DKW-8U Receiver
1. Receiver Placement
This unit is designed for desktop use
and can be placed on any flat surface
that is secure. Do not place, however, on
amplifiers or other equipment that can get
hot in operation. This unit is not designed
for rackmounting.
2. Powering the Receiver
Plug the 14V/0.4A DC ADAPTER (1) provided
into the DC IN jack (2) on the back of the
receiver. Then plug the power supply into
an AC outlet. The POWER LED (3) will now
light and the receiver is operational.
3. Antenna
The DKW-8U receiver is supplied with an
attached FOLDING ANTENNA (4). This should
be extended fully to obtain maximum range.
Optimal antenna position is 45 degrees
from the receiver. For maximum range, it
is always best to maintain a line of sight
(no obstructions) between the receiver
and the transmitter antenna at all times
whenever possible.
4. Mute (Squelch)
The DKW-8U has a preset mute (Squelch)
internally for maximum range and
performance. There is no need to adjust
this. In normal operation, the SIGNAL LED
(5) should be lit when the transmitter is
transmitted. However, when the signal LED
extinguishes, the transmitter is out of range
for that given location, and the user should
move closer to the receiver to re-establish
the radio link.
5. Connecting the Audio Output
The DKW-8U receiver provides with an
adjustable 1⁄4” line level AUDIO OUT jack (6).
(Note: As when making any connection, make
sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the
minimum level before plugging in the receiver to
avoid possible sound system damage.)
Microphone Connection
(Using the HT-8U handheld microphone
or the BT-8U transmitter with either
a headworn or lavalier microphone
transmitter)
For microphone use, the 1/4” line level
AUDIO OUT can be used. Plug one end of a
1/4” audio cable into the AUDIO OUT JACK
(6) located in the back of the receiver. Plug
the other audio cable end to you mixing
board input. Make sure the phantom power
on your mixing board is turned off and
the volume in turned down when making
the audio connections. Start the receiver
VOLUME (7) at MINIMUM and adjust until
the volume level is optimal.
Instrument Connection
To use the 1/4” line level AUDIO OUT JACK (6)
for instrument use, follow the instructions
for the Microphone Connection (above),
except start the receiver VOLUME (7) at
1/2 MAX and adjust until the volume level
is optimal.
(Note: 1:1 with a directly connected cord from the
instrument to the amp is with the volume about
3/4 MAX, and MAX volume from the receiver
will be about 4dB higher than 1:1. If the volume
control is set too high, you may overload your
mixer or amp.)
6. AF LED Display
The DKW-8U receiver is equipped with an
AF LED DISPLAY (8). The LED lights whenever
an audio signal is being transmitted from
the transmitter.
(Note: The AF LED Display is not a peak level
indicator so it can light continuously during audio
signal input to the transmitter.)
