Wireless EarAmp® Transmitter Rear Panel

1: DC input - Connect the supplied power adapter here, using the strain relief as silkscreened on the
rear panel. WARNING: The substitution of any other kind of power adapter can cause severe damage to
the Wireless EarAmp® transmitter and will void your warranty.
2: Stereo/Mono switch - When set to Stereo, the incoming left and right audio signal(s) are kept
separate; when set to Mono, only signal connected to the left Main and.or Aux input (see #4 and #8
below) is used (the right signal is muted) and is transmitted to both channels of the receiver.
3: Aux Inputs - Use these two balanced 1/4" TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) jacks when you wish to connect a
secondary signal to the Wireless EarAmp® transmitter. Wiring is Tip hot, Ring cold, and Sleeve ground.
We recommend the use of balanced three-conductor cabling wherever possible (unbalanced two-
conductor 1/4" plugs can also be inserted into these inputs, but youll get better signal quality and less
outside noise and hum if you use balanced lines). When connecting a monophonic signal, use the left
jack only and set the Stereo/Mono switch (see #2 above) to the Mono position.
4: Aux Input Attenuator switch - A 15 dB attenuator (pad) for the Aux inputs. In normal operation, this
switch should be set to the left 0 dB position. If the incoming signal is too strong and is distorting, set
this to the right -15 dB position.
5: Aux Input Level control - Use a screwdriver to adjust this control until the desired level of Aux signal
(relative to the Main signal) is reached. If nothing is connected to the Aux Inputs (see #3 above), this
should be left at its fully counterclockwise position (completely off).
6: RJ45 Serial Port - Used to connect the Wireless EarAmp® transmitter to a computer for optional
remote control via software.
7: Daisy Chain Inputs/Outputs - These balanced 1/4" TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) jacks are wired in parallel
with the Main inputs (see #8 below) and can be used to route the incoming Main signal to external
devices at unity gain. Alternatively, they can be used as inputs, bringing a third stereo or mono signal
into the Wireless EarAmp® transmitter (albeit without an attenuator switch or level control) if necessary.
Wiring is Tip hot, Ring cold, and Sleeve ground. See the Setting Up and Using The Wireless EarAmp®”
section on page 8 of this manual for more information.
8: Main Inputs - Connect incoming signal to these electronically balanced Combination connectors,
using either XLR or 1/4" TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) connectors, wired as follows: Pin 2 (or Tip) hot, Pin 3 (or
Ring) cold, and Pin 1 (or Sleeve) ground. We recommend the use of balanced three-conductor cabling
wherever possible (unbalanced two-conductor 1/4" cables can also be inserted into these inputs, but
youll get better signal quality and less outside noise and hum if you use balanced lines). When
connecting a monophonic signal, use the left jack only and set the Stereo/Mono switch (see #2 above) to
the Mono position.
9: Main Input Attenuator switch - A 15 dB attenuator (pad) for the Main inputs. In normal operation,
this switch should be set to the left 0 dB position. If the incoming signal is too strong and is distorting,
set this to the right -15 dB position.
