Wireless SYSTEM FEATURES Shure LX Wireless Systems offer a number of exceptional features, including: • Exclusive Shure MARCAD Circuitry (LX4). MARCAD (MAximum Ratio Combining Audio Diversity) circuitry constantly monitors signals from both receiver sections and combines them to create a single output signal. The result is improved reception and exceptional freedom from dropouts. • Half-Rack Receiver Size.

English RECEIVER MOUNTING Single Rack–Mounted Receiver (Figure 6) If the receiver is to be located on a table or other horizontal surface, attach the four adhesive bumpers to the bottom corners of the receiver. If the receiver is to be mounted in an audio equipment rack, identify the rack-mount kits supplied with your system and follow the appropriate assembly directions below. 1. Remove two screws from each side of the receiver. 2.
PAGE 11
Wireless RECEIVER CONNECTIONS (FIGURE 8) 1. Attach the supplied quarter-wave antenna(s) to the antenna connector(s) on the receiver back panel. For best performance, the LX4 receiver antennas should be oriented with the tips pointing away from each other at a 45° angle from vertical. The LX3 receiver antenna should be vertical. 2. Connect the receiver output to the mixer or amplifier input, using a standard audio cable with a female 3-pin XLR connector or 1/4-inch phone plug. 3.

Wireless GAIN AND SQUELCH ADJUSTMENT Adjusting the Transmitter Audio Gain Level (Figure 16) The transmitter audio gain level has been factory pre-set to provide satisfactory output in most applications. However, for loud singers or high-output musical instruments, the preset level may be too high, as indicated by the constant glow of the red light on the receiver audio level meter.
PAGE 18
English Adjusting the Receiver Squelch Control (Figure 17) The receiver squelch control is factory preset at the 12 o’clock position for optimum performance. No further adjustment is normally required. However, it is possible to adjust the squelch control to emphasize either signal quality or system range. • To raise the squelch threshold, rotate the control clockwise. This causes the receiver to demand a higher quality signal (less noise before muting), but it reduces the operating range.
