- Connect the Transmitter to Audio Source:
- For mono connections (e.g., single instrument, microphone), use the 3.5mm audio cable with the 6.35mm TS adapter if needed, and connect it to the Audio Input of the transmitter.
- For stereo connections (e.g., mixer stereo output), use the 3.5mm audio cable with the 6.35mm TRS adapter if needed, and connect it to the Audio Input of the transmitter.
The PM-1 system is compatible with a wide range of professional audio equipment.
- Connect Headphones to Receiver: Plug your 3.5mm headphones or in-ear monitors into the Audio Output jack of the receiver.
- Select Mono/Stereo Mode: Use the MONO/STEREO switch on both the transmitter and receiver to select your desired audio mode. Ensure both devices are set to the same mode for proper operation.
The system features automatic pairing for quick and easy setup.
5. Operating Instructions
Basic Operation:
- Volume Adjustment: Use the Volume Control buttons on the receiver to adjust your monitoring volume.
- Channel Selection: If you experience interference, tap the Channel Switch button on the transmitter to cycle through the 10 available frequencies until a clear signal is found. The receiver will automatically follow the transmitter's channel.
- Monitoring from Transmitter: The transmitter includes a 3.5mm audio output, allowing sound engineers to monitor the input signal directly, even when console output is limited.
Mono/Stereo Modes:
The PM-1 system supports both mono and stereo audio modes:
- Mono Mode: Provides identical audio to both earpieces for precise tonal feedback. Ideal for monitoring a single instrument or vocal track.
- Stereo Mode: Delivers separate audio to the left and right earpieces for enhanced spatial awareness and a more immersive listening experience. Ideal for full band mixes.
Choose between Mono for precise feedback or Stereo for enhanced spatial awareness.
One-to-Many Connectivity:
The PM-1 transmitter can broadcast to multiple receivers simultaneously. This feature is ideal for band rehearsals, live performances, and situations requiring multiple individuals to monitor the same audio source.
- To add more receivers, simply power on additional PM-1 receivers within range of the transmitter. They will automatically pair.
- Ensure all paired receivers are set to the same MONO/STEREO mode as the transmitter.
A single transmitter can broadcast audio to multiple receivers, enabling seamless team coordination.
Effortlessly connect to multiple receivers for a flawless live audio experience.
