When the RF Signal LED (10) on the receiver
lights up, the system frequency is properly
synchronized. To change to a different
frequency, reset the Frequency Select DIP
Switches (4) and sync the transmitter again
to the new selected frequency first, after
turning the transmitter off and then on
again. If no action is taken during the 10
seconds of active data transfer ( i.e., the
transmitter is not turned on or properly
positioned) the receiver and the transmitter
units do not link and transmitter’s previously
programmed channel remains unchanged.
Note: Only one transmitter can be used with one
receiver. It is not possible to use two transmitters
on the same frequency and mix the output of
these transmitters into one wireless receiver.
Note: The IR link is infrared light and works best
when this data transfer is accomplished in a
light-shielded or darker environment. It may not
be successful in a brightly lit area. If the transfer
fails, repeat the procedure in a darker location
or somehow shield the link from outside light to
successfully program the transmitter with the
selected channel info from the receiver.
Connecting Audio Output
The MGT-16 receiver’s Audio Output Jack
(7) is a ¼” unbalanced line out and its level
is controlled by the Volume Knob (3). Plug
an audio cable with a ¼” mono (tip/sleeve)
plug into the audio output jack and plug the
other end into your pedal board or amplifier
as you would with a direct cord from the
instrument. When the Volume knob is
set to maximum receiver volume setting,
the system audio output is approximately
+4dB higher than a direct instrument-to-
cord-to-amp connection.
Note: As when making any connection, make sure
the amplifier volume control is set at the minimum
level before plugging in the receiver to avoid
possible speaker damage.
Your MGT-16 receiver is now operational
and ready to use. Once you have completed
the above steps, proceed to the following
instructions for the MT-16A/R Instrument
transmitter.
MT-16A/R Instrument Transmitter
Powering the Transmitter
The MT-16A/R Instrument transmitter
requires one AAA size battery (25). To install
the battery,
push the locking tabs on the
Battery Cover (25)
and push out to expose
the Battery Compartment (22). Insert one
fresh AAA battery according to the correct
polarity as indicated on the transmitter
body. Close the battery cover, ensuring the
cover is snapped shut. A fresh AAA alkaline
battery generally provides up to 6-8 hours
of operation, but in order to ensure optimal
performance it is recommended that the
battery be replaced after six hours of use or
as indicated by the Low Battery Indicator (20).
To turn on the transmitter, slide the
Power Switch (17) in the direction of the
arrow. The Low Battery Indicator will
flash once. The unit is now on and the
receiver’s RF Signal LED (10) will light up
if the transmitter has been frequency
synchronized to the receiver’s selected
frequency as per below.
As the batteries weaken, the Low Battery
Indicator will flash to warn that the battery
level is too low and should be replaced as
soon as possible. To preserve battery life,
turn the transmitter Off when not in use.
To turn the transmitter Off, slide the Power
Switch in the opposite direction of the arrow.
The transmitter has a 15dB Pad (18) On/Off
switch which can be selected to attenuate
high output instrument pick-up levels if
needed to reduce distortion through the
system. To turn On, slide the switch in the
direction of the arrow. Turning opposite the
arrow indication is for standard 1:1 gain
operation and is recommended for normal,
optimal low-noise operation.
The transmitter has an Internal Audio
Level Adjust (23) to set the audio deviation
level. It is accessed by inserting a small
screwdriver into the slot. Turning this
