4. Connecting the Audio InputThe PEM-500T transmitter features a 1/4" TRS balanced MIC INPUT (9) and a linelevel balanced XLR jack for the LEFT and RIGHT LINE INPUTS (10). The MIC INPUTallows the use of a microphone alone for easy cueing of performers while on stage,which can be useful in many applications. It can be used even with input signalsalso connected to the LINE INPUTS. Select the input jack appropriate for thesignal(s) you are feeding to the transmitter:A. For a microphone input, plug a balanced 1/4" TRS or an unbalanced 1/4"TS cable from a dynamic microphone into the MIC INPUT.B. Stereo monitor mixes from your console can be connected to the LEFT andRIGHT LINE INPUTS with balanced XLR connectors. Mono monitor mixes canalso be input in this manner. Select STEREO for stereo inputs and MONO formono inputs, as appropriate, with the STEREO/MONO SWITCH (11). Monosignals are transmitted on both the left and right channels equally with thevolume adjustable by the AUDIO LEVEL CONTROL (12). The gain of stereosignals can be further adjusted separately (L/R) by the console monitor feed.With the STEREO/MONO SWITCH set to MONO, a stereo input signal willbe transmitted as mono. If the switch is set to STEREO, a mono signal will stillbe transmitted as mono. If a signal is input only to one of either the left orright LINE INPUTS and the switch is set to STEREO, it will only be transmittedon that side. However, if the switch is then set to MONO, it will betransmitted on both sides as a MONO signal. See also Selecting Stereo orMono Operation in the PEM-500R Receiver section.(Note: As when making any connection, make sure that the PEM-500T AUDIOLEVEL CONTROL and the console output levels are set at minimum volume beforeplugging into the transmitter. This will avoid possible loud transients in the PEM-500R receiver if it is already turned on, and with earphones plugged into theuser’s ears.)7PEM-500T TRANSMITTER1. Rackmounting the transmitterThe PEM-500T requires no installation and can be used on any flat surface.However, in some applications rack mounting is preferred. There are 2 optionsavailable for rackmounting the PEM-500T transmitter: singly or side-by-side withanother PEM-500T transmitter.• Single mounting: The PEM-500T is supplied with RE-5 RACK EARS (1) whichcan be attached with the screws provided on the front of the side panels toenable rackmounting the receiver.• Side-by-side dual mounting: Two PEM-500T transmitters can be rackmountedside-by-side using the optional RKT-25 RACK KIT TRAY (2) which holds 2transmitters.(Note: Do not mount the transmitter(s) in a rack directly above an amplifier or othersource of high heat–this could degrade the performance of the PEM-500T. Alwaysensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)2. Powering the TransmitterPlug the 14V AC ADAPTER (3) provided into the AC INPUT JACK (4) on the back ofthe receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.Press the POWER SWITCH (5) once to turn on the transmitter. The POWER ON LED(6) will now light and the transmitter is operational.3. AntennaConnect the ANTENNA (7) or optional remote antenna on the back panel to theANTENNA JACK (8). Optimal antenna position is vertical. For maximum range, it isalways best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions) between the transmitterantenna and the receiver(s) at all times whenever possible.OPERATION6
