4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Selecting Monitoring Mode (Stereo/Mono)

The system supports both stereo and mono monitoring modes. Stereo mode provides a wider soundstage, while mono mode offers a summed, balanced signal. You can switch modes using two methods:

1. Method 1 (Transmitter):

   Press the SET button on the main transmitter unit to toggle between stereo and mono modes. The LCD display will indicate the current mode (S for Stereo, M for Mono).

2. Method 2 (Bodypack Receiver):

   Press the power button on the bodypack receiver to switch between stereo and mono modes. Note: When the transmitter is in stereo mode, both stereo and mono options are available on the bodypack. However, if the transmitter is set to mono, the bodypack will default to mono regardless of its setting.
