USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSEPERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.90 dB SPL at 8 hours95 dB SPL at 4 hours100 dB SPL at 2 hours105 dB SPL at 1 hour110 dB SPL at 1/2 hour115 dB SPL at 15 minutes120 dB SPL — avoid or hearing damage may occur
It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on the PSM, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the fit of quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:
Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis? If you experience a wax buildup in your ears, stop using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.
Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.

THE P2T TRANSMIXER
Controls and Features
1. MIC/LINE INPUT Jacks: Electronically balanced inputs that accommodate both XLR and 1/4-inch connectors at mic or line levels.2. Signal/Clip LEDs: Color indicates the signal status of the corresponding MIC/LINE input, as explained in the Audio Inputs and Outputs section below.3. INPUT Knobs: Control the level of their corresponding inputs.4. CHANNEL LED Indicator: Displays the frequency channel that is being transmitted (1-8).5. SELECT Button: Press to select a frequency channel.6. Antenna: Permanently mounted, break–resistant antenna transmits the mix to the P2R Receiver.7. Power Cord Strain Relief: Thread the power cable through these slots to secure the DC connection.8. DC IN: Plug the power supply into this connector. The unit remains powered on until you unplug it.9. SPLIT OUTs: Each male XLR output jack duplicates the signal of the corresponding mic/line input. Front panel settings have no effect on split output levels.
Audio Inputs and OutputsThe INPUT knobs control both MIC and LINE level signals. As a general guideline, set the knob to the left of twelve o’clock for line-level signals, and to the right of twelve o’clock for microphone levels.Observe the signal/clip LEDs. If they are consistently red, decrease the level with the corresponding INPUT knob.NOTE: If the level is decreased all the way and the LED remains red, the level of the input from the previous device in the audio chain (mixer, click track, digital sequencer, etc.) is too high and should be decreased.To pass the audio signal directly through the TransMixer, use the corresponding SPLIT OUT on the rear panel of the device. Input settings do not affect the level of the signal at the SPLIT OUT connectors.* The P2T inputs have limiting circuitry that activates automatically when the input level is too high.
Phantom PowerAlthough the TransMixer itself does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUT connectors pass phantom power from a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack. You can connect equipment that supplies phantom power to the TransMixer without harming the unit.CAUTION: Use a “direct box” when connecting guitars, keyboards, and other instruments to a mixing console through the P2T. The phantom power that mixing consoles provide for microphones can damage other instruments. Connect the instrument to the direct box then connect the direct box to the TransMixer input.
Selecting a Frequency Channel1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to flash.2. When the LED indicator is flashing, press the SELECT button to scroll to the desired frequency channel.3. Release the button.

Scanner ModeWhen you are using the P2R as a wireless receiver, Shure recommends that during set–up you first scan for a frequency channel that is free from interference:
Unplug the P2T TransMixer and turn off the P2R.
Hold down the P2R SELECT button while turning its volume knob past the click (ON).
Insert the earphones into your ears and slowly increase the P2R volume until you hear noise. The CHANNEL LED will blink to confirm the unit is in Scanner Mode.WARNING: Increase the volume slowly, as the noise may be loud.
Scroll through the eight available frequencies to locate a clear channel. A channel is clear if you hear uninterrupted whitenoise from the P2R. Avoid channels that have no sound. This indicates interference on that frequency channel, which makes it unsuitable for use.
To exit scanner mode, simply turn off the P2R. When you turn the unit back on it will be set to the channel that you last selected.
Set the P2T to the same channel as the P2R.
MIX IN Jack
When you are using the P2R Receiver as a stand-alone personal monitor, the 1/4-inch MIX IN jack serves as the primary audio input. In addition, the MIX IN jack allows the P2R to function as a hybrid wired and wireless receiver. When you are using the P2R in its wireless mode, you can add a second audio source via the MIX IN jack, such as.• Click Tracks• Pre-Amp Outputs from Guitar or Bass• Effects Processors• Condenser Microphones
Next to the jack is a two-position GAIN switch that gives you a choice between LO and HI gain settings for the input. For specific information on how the MIX IN jack functions, refer to the wiring diagram on page 14.LIM LEDThe P2R Receiver has a non–defeatable (constantly active) limiter that automatically activates if the receiver output level exceeds a certain volume, which is calibrated specifically for the Shure earphones. The LIM LED on the top of the unit lights up when the limiter is on. If the LIM LED blinks occasionally, turn down the volume of the receiver.* If the LED is on and you haven’t reached a high enough listening level, try re-inserting the earphones for a better seal, or adjust the mix that is being sent to the receiver to include only the most essential inputs.*** When the LED is on, the volume will not increase.
**The limiter is designed to work best with the Shure earphones. Using the P2R with other Shure earphones or earphones made by other manufacturers, can result in higher limited volume levels.
