Guided Tour - SR5 / ST5
5: Power on-off switch* - Use this to turn the ST5 on or off (to conserve battery power,
be sure to leave it off when not in use).
6: Attenuation switch - The ST5 transmitter features a signal Attenuation switch that is
used to select the input level of “0dB” or “-15dB”. This Attenuation switch has been factory
preset to “0dB” providing the optimum level for most microphone and instrument input sig-
nals. If you are using a microphone or instrument with a high output signal, first try to
adjust the Gain control as described in the following section. If you cannot attenuate the
signal low enough using the Gain control, use the supplied plastic screwdriver (see #9
below) to turn the rotary Attenuation switch to the counter-clockwise position setting the
ST5 to “-15dB” level.
7: Gain control (trimpot) - This input gain control has been factory preset to a nominal
level so we recommend that this be adjusted only if your signal is too high, or too low. If
necessary, however, you can use the supplied plastic screwdriver (see #9 below) to raise
or lower the ST5 Gain control. See the “Setting Up and Using Your Stage 55 Series /
Stage 5 Series System” section on page 12 in this manual for more information.
8: Battery holder - Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery here, being sure to observe
the plus and minus polarity markings shown. We recommend the Duracell MN 1604 type
battery. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate
current for more than four hours. WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards; doing
so can cause severe damage to the ST5 and will void your warranty.
9: Plastic screwdriver - Specially designed for use in adjusting the ST5 Gain control (see
#7 above) and/or receiver Squelch control (see #4 on pages 5 and 7). See the “Setting Up
and Using Your Stage 55 Series / Stage 5 Series System” section on page 12 in this manu-
al for more information.
* Be sure to mute the audio signal at your external mixer or amplifier before turning
transmitter power on or off, or an audible pop may result.
