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 12V/0.2A 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 POW-
ER 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 posi-
tion 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 transmit-
ter 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 (5) extinguishes, the transmitter is out of range for that given lo-
cation, 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.
9
on the volume levels expected. In either application, experiment and set for
maximum possible gain without audible distortion on the high level peaks.
(Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise and
it is not recommended.)
9. 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 continu-
ously during audio signal input to the transmitter.)
