Talk over the project with the customer. Find out when you will have access to t he bu ilding. Before y ou start be sure you have a complete understanding with the customer: Where the transmitter will go Where the transmitter could go if the first choice will no t work Where the studio is to go Other places the studio could go.
Generally the deeper your rod, the lower the resistivity will be. Bury any horizo ntal wires, the more g round/dirt contact the better. Just an i nch or two below the surface will do. You can use a flat bla de shovel to create a “trench” that t he wire can be laid into.

Connections for balanced au dio in. These con- nections should be the same for other a udio pro - cessors. From the a udio source, if the connector is an XLR connector you would use pins 2&3 .
Unbalanced au dio is a sig nal with a g round reference, us ually a center wire with a outer ground, like a RCA jack, or coax cable. The center is the si gnal (hot) wh ile the outer is the (ground) reference and shield. Here is the 222 wire diagram showing the i nput in the unbalanced method.
Wire diagram for the transm itter system. There are two term inal blocks, either can be used. Not shown is the cable shield drain connection, connect it to the GND terminal on the terminal block in the transmitter. Be careful not to connect the power or audi o to the (S+) or (S-) terminals, these are used for anot her functi on (RS48 5 sync).
5. T uning and setting Power Be sure power is ON (LED should be lit) Turn Audio Gain all the way down (counter clockw ise) Be sure to turn it back up when you are done . There are 3 test hole pads o n the unit (see dia- gram). Take a standard voltmeter that is set to DC 5-20 volts and plug it into the botto m and top test hole pads.

6. T rying to get good Range 14.
The transmitter should sound as loud as others on the dial, if it doesn’t there is a problem. It may be an audio impedance m ismat ch, or the level may need to be tu rned up . If the audi o level i sn’t high enough you won’t get good range, audio is a gate on the power, keep your au dio turned up as high as you can .
7. Better radio reception One of the toughest places t o get radio reception is i nside an office building. C onstruction m aterials like bricks and metal, and noise from computers a nd other elect ronics can al l combine to make radio reception almost im possible for you.
