves. Terminators are used on the last

system in the daisy-chain. Use ClearOne Remote’s Antenna Setup

Wizard, which opens automatically the first time you connect. You can

also find the wizard under the SETTINGS tab of the main page. If

connecting ClearOne active remote antennas, make sure the red

LED lights up. If not, check the receiver’s antenna phantom power

setting using the ClearOne Remote Control Software.

5. Connect the analog outputs to the mixer: The system is shipped with either XLR or Euro

block connectors. The default output level is set to +4 dBu. Note that factory default for

the front panel headphone jack is set for mixed line-level out. Use ClearOne

Remote>Settings>Headphone, to reset for headphones.

CAUTION! Turn off phantom power from the mixer. Phantom power distorts the audio

quality of your microphones.

6. System Test: In most cases, the system is now ready to use. Confirm all channels pass

audio perfectly.
