(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.  
(2)  
 
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.

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.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM  
Do not place the receiver on a metal surface, and avoid obstructions between the receiver and transmitter,  
since this could degrade the performance of the equipment.  
First, make sure that the power to all your components is turned off. Connect an audio cable from the output of  
(11)  
 
the receiver to a mic/line input on your audio mixer or amplifier. Plug the receiver’s AC adaptor into the 12V  
input jack on the receiver, and then plug it into the 110-120 VAC electrical outlet. With the volume of your  
mixer or amplifier set to minimum level, turn your system’s power on. Turn on the transmitter(s). Make sure  
all LEDs on the receiver and transmitter(s) are operating as described in the preceding pages. Now set the  
receiver’s volume to the midway point and adjust the volume level on your mixer or amplifier.  
32BT, 31LT & 31XT: With someone talking into the microphone, turn the volume on the mixer or amplifier  
to the desired level. If there is too much, or not enough gain, lower or raise the volume on the receiver. If the  
sound is distorted, lower the input gain on the transmitter.  
31HT: With someone talking or singing into the microphone, turn the volume control on the mixer or ampli-  
fier to the desired level. If there is too much, or too little gain, adjust the volume on the receiver. If the sound  
is distorted, move the microphone further away from the sound source.  
31IT: Plug the cable into a guitar or bass. Set the instrument volume to the midway point. While playing the  
instrument, adjust the volume on the mixer or amplifier to the desired level. If there is too much, or too little  
gain, adjust the volume on the receiver. If the sound is distorted lover the input gain on the 31IT. With the  
system now operating, move around the performing area to make sure no problems, such as feedback or RF  
signal loss occur.  
NOTES:  
- Do not use or store the system in areas of high temperature or humidity.  
- Do not use the system near a broadcast station, airport, or airplanes, as it may cause interference. If you are  
interfering with other transmissions, you must turn the system off.  
- These systems contain no user-serviceable parts. If any unauthorized service is performed, it may void the  
warranty.  
FCC NOTES:  
AZDEN 32BT, 31HT, LT, IT, and XT, conform to Parts 74 & 90 of the FCC rules. The receivers conform to  
part 15 of the FCC rules. You should contact the FCC office near you for the proper filing forms.
