Set up the Docking Staon:1. ClearOne transmiers are shipped with rechargeable baeries. Plug in the charging dock, put the baeries in the transmiers, then place the transmiers in the dock while you set up the rest of the system. Mount the Receivers in the Rack2. and connect them to power. Conrm the displays light up. Pre-engineered Antenna Design: 3. If you provided ClearOne with a oor plan, you will nd a marked up version in the box (or, in your Email in-box) showing the antenna design along with the antennas and pre-made cables. Place the antennas according to the drawings. Your Own Design: A. If you did not request an antenna design, place the antennas according to the enclosed Antenna Applicaons Guide Improper antenna placement is the main cause of poor RF performance. Dipole Antennas: B. 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 transmier and receiver antenna. Therefore, remote antennas are preferred. See the Antenna Applicaon Guide for details. Connect the Antennas:4. 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 automacally the rst me you connect. You can also nd the wizard under the SETTINGS tab of the main page. If connecng ClearOne acve remote antennas, make sure the red LED lights up. If not, check the receiver’s antenna phantom power seng using the ClearOne Remote Control Soware. Connect the analog outputs to the mixer:5. The system is shipped with 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>Sengs>Headphone, to reset for headphones. CAUTION! Turn o phantom power from the mixer. Phantom power distorts the audio quality of your microphones. System Test:6. In most cases, the system is now ready to use. Conrm all channels pass audio perfectly.Modicaons (FCC 15.21)Changes or modicaons to this equipment not expressly approved by ClearOne may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

1) Locate the IR (infrared) Sensor on the transmier3) Hold transmier about 6 inches from the corresponding receiver module with the IR sensor aimed at the receiver module.4) Simultaneously press the two buons on the boom of the corresponding receiver module to start sending the IR signal. “SYNCING” shows on the receiver OLED when the IR signal starts. “SYNC OK” shows when the sync is successful. Repeat the procedure if the receiver display shows “SYNC FAILED”. It is not necessary to press any buons on the transmier during the procedure. Note: You may get a “Sync Failed” message if the receiver antennas are not in the same room as the receiver. In this case verify that either the transmier display shows “Sync Good” OR the green LED on the transmier ashes. Also make sure to dock each transmier aer syncing to avoid 2 transmiers being synced to the same receiver frequency.

ClearOne receiver main-frames hold either four or eight, independent, 24-bit digital audio receiver modules. There is a front-panel mixed audio output for headphones or direct recording. Each module shares the main-frame’s two antennas for full-diversity. Up to eight receiver main-frames can be daisy-chained together into an antenna network that shares two antennas. This eliminates the need for external antenna distribuon amps. Main-frames can be connected to form an Ethernet network that monitor and control the system via a computer. Main-frames also have USB and RS233 connecons for serial monitor and control. AES/EBU digital audio output and word clock sync is oponal.1.

(NOTE: This feature is optional. The connector jack is included on all receivers, but the feature must be specified at the time of purchase. It cannot be added at a later date.)BNC connectors:6. for word clock digital-audio synchronizing.GPIO/RS232:7. This connector combines a General Purpose Input / Output (GPIO) and a RS232 on one DB25 connector. The RS232 can be disabled to add up to 24 GPIO pins. RS232: The pinout for the RS232 is the standard pinout. Pin 2 on the receiver is transmit, pin 3 is receive, and pin 7 is ground. Most computers now use a DB9 connector for RS232. The standard off-the-shelf DB9 to DB25 cable will work. This cable swaps pins 2 and 3 internally. If you computer has a DB25 connector for RS232, use a straight DB25 to DB25 cable. Do not use a null modem cable. GPIO: GPIO acts like a contact closure. Use ClearOne Remote to assign an event that toggles the GPIO pin. The factory default toggles pins X through X to correspond to muting a receiver module. ClearOne Remote has a feature that lets you assign how the system responds to a transmitter mute (see ClearOne Remote) A. Mute the channel’s receiver audio. (Factory default) B. Toggle the GPIO but do not mute the receiver audio. Use this with automated mixers or echo cancelling DSPs. C. Mute the channels receiver audio and toggle the GIPO pin. Audio Output Jacks:8.

Digital Wireless Microphone SystemsTransmiers:1. Heads: Four (4) microphone elements are available, both condenser and dynamic, depending on the applicaon of the microphone user (including Audix OM3 and OM5 dynamic heads). In general, condenser heads are more “transparent” and do not require the microphone to be held as close to the mouth. On the other hand, dynamic heads are oen preferred for live performance because they tend to accent the bass tones and they do not distort with very loud singing.2.
