FAQ’s
?
The output from Mic 1 is very low but the other two mics are fine.
! Check the position of the Mic/Line switch near Mic 1. This first input can
be switched to accept a line level signal from a mixer or other equip-
ment.
? I'm trying to use my RemoteMix 3 with a PBX system but it doesn't
seem to work. I've plugged the handset cord into the handset line
in jack but nothing happens. What's wrong?
!
The "Handset (line in)" jack is for connecting a handset to the Re-
moteMix 3. The correct jack to plug the handset cord into is on the other
side of the unit labeled "handset cord". Just plug one end of the handset
cord into this jack and the other end into the existing telephone and dial
your call. Switch between the three different handset types on the ABC
selector switch if you're still having trouble sending audio down the
phone line.
? I've lost my power supply for my RemoteMix 3 unit. I have another
power supply that fits from a different product. Can I use this in-
stead?
! NO! Never use a power supply other than the one that was supplied by
your manufacturer. Power supplies are available in either AC or DC out-
put with many combinations of voltage and available current. DC sup-
plies carry either positive or negative center pin output and may or may
not be "regulated". If you connect a negative center pin power supply to
a positive center pin jack, it's just like hooking up the battery cables to
your car backwards. Obviously you would not want to do this to your car
or your expensive audio equipment. "Regulation" is the tolerance to the
specified voltage of your DC power supply. All of our DC power supplies
have a low noise 5% tolerance. This means that our 9V DC power sup-
plies will always output 9 volts +/- 5%, whether you are using no power
at all or applying a full load. Most consumer power supplies are not
regulated. A non-regulated 9V, 800mA power supply could actually out-
put 16V until an 800 mA load is applied. This could invariably damage
your equipment, and also create a great deal of noise. There is also no
standard for the size of your power jack. This means that a 16VAC
power supply and a 1.5VDC power supply could both have the same
2.1mm jack.

Can I wire a stereo mini output to the XLR input of a RemoteMix 3?
!
Yes, simply wire the tip to pin 2, the sleeve to pin 1, and leave the ring
and pin 3 floating. You should use the mic 1 input since it is mic/line
switchable, and use mic 2 for an additional microphone.
