Single/Dual-Channel Wireless Mic Receiver    Crestron MP-FS-RX1/RX2 Setup Installation The MP-FS-RX1/RX2 can be placed on any convenient flat surface in the room, such as a desk, shelf, table, or ceiling-mounted third-party equipment platform. • Install all accessory hardware, including power pack, MP-FSIR Beacon Sensor(s), MP-FS-PAS Audio Sensor, FS6 or FSDI8 speakers, following their supplied instructions. • For the MP-FS-RX1, attach the supplied single antenna; for the  MP-FS-RX2, attach the cables from the two supplied antennas (the antennas should be spaced at least 6 feet (~ 2 meters) apart. • Orientation of antennas for desk, shelf, or table mounting installations should be straight up. For ceiling mounted installations (including the  MP-FS-RX1 on a third-party ceiling-mounted equipment platform), antenna orientation should be straight down. For wall-mounted installations, the antennas should be at a 45° angle, either up or down, from the wall. • Install all other required interconnecting cables. Hardware Hookup Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that follows this paragraph. Apply power after all connections have been made. When making connections to the MP-FS-RX1/RX2, note the following: • Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Hardware Connections for the MP-FS-RX1/RX2   NOTE:  Ensure the unit is properly grounded by connecting the chassis ground lug to an earth ground (building steel). 8  •  Single/Dual-Channel Wireless Mic Receiver: MP-FS-RX1/RX2  Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7164A

Single/Dual-Channel Wireless Mic Receiver    Crestron MP-FS-RX1/RX2 Operation Basic Procedures Before beginning, ensure that the MP-FS-RX1/RX2 receiver is installed and connected as instructed in “Setup” on page 8, that power is on (the green LED is on), that line level audio is supplied from a DVD player, a laptop computer, or other device, and that the MP-FSMIC microphone has been fully charged. Microphone Button/LED Functions  During the following verification procedures, refer to the illustration above.  Pair Microphone with Receiver 1. Hold the MP-FSMIC ON button until the mic Status LED rapidly flashes green. 2. The mic will begin pairing with the receiver. Make sure the mic has line of sight proximity to the MP-FSIR. When pairing is complete, the Status LED will slowly blink green. Time to pair is typically between five and ten seconds. The mic must be turned off and turned on again to pair to another receiver. Mute and Volume Adjustments 1. Press the MUTE button to mute the mic (observe the blink pattern); press it again to un-mute. When muted, the mic automatically turns off after two minutes. 2. When the mic is not muted, the VOL button can be used to adjust the mic volume. 3. When the mic is muted, the VOL button adjusts the line level audio volume. 4. Line volume is automatically “ducked” (reduced) when the user talks into the mic. 5. Hold the MUTE button for five seconds to turn off the mic (turns off automatically if muted for two minutes, or when placed in the charger.) 6. If the mic loses sight of the MP-FSIR for seven seconds (time is configurable), the mic will automatically mute (turns off automatically if muted for two minutes).  7. If RF link is lost for 10 seconds, mic turns off. Emergency Trigger Hold the ALERT button for eight seconds (time is configurable) to generate two beeps from the speakers and close the alert relay contacts until the button is released. 10  •  Single/Dual-Channel Wireless Mic Receiver: MP-FS-RX1/RX2  Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7164A
Crestron MP-FS-RX1/RX2    Single/Dual-Channel Wireless Mic Receiver Receiver Controls - Default Settings BASS and TREBLE: Typically, set these controls to their center detent positions. Slightly reducing treble can help to reduce feedback. MASTER VOLUME: Have the instructor speak from the most likely position in the room and adjust this control clockwise so that the speakers just begin to exhibit feedback, and then reduce the setting slightly by turning counterclockwise.
