Thank you for purchasing AZDEN’S “PERFORMANCE SERIES” wireless system. This manual covers the

311DRH, 311DR, 221R, 211R and 200R receivers and the 32BT (Lavaliere), 31XT (Plug-in XLR), 31HT

(Handheld), 31LT (Lavaliere) and 31IT (Instrument) transmitters.

Receiver Descriptions

The 311DRH True Diversity VHF Half-Rack Receiver:

The 311DRH contains two separate receivers, each operating on the same frequency. The incoming signal is

constantly monitored by a diversity circuit, which switches automatically to the receiver with the stronger RF

signal. This allows wireless performance that is virtually drop-out free, even under the most adverse condi-

tions. The receiver features 1/4-inch as well as XLR output jacks with volume and squelch adjustment.

(1) Power LED and On/Off switch.

After plugging in the 311DRH depress the On/Off switch to turn unit on and illuminate the Power LED. See

#5 for more details.

(2) Antenna A-B LEDs.

When the transmitter is turned on and is in reception range of the receiver, either the A or B LED will light up

GREEN, depending on which receiver circuit is getting the strongest signal from the transmitter. Flickering

from the A to B LED is a normal function of the system.

(3) Radio Frequency level and Audio level LEDs.

The 311DRH has two 5-segment LED displays to show the strength of both the incoming FM carrier and the

audio signal level. The receiver will perform best if the RF level is kept between the fourth and fifth LED.

Dips to the third LED may happen occasionally and are tolerable. The audio level LEDs will show the incom-

ing audio signal from –26dB to +5dB. The fifth LED is red and will come on if the audio component of the

incoming signal is approaching distortion.

(1)

(4) Antenna connections.

On the 311DRH the antennas are connector mounted (BNC) so that the supplied antennas can be disconnected

and/or remoted using coax cable if needed.

(5) 12-Volt Input.

Plug the supplied AC adaptor into the 12-volt input on the receiver and then into a 110-120 VAC electrical

outlet. Use only the adaptor supplied (BC-26U) as other adaptors may damage the receiver.

(6) Output Adjustment.

Rotate this knob clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease volume level.

(7) Output (unbalanced).

Using a suitable audio cable (not supplied), connect the 1/4-inch phone jack end to the audio output on the

receiver and connect the other end of the cable to the suitable mic/line input of an audio mixer or amplifier.

(8) Output (balanced).

Using a suitable audio cable (not supplied) connect the XLR connector to the audio output on the receiver, and

connect the other end of the cable to the suitable mic/line input of an audio mixer or amplifier.

(9) Rack ears.

If you wish to use the 311DRH in a standard 19" rack by itself you can use the HR-1 rack kit and attach the

rack ears using the four supplied machine screws (two per side near front) as shown. If you wish to use the

311DRH in a standard 19" rack with another 311DRH or a 411DRH you can use the HR-2 rack kit and attach

the rack ears using the four supplied machine screws (on the outer sides of each unit) as shown. Also attach

the joining plate (supplied) underneath the two units by screwing in the supplied machine screws We also

suggest that you remove the “feet” from the bottom of the receivers for the proper clearance required in a

standard rack. (see diagram.)

(10) Squelch adjust.

This adjusts the point at which the receiver will shut off or “squelch” the incoming RF signal when it be-

comes too weak. Turning the control counter-clockwise raises the threshold, allowing more signal to enter

while turning the control clockwise lowers the threshold, letting in less signal.

(11) Frequency label

Indicates what frequency (in MHz ) the receiver operates on. The AZDEN transmitter in use must also be on

the same frequency.

The 311DR True Diversity VHF Receiver:

The 311DR contains two separate receivers, each operating on the same frequency. The incoming signal is

constantly monitored by a diversity circuit, which switches automatically to the receiver with the stronger RF

signal. This allows wireless performance that is virtually drop-out free, even under the most adverse condi-

tions. The receiver features a 1/4-inch as well as an XLR output jack and volume adjustment.

(1) Power LED

When the receiver is plugged in, the Power LED will turn RED. See #4 for more details.

(2) Antenna A-B LEDs

When the transmitter is turned on and is in reception range of the receiver, either the A or B LED will light up

GREEN, depending on which receiver circuit is getting the strongest signal from the transmitter. Flickering

from the A to B LED is a normal operation of the system.

(3) Antennas

Extend the antennas fully vertical for best reception. When not in use, lower the antennas and put them in their

holder to avoid damage.

(4) 12 Volt Input

Plug the supplied AC adaptor into the 12-volt input on the receiver first, then into a 110-120 VAC electrical

outlet. Use only the adaptor supplied (BC-26U) as other adaptors may damage the receiver.

(5) Output Adjustment

Rotate this knob clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease volume level.

(6) Output (unbalanced)

Using a suitable audio cable (not supplied), connect the 1/4-inch phone jack end to the audio output on the

receiver, and connect the other end of the cable to the mic/line input of an audio mixer or amplifier.

(3)

(7) Frequency label

Indicates what frequency (in MHz) the receiver operates on. The AZDEN transmitter in use must also be on

the same frequency.

(8) Output (balanced)

Using a suitable audio cable (not supplied) connect the XLR connector to the audio output on the receiver, and

connect the other end of the cable to the suitable mic/line input of an audio mixer or amplifier.

221R Two-channel VHF receiver:

use of two transmitters. The receiver features two 1/4-inch output jacks and two volume adjustments - one for

each channel.

(1) Power/Receiving LED

When the receiver is plugged in, both the A and B Power/Receiving LEDs will turn RED. When one or both

of the transmitters is turned on and are within reception range of the receiver the A and/or B Power/Receiving

LEDs will turn from RED to GREEN indicating that the transmitter(s) signal is being received.
