The audio level display "AF" 1 shows full deflection for the duration of the overmodulation. correctly The audio level display "AF" 1 shows full deflection only during the loudest passages. This results in a signal with high background noise. Adjust a low input sensitivity when using condenser microphones, adjust a high input sensitivity when using dynamic microphones.

The lock mode icon 5 on the current standard display indicates that the lock mode is activated. For information on how to use the lock mode, refer to page 11. The extended menu "Advanced Menu" Setting the transmission frequencies for the frequency banks "U1" to "U6" ­ "Tune" When you have selected one of the system banks and then select the "Tune" menu item, the plug-on transmitter automatically switches to channel 1 of the frequency bank "U1". Upon delivery, the channels of the frequency banks "U1" to "U6" are not assigned a transmission frequency. When you are in the "Tune" menu item, the RF signal is deactivated. set a transmission frequency to be stored in the current channel of the frequency bank ("U1" to "U6") 2. or select a frequency bank ("U1" to "U6") and a channel and assign this channel a transmission frequency. It is vital to observe the notes on frequency selection on page 23.
