trim-pot counterclockwise reduces overall
system audio output (thus lowering
distortion but raising background noise),
while turning clockwise increases overall
system audio output (thus lowering
background noise but raising distortion). The
Audio Level Adjust is factory set to the mid
position, which is the optimal setting for
normal operation.
Note: The Audio Level Adjust is not intended for
high-input signal adjustment—the 15dB pad is
provided for that purpose. It is for use only in
extreme cases during which satisfactory audio
cannot be achieved with the pad alone.
Note: Set control carefully. If trim-pot is turned past
minimum or maximum adjustment points, it may
need to be backed up to achieve desired setting.
Programming the MT-16A/R
to the Selected Channel
Before beginning operation, the MT-16A/R
transmitter must be synchronized with
the selected frequency from the receiver
using the IR Receptor/Sensor Window (21) on
the transmitter and the IR Sync Window (1)
on the receiver (see Selecting the MGT-16
Receiver Channel and IR Sync on page 8).
After first turning the transmitter on (or
off and then on again if already on), begin
programming by holding the transmitter’s
IR Receptor/Sensor Window about 6-12”
from the receiver’s IR Synch Window. Press
the IR Sync Button (14) once to begin the IR
sync download of the selected frequency
to the transmitter. Upon successful data
transfer (usually in less than two seconds)
the transmitter will transmit a radio signal
on the same channel (frequency) as
the receiver. The Signal LED (10) on the
receiver will light up, indicating that the
link is completed. If all the necessary steps
noted above are not taken during the ten
seconds of active data transfer, the receiver
and the transmitter units will not link and
the transmitter’s previously programmed
channel remains unchanged.
When programming is finished, close the
battery compartment door, ensuring that it
latches. The MT-16A/R is now ready for use.
Note: Manually matching the transmitter frequency
without the receiver is not possible. For proper
operation, the transmitter must have the same
channel as selected on the receiver.
Operating the MT-16A/R
Instrument Transmitter
During normal operation with the unit
powered On, the MT-16A/R transmitter
should be fully inserted onto the instrument
(guitar, bass, etc.). When ready to play,
slide the Power Switch (2) to On position
in the direction of the arrow. The receiver
Signal LED (10) should light up if system is
properly synchronized. Adjust the volume
on the receiver (see Connecting Audio
Output on page 9) for unity gain (one-to-
one) with a hard-wired cord. Or, select up
to an added 4-5dB boost by adjusting the
receiver volume to maximum for normal use
with guitars and bass guitars. A listening
test prior to use will determine which
receiver volume and transmitter input pad
settings are best for your application. To
Mute/un-Mute (attenuate) the audio during
use, set the receiver power switch to the
second (Mute) position. Or, just turn off the
transmitter with the Transmitter Power Switch
(17). The Signal LED will turn off and the
audio will be muted (Off). When ready to
play again, slide the receiver’s power switch
to the third (On) position. Or, just turn on
the transmitter.
Note: While playing, the audio level should be
adjusted on the instrument as when using a
hard-wired cord.
