WARNING!
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE
PERMANENT 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 fol-
lowing 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 hours
95 dB SPL at 4 hours
100 dB SPL at 2 hours
105 dB SPL at 1 hour
110 dB SPL at 1/2 hour
115 dB SPL at 15 minutes
120 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:
1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop
using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.
4. 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.

is too high and should be decreased.
To pass 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 Power
Although the TransMixer itself does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUT connectors pass phantom pow-
er from a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack. You can connect equipment that supplies phan-
tom 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 Channel

1. 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. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2T will automatically switch to the
specified channel.
IMPORTANT:
Never set more than ONE TransMixer to the same frequency channel, or interference will occur.

Battery Installation*
1. Unlock the battery compartment door by pressing down
on the side of the battery compartment door marked
“OPEN” and sliding it in the direction of the arrow.
2. Flip open the door and insert a fresh 9V alkaline battery,
observing proper polarity.
3. Flip the battery compartment door closed, then press
and slide the compartment door until it snaps shut.
Note: If the battery compartment door will not close
completely, the battery is not correctly inserted.
* Since the average life of a battery varies depending on the manufacturer, Shure recommends that you
use a fresh 9V battery for performances longer than two hours. You can then reserve used batteries for
rehearsals or other less critical applications.

Cable Management Groove

1. Connect an audio source to the 1/4-inch MIX IN jack on the side of the P2R.
2. Attach the P2R to your belt, waist band, or another location.
3. Slide the audio cable or earphone cord up into the groove, as illustrated.

Wireless Mode
When you are using the P2R as a wireless receiver, or as a combination wired and wireless receiver, use the SELECT button on
the side of the P2R Receiver to set the frequency channel (1-8).
To Select a Frequency Channel:
1. 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. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2R
will automatically switch to the specified channel.
NOTE: Set the P2R to the same channel as the P2T TransMixer.

Wired Mode
When you are using the P2R Receiver as a stand-alone wired monitor, you can set the unit
to wired mode. This deactivates the RF circuitry and extends the battery life.
To Set the P2R to Wired Mode:
1. 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 past channel 8 until the letter “A” appears in
the display.
3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2R will automatically switch to wired mode.
NOTE: Setting the P2R receiver to wired mode disables its wireless capability.

Scanner Mode
When 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:
1. Unplug the P2T TransMixer and turn off the P2R.
2. Hold down the P2R SELECT button while turning its volume knob past the click (ON).
3. 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.

4. Scroll through the eight available frequencies to locate a clear channel. A channel is clear if you hear uninterrupted white
noise from the P2R. Avoid channels that have no sound. This indicates interference on that frequency channel, which
makes it unsuitable for use.
5. 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.
6. Set the P2T to the same channel as the P2R.

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
Effects Processors

Pre-Amp Outputs from Guitar or Bass
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 LED
The 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 E2 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 E2 earphones.
Using the P2R with Shure E1 or E5, or earphones made by other
manufacturers, can result in higher limited volume levels.

APPLICATION THREE: Two PSM200 Wireless Systems Used Simultaneously*

The following configuration uses two PSM200 systems simultaneously, and utilizes the SPLIT OUT feature of the TransMixer. In this exam-
ple, the musicians keep the TransMixers on stage with them, in order to control their personal mixes independent of the house engineer.
1. Connect the vocal mic to INPUT 1 of the Vocal Mix TransMixer and connect SPLIT OUT 1 (the vocals) to the
Mixing Console.
2. Connect the total band mix from the Mixing Console to INPUT 2 of the Vocal Mix TransMixer.
NOTE: In this example, the band mix includes vocals. This allows the guitar mix to include vocals,
and allows the vocalist to independently control more of the vocal level in his/her personal mix.
3. Set the Vocal Mix P2T and P2R Receiver to the same frequency channel.
4. Connect SPLIT OUT 2 of the Vocal Mix TransMixer (the band mix) to INPUT 1 of the Guitar Mix TransMixer.
5. Connect the guitar amp simulator to INPUT 2 of the Guitar Mix P2T TransMixer.
6. Connect the SPLIT OUT 2 of the Guitar Mix TransMixer (the guitar amp simulator) to the Mixing Console.
7. Set the Guitar Mix P2T TransMixer and P2R Receiver to a frequency channel that’s different from the channel you
set for the Vocal Mix system in step 3.
* Up to four systems can be used at the same time.
