This guide will assist with starting up and operating a Sportsound®
SSR-100 Gen III audio rack. For detailed operation, conguration,
and troubleshooting, refer to the Sportsound Rack SSR-100 Gen III
Operation Manual (DD3953255).
Setup
Place the rack on a at, sturdy surface. Remove the front and rear
cover pieces by releasing all latches; set the covers aside.
1. Announcer’s Interface setup is described below. Refer also to the
quick guide (DD3083838) shipped with the device.
a. Connect the 2' (610 mm) XLR cable between the microphone
and the MIC 1 INPUT jack.
b. Connect headphones to the 1/4" or 1/8" jack.
c. Connect the provided 12 VAC wallpack transformer to the
power input jack, and then use the tab above the power jack
as a strain relief for the power cord.
2. Connect the 15' (4.6 m) XLR cable from MIC 1 & AUX 1 on the
announcer’s interface to the MIC 1 & AUX 1 (OUT 2) jacks on the
front of the rack. Also, plug the wallpack transformer into one of
the power outlets on the front of the rack.
3. Connect the 1/8” to 1/8” cable (part # W-3511512) between the
MUSIC input on the Multimedia Mixer and the headphone jack of
a laptop or MP3 player.
4. Connect the 25' (7.6 m) XLR cable between the MAIN OUTPUT
(OUT 1) jack on the front of the rack and the SYSTEM AUDIO
jack on the bottom of the ber box. If there is no ber box, as in
an indoor system, the cable typically connects to a wall plate
junction box.
5. Plug the 3-prong power cord in the rear of the rack into a
standard outlet. Ensure the ber box (if included) also has power.
6. Turn on the power strip, mixer, and optional wireless receiver(s).
7. Switch the SIGNAL to ON.

Follow the above steps in reverse order to power down the system.
Place all accessories in a secure location to avoid damage/theft.
Input Sources
Ensure all source equipment is turned on and operational. If any
optional wireless microphone systems are included, refer to Page 3.
Mixer Operation
For each channel (input source) in use, verify the green LED is
illuminated, and then turn up the knob until the red LED starts to light,
and then turn it down by one half to one full number.
Note: For each MIC input, depress the LOW CUT button as needed
to help increase speech intelligibility.
Adjust the OUT volume level(s) to achieve the nal output. If the red
LED(s) illuminate, decrease the level(s).
Remember: Bad input = bad output. No adjustment on the mixer
can make a poor source sound better. For best results, be sure to use
high-quality audio les from your MP3 player or laptop, and set the
device to near full volume.
Whenever red LEDs are illuminated on the mixer, this is generally a
sign that input settings need adjustment. PROLONGED OVERLOAD
OUTPUT SIGNAL WILL DAMAGE THE AUDIO SYSTEM!
Surge Protector
The power strip features a 15A breaker. If the breaker trips, press
the small button next to the power switch to reset it. The green
POWER ON LED and the red SURGE PROTECTED LED should both be
illuminated when the rack is plugged into a functioning outlet and
powered on.
Ensure any antennas are angled outward at
~45◦. Alternately, coaxial cable from the high
gain antenna kit may be connected into the
jacks off to the sides of the wireless receiver(s).
The antennas should be located within 50'
(15.2 m) of the rack, using desktop stands or
mounted to the ceiling.

Mixer DIP Switch Settings
1. DUCKER ON/OFF
ON (default) = When audio is
sensed above a threshold at
MIC 1 and/or MIC 2 inputs, all
other inputs will be reduced
to the level set by the ducking
level (switch 2). All other inputs
will gradually come back
up to normal output level
automatically. Note that the CV Input will mute all other inputs of
mixer when signal is sensed above a threshold regardless of this
switch setting.
OFF = Signal levels will not be automatically reduced. Exception:
the CV Input will mute all inputs.
2. DUCKING LEVEL
-15 (default) = When ducker is active, MIC 3 & 4, MIC/LINE 1 & 2,
RCA 1 & 2, and MUSIC inputs will be reduced by 15dB.
-70 = When ducker is active, MIC 3 & 4, MIC/LINE 1 & 2, RCA 1 &
2, and MUSIC inputs will be muted
3. LIMIT 1 ON/OFF
ON (default) = OUT 1 level will be limited to threshold (switch 4).
OFF = OUT 1 level is not limited – improper use of mixer with limiter
off may damage sound system!
4. LIMIT 1 THRESHOLD
+4 (default) = Allows OUT 1 to reach full line level output while
protecting against improper use and large signal spikes.
-6 = Reduces OUT 1 output level while providing the greatest
protection against improper use of the sound system.
5. LIMIT 2 ON/OFF
ON (default) = OUT 2 level will be limited to threshold (switch 6).
OFF = OUT 2 level is not limited – improper use of mixer with limiter
off may damage sound system!
6. LIMIT 2 THRESHOLD
+4 (default) = Allows OUT 2 to reach full line level output while
protecting against improper use and large signal spikes.
-6 = Reduces OUT 2 output level while providing the greatest
protection against improper use of the sound system.
7. ALARM NC/NO
N/O (default) = Use with Normally Open re alarm contacts –
mixer output will MUTE when contacts are closed.
N/C = use with Normally Closed re alarm contacts – mixer output
will MUTE when contacts are opened.
8. PHANTOM POWER:
ON = Supplies 48VDC to MIC 1–4 inputs to power condenser
microphones.
OFF (default) = Select when using dynamic microphones.

f) RF Signal Strength
g) Transmitted Audio Level
h) Gain Level
Single Receiver
1. Ensure all transmitters are powered off. Press the power button to
turn on the receiver if it is not already on.
2. Press menu until “scan” displays on the LCD.
3. Press enter to start frequency scan. When scan is complete,
Group and Channel will display on the LCD.
Network Receivers
1. Ensure all transmitters are powered off. Turn on all receivers and
wait one minute to allow time to connect to the network.
2. Press menu on one receiver until group number ashes.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select a group to scan.
4. Press enter, wait for channel, and then press enter again.
5. Press menu until “network scan” displays on the LCD.
6. Press enter twice to deploy channels to other receivers.
Note: Perform a scan on all of the wireless units just minutes before
the game! If a scan is performed too far ahead of time,
frequencies set up by the media later on may interfere with
previously congured settings.
1. Open the battery cover. Insert new or fully-charged AA batteries
prior to each use, and always have spares on hand.
2. Power on the transmitter device.
3. Hold the transmitter device up close to one receiver in the rack,
ensuring the infrared (IR) windows are aligned.
4. Press sync on the receiver; “good” will display if sync succeeded.
5. Repeat steps 1–4 to pair another transmitter device with an
additional receiver (if present).
Note: Plug the referee mute switch into the jack on top of the
bodypack unit and plug headphones/lapel mic into the
referee mute switch.
Verify Reception: With a transmitter and the receiver both turned
on and having matching GROUP and CHANNEL numbers, the RF
meter on the receiver should be indicating signal. Speak into the
microphone and the Audio meter should indicate signal presence.
