LT-800 Audio Control

1 Adjust Audio Input Level


Adjust the input knob counterclockwise to add gain to Input 1. This will decrease gain
to Input 2. Adjust input knob clockwise to add gain to Input 2. This will decrease gain
to Input 1. If you have two audio sources connected to both Input 1 and 2, adjust the
level of one input using the VU meter, then adjust the output level of the other audio
source. Adjust the input level until the left VU meter(s) occasionally illuminate the red
LEDs. Illumination of the red LEDs indicates the unit is in limiting. Limiting is required so
that the unit does not over-modulate the transmitter. If you don’t want any audio
limiting to occur, make sure the red LEDs never illuminate. If you want a highly limited
signal, turn the audio gain up so the red LEDs illuminate often.

2 Adjust Mix Level


Adjust the mix level until the right VU meter occasionally illuminates the red LED. This is the
level adjustment for the combined output from Input 1 and Input 2.

3 Adjust Contour
Adjust the Contour knob counterclockwise if your audio source is mostly voice. Adjust
the knob clockwise if your audio source is mostly music. The Contour knob adjusts the
relative equalization of the unit. This equalization boosts or cuts frequencies above 5 kHz.

Process Mode
Process mode is used for Audio Gain Control (AGC). With the process
mode enabled, the LT-800 will automatically adjust for inconsistent
signal input levels by raising or lowering the signal level accordingly to
provide a consistent sound output level. This feature should be used in
applications where a consistent sound level is important and the input
levels vary substantially. Typically you would not want to engage the
Process Mode when a speaker’s emphasis is critical to the message
they are conveying.

12
RF Reception Maximization Strategies

For proper and dependable operation, Listen receivers need to receive a strong and consistent
signal from the originating transmitter. Note that on portable receivers the headset wire is the
receiving antenna. The following strategies should be used maximize to this signal:
1 When designing and installing your system, keep in mind that the location of both the
transmitting and receiving antennas is critical to maximize broadcast range.
2 Eliminate or minimize obstructions between the transmitting and receiving antenna.
3 Minimize the distance between the transmitting and receiving antennas.
4 Move transmitting and receiving antennas away from metal or conductive objects.
5 Place the transmitting antenna as high as possible.
6 Orient both transmitting and receiving antennas vertically.
7 Position the RF Power switch on the back of the LT-800 to full RF Power, unless lower power is
acceptable (see page 8).
8 Keep coaxial cable from transmitter to antenna as short as possible.

CAUTION: When installing antennas, ensure the antenna is clear of power lines.

Coaxial cable, connectors, and optional antenna mounting kits are available from Listen. See
page 19-20, visit www.listentech.com or ask your dealer for details.

Coaxial Cable
The antenna for the LT-800 can be mounted directly on the unit if desired. However, you may
find that the unit will provide better performance when the antenna is located elsewhere. If you
plan to mount the antenna in a different location other than the top of the unit, you must use
cable and connectors rated at 50 ohms. Although cable used for cable TV installations looks
similar to this cable, it will not work with your Listen system.

If you need to run cable over a length greater than 75 feet for 150 MHz applications or to maxi-
mize broadcast range, Listen recommends that you use RG-8 cable rather than RG-58. RG-8 is a
lower loss cable, meaning that more of your signal will reach the antenna.

Long cable runs can result in signal degradation due to the “loss” characteristics of the cable.
When using RG-58 with a 150 MHz transmitter, there is an average* loss of 6 dB per 100 feet of
cable (A 3 dB loss means half of your power has been lost.) However, it is better to suffer coaxial
power loss than to try to shoot your signal through obstacles! Obstacles, especially metal, can
create drop-outs or reflections of your signal that will result in poor listening conditions.

*NOTE: T here are many varieties of 50 ohm, RG-58 and RG-8 cables. You may purchase a
cable that is better or worse than this value. Please check with the cable vendor or
manufacturer for exact specifications.

13
Channel Selection

It is important to choose channels that are free from interference to


achieve proper operation of your Listen equipment. This process is trial Wide Band Recommendation
and error. Before turning on the transmitter, listen to the wide band Listen recommends that you always
channels on the receivers (channels 1-6). Listen to the audio through use a wide band channel unless you

existing narrowband transmission system, always use a wide band manufacturers. Wide band channels

band counterparts.
If you are using multiple channels follow this process: 150 MHz

receiver. Using the frequency chart on page 15, eliminate any
• 7 - 32 = Narrow Band Channels
channels that have noticeable interference. Now choose the
channels with the widest channel spacing. It is
recommended that adjacent channels be spaced at least 300kHz.
2. Distributed Spacing: If you are using transmitters that are spread out
over space, you can achieve more simultaneous broadcast
channels. However, it is critical that your receiver(s) be located as
close to its transmitter as possible. You can use adjacent
channels (see frequency chart on page 15) in this case as long as
the adjacent channel transmitter is at least 50% further away from
the receiver as its transmitter.
It is highly recommended that after channel selection has been
achieved, you lock the channel so that it cannot be changed by the
user. To accomplish LOCK on the LT-800, press the “UP” button for 3
seconds. Repeat the process to unlock.

LT-800 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
The LT-800 has no power
Make sure the LA-207 power supply is connected to a power source and is connected to the
jack marked “Power Input”. Make sure the POWER button is pressed in.

There is no audio or the audio level is too low


Make sure that your audio source is properly connected to Input 1 and/or Input 2. The Input 1
or Input 2 switches must be in the correct position for the appropriate input level. For example:
if you are using the output of a mixer on Input 2, the switch should be in the -10 dBu position.
If it were to be in the +10 dBu position, the level would be too low. Also, check the Input knob
to ensure it is properly adjusted. You should be able to see the VU meter deflect on Input 1
or Input 2 corresponding with the input level of the audio source. You can listen to the audio
source by connecting a headset to the front panel jack and adjusting the Monitor
volume control.

If the level of audio into the transmitter is low and can’t be corrected using the level input
switches, the audio processor can be turned on to boost the signal (see page 8 to set, page 12
for description of Process Mode).

The audio is distorted


Check to make sure you have the input level select switches in the proper position. You may
be providing too much audio level for the input stage to handle. Make sure the SQ mode is set
correctly on both the LT-800 and the receivers you are using. If your receivers do not have SQ,
make sure the SQ mode is turned off (see page 8).

There is hum in the audio


Make sure you have properly grounded the audio source to the LT-800. Check the connections
from the audio source to the LT-800. If you can, try to use a balanced audio source - this will
reduce the chance of creating hum. Connect a ground wire from the LT-800 to ground and/or
to the ground of the source audio.

There is a tone
The Test Tone button has been pressed (its LED light is on). Push the Test Tone button to turn off
the tone.

The Audio Input 1 sounds “tinny”


If you are using an unbalanced audio source, make sure Pin 3 on the XLR or the ring on the
¼” plug is grounded (see page 9).

I cannot pick up the signal on the receiver


Check to make sure that they are on the same channel. Make sure the LT-800 has
an antenna connected. Ensure that the receiver has an antenna (for portable products the
headset is the receiving antenna).

I can pick up the signal on the receiver, but it sounds like it’s not tuned in
Check to make sure the transmitter and receiver are on exactly the same channel. It’s a good
idea to lock the channels once they have been set. To lock the LT-800, press the UP button for
3 seconds (see page 10).

16
LT-800 Troubleshooting (cont.)

Troubleshooting

There is not sufficient range


First make sure that the receivers you are using are operating properly, then make sure that
you have an antenna connected either to the top of the LT-800 transmitter or connected to
the back of the unit (but not both!). The antenna should be as high as possible and free of
obstacles. In addition make sure you are using the correct antenna type for your unit. You
might want to use a remote antenna (provided by Listen) that can be mounted on a mast
or wall. Try using different frequencies to find one with less interference.

There is interference in my transmission


Ensure that the transmitter and receivers are on the same channel. Verify that there are no
other transmitters on the same channel or a close channel to the one exhibiting interference.
Try different channels until you find a clear channel.

End users are adjusting the unit


First, lock the channel by pressing and holding the channel select UP button for 3 seconds.
Consider removing the Input, Mix Level and Contour knobs. You can order a rack mount kit
from Listen which offers a security cover that will limit access to the unit.

Several transmitters are operating in the same environment


For this, you’ll need to choose your transmitting frequencies carefully. See page 13-15 for
more details.

Can I have two antennas connected to my transmitter


No. The LT-800 transmitter can use only one antenna connection at a time. You may connect
either a top mount antenna through the top antenna port, or a remote antenna connected to
the BNC connection on the rear of the unit. If multiple antennae are simultaneously connected
to both ports the transmitter will have extremely poor broadcast performance and range.
