• Prior to using your DMS 700,make certain thatthe transmitter and receiver aretuned
to the same frequency.
1. Open the battery compartment cover (9).
2. Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment, aligning the battery according to the
polarity symbols.If you insert the battery the wrong way,the transmitter will not be powered.
3. Close the battery compartment cover (9).
The supplied¼-wave antennas canbe mounted quicklyand easily and are suitablefor applications
where a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver antenna is available.
• You should use remote-mounted antennas if the receiver’s position doesn’t allow the best re-
ception.
- Connect the remote antennas to the BNC sockets (14,15) on the receiver rear panel.
- Use RG58 cable to connect the antennas.
- For details on antennas, accessories, and frequency planning support visit our website at
www.akg.com.
• Use the BNC extension cable (AKG part #0110E01890) for mounting the ¼-wave antennas on
the front panel (13).
Signal reflectionsoff metalobjects,walls,ceilings,etc.orthe shadoweffects ofmusicians andother
people may weaken or block the direct transmitted signal.
For best results,place the receiver or remote antennas as follows:
• Place the receiver/antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the
transmitter won’t be used within 10 ft (3 m) of the receiver. Optimum separation is at least 16 ft.
(5 m).Check thatyou cansee thereceiver fromwhere youwill beusing thetransmitter.Shadow
effects caused by people or objects can disrupt the radio link.
• Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (~1.5 m) away from any large metal objects, walls, scaffolding,
ceilings, etc.
• You can use the receiver either free-standing or mounted in a 19" equipment rack.
• If you install one or more receivers into a 19" rack, either mount the supplied antennas on the
receiver front panel(s) or use remote antennas. This is the only way to ensure optimum recep-
tion quality.
You canconnectthe receiver’s twoanalog XLR(17,20) andtwo analog¼”/6.3mmjack (18,21)out-
puts at any time. Use the receiver’sAUDIO Menu to adjust the output level as needed.
• Connect the audio output to the desired input:
a) BALANCED XLR-output - microphone input: set the output level switch to "-30 dB".
b) BALANCED XLR-output - line input:set the output level switch to "0 dB".
c) UNBALANCED 1/4” output - unbalanced 1/4" microphone or line input jack.
• Use theAES-EBU digital balanced XLR (24) output to feed the audio signals of both receivers to
an AES-EBU digital input.
The built-in Wordclock generator supports a sampling rate of 48 kHz. You can connect an ex-
ternal 48 kHz clock generator to theWordclock IN (23) BNC socket to synchronize all your digi-
tal signals.
