Stage 200: Dual Handheld Wireless System
Squelch Control
The Squelch circuit mutes the audio output of the receiver when the radio signal is
below the squelch setting. Setting the squelch control to the lowest setting will provide
the greatest range, but when the transmitter signal is lost, the receiver may pass
background noise. As the setting is increased, the range may be reduced, but it will
reduce the likelihood of passing noise through the audio system.
Checking the Squelch Setting
Temporarily turn down the level of your mixer/
amplifier system and turn off the power to your
transmitter, leaving the SR200 on. Then restore the
previously set level of your mixer/amplifier. With the
transmitter off, the receiver output should be totally
silent, if it is, skip ahead to the next step. If it isn’t
(that is, if you hear some noise), you may need to
adjust the receiver’s rear panel Squelch control. When
the Squelch control is at the “LO” setting, the Stage 200 system provides maximum
range without dropout; however, depending upon the particular environment your system
is used in, you may need to reduce that range somewhat in order to eliminate band
noise or interference when the transmitter is turned off. To do so, move Squelch switch
to the “MID” or “HI” position until the noise disappears. If no noise is present at any
position, leave it at its “LO” position (so as to have the greatest overall range available).

Quick Start Guide
Follow these basic procedures for setting up and using your Stage 200 Wireless System.
1. Connect the SR200 receiver power adaptor
to the rear panel DC input, and then to an
electrical outlet. Fully extend the antennas
vertically.
2. Connect the receiver’s appropriate ¼” outputs
to the input of a mixer, stereo, karaoke
machine, or any other line level input.
3. With the transmitter powered off, rotate the
bottom section and slide down to expose the
battery compartment. install two fresh AA
batteries into the VH200 handheld transmitter.
4. Place the SR200 receiver where it will be used
(the general rule of thumb is to maintain “line
of sight” between the receiver and transmitters
so that the person(s) using the transmitter can
see the receiver). Turn on the power of the
SR200 receiver.

Quick Start Guide
5. Turn on the connected amplifier and/or
mixer, but keep its volume all the way down.
Next, make sure that your transmitter is
un-muted and set the Volume Control knob
on the SR200 fully clockwise; this is unity
gain. Speak or sing into the mic at a normal
performance level while slowly raising the
volume of your amplifier/mixer until the
desired level is reached.
6. If you hear distortion at the desired volume level (or if the AF indicator is flashing
red), make sure that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set (consult
the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If you still hear
distortion, lower the Volume knob of the SR200 in order to further attenuate the
output signal.
7. When first setting up the Stage 200 System in a new environment, it is a good idea
to do a walk-around in order to make sure that coverage is provided for your entire
performance area. Accordingly, turn down the level of your audio system and turn
on both the transmitter and receiver. Then, with the transmitter un-muted, restore
the level of your audio system. While speaking or singing, walk through the entire
area that will need to be covered. As you do so, the “RF” LED on the front panel of
the SR200 should always remain lit. Always try to minimize the distance between
transmitter and receiver as much as possible so that the strongest possible signal is
received from all planned transmission points.
Microphone Usage
The VH200 microphone is unidirectional, which
means it picks up sound from the front of the
microphone and rejects sound from the rear.
This will help reduce the chance of feedback.
In general, you can avoid feedback by taking
care not to point the microphone directly in
front of a speaker (if this is unavoidable, try
using an equalizer to attenuate high- or midrange frequencies which can cause feedback or
“squealing”).

Troubleshooting
Issue
Solutions
Turn on the VH200 transmitter using the Power/Mutr switch.
Ensure the VH200 transmitter’s batteries are installed correctly.
Confirm that the SR200 adaptor is correctly connected and
plugged into an electrical outlet.
No Audio
Turn on the SR200 receiver.
Make sure the SR200 output and audio input connections
are securely connected.
Ensure that the SR200 receiver and VH200 transmitters are
in line of sight with one another.
Check the receiver and audio input device level controls.
Check the receiver output level and audio input device level.
Distorted Audio
Check the VH200’s batteries and replace if low.
Another transmitter may be broadcasting on the same channel.
Turn off transmitter that may be causing interference.
The transmitter may be too far away from the receiver. Move
closer to the receiver, or reposition the antennas.
Audio Dropout
Remove any sources that may cause RF interference, such as
cell phones, cordless phones, lighting equipment, computers,
etc.
