2.1
Installation of receiver mod-
ules
At delivery, the receiver modules
are packed separately from the
19" rack unit and have to be
user-installed first. For detailed in-
structions, refer to the installation
manual supplied with the receiver
modules.
2.2

Placement of receiver unit

When the VR 6 is operated in an
electromagnetically polluted envi-
ronment, the receiving quality
might occasionally suffer. To assu-
re best performance, always ope-
rate the VR 6 away from digital
devices that create parasitic stray
fields, like effect units,keyboards
or CD players. We recommend to
operate the VR 6 or the antennas at
least 2 m away from such devices.
2.3

Installation of antennas

The two supplied telescope anten-
nas must be connected to the
threaded antenna sockets (16) on
the back side of the rack unit and
always be pulled out to their enti-
re length.
A stronger receiving signal can
be obtained by using the supplied
antenna extension cables to place
the two antennas in greatest pos-
sible distance from each other.
For easy separate antenna instal-
lation, two adaptor nuts are in-
cluded that fit all standard-sized
microphone stands.
Do not place the antennas near
digital devices or metal surfaces,
both could have a negative influ-
ence on the receiving quality. To
fully benefit from the VR 6's diver-
sity capabilities, always use both
supplied antennas.

2.4
Connection to mixing con-
soles / guitar amps
Each receiver module has bal-
anced XLR and 1/4" phone jack
outputs (20, 21) for individual
connection to a mixing console or
guitar amplifier. For unbalanced
operation, a standard instrument
cable with monaural phone plug
can be used for the phone jack
output (21). This automatically
also switches the XLR output (20)
to unbalanced operation.
The level control (14) allows to
adjust the output level of each in-
dividual receiver module.
2.5
Connection to power ampli-
fiers
The d.a.i.sy VR 6 system provides
various integrated mixer functions
which allow to operate the unit di-
rectly with a power amplifier. For
connection to a power amplifier,
use the balanced 'Master Out'
XLR or phone jack outputs (17,
18) on the back side of the mas-
ter module. Make sure that the
'PFL to Master' button (25) is not
activated (control LED (26) not lit).
Only signals from channels with
activated 'To Master' switch (22)
appear at the master output. This
switch is located next to the corre-
sponding channel output jacks on
the back side of the module. Use
the level controls (14) to determi-
ne the proportion of each channel
signal in the master mix. When
the 'To Master' switch is activa-
ted, the channel signal is still pre-
sent at the individual channel out-
put and is also affected by the
level control (14).
A flashing master 'Clip' LED (31)
indicates that the signals from the
channels overload the input of the
master module. In this case, grad-
owner's manual d.a.i.sy VR 6
ually reduce the channel output
levels (14) until the master 'Clip'
LED remains dark.
Use the 'Master Level' control
(30) for adjusting the overall out-
put level to match the external
power amplifier's input sensitivity.
For sound corrections, the VR 6
also provides a Master EQ sec-
tion with separate Treble (29) and
Bass (28) controls.
