4. divides the metal portion into two sections tip sleeve Check that all cables are plugged all the way into the mixer and the P3T inputs Sometimes if a cable is not fully inserted the signal will be faint and distorted Make sure you are using the line level outputs from the mixer If you have a powered mixer do not use the main speaker outputs as they are amplified signals and will overload the P3T inputs No sound from receiver Make sure the transmitter and receiver are linked to the same group and channel e Verify levels are registering at the transmitter and that the volume is turned up on the receiver e Check that the receiver is on and that the headphones are properly connected to the receiver Turning the MixMode knob does not affect the sound e The Stereo MX Mono switch on the rear panel of the P3T may be switched to mono For the MixMode knob to work the transmitter must be set to Stereo MX e Verify that the signals going from the mixer to the transmitter are not identical e Check that the bodypack is set to MixMode Low audio output at the receiver Audio or RF drops out Check headphone connection and volume level If only sending a single channel into the P3T transmitter check it the MixMode knob isn t turned towards a silent channel If using one channel set the P3T transmitter to mono mode Perform a scan to ensure the receiver is on a clear available frequency
