What is the difference between RF1 & RF2?

RF1 will have 4 carrier frequencies per channel, while RF2 will have 2 carrier frequencies per channel.  RF2 mode was designed specifically for the use of wireless systems in environments where significant wireless interference is known to exist.  In RF2 mode the frequencies of individual channels is shifted slightly to be on frequencies that are known to have less wifi traffic than the corresponding frequencies in RF1 mode.  The additional number of carrier frequencies is why RF1 mode can be better for use in environments troubled by wifi interferences, but, again, RF2 mode was designed specifically to skirt that interference.  Wireless systems with the channel scan function ONLY scan channels in the RF1 frequency ranges, even if the system is in RF2 mode. 

 

When and Why should I use RF1 vs RF2?

Only use RF2 if experiencing dropouts with RF1 and other troubleshooting (such a line of sight, high power mode, alternative channels, ensuring correct antenna placement, etc.) is not resolving dropout problems. 

 

**IMPORTANT NOTE** Do not mix and match systems in RF1 and RF2 modes!  Keep all systems in a given environment in the same RF mode - that means all systems are either in RF1 mode or RF2.  Do NOT put some systems in RF1 and others in RF2 - this will cause the systems to interfere with eachother.  *******

 

If you are experiencing dropouts with your Line 6 digital wireless audio systems please review this troubleshooting document http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2566

 

Line 6 Wireless Modes RF2 & RF1

 

The new V75, 55 and 35 default to RF2 mode, but include the ability to be switched into RF1 mode.  You cannot use RF2 mode in the presence of any older Line 6 2.4G wireless (including Relay) in the same venue.  If you try you will likely get failures in both the old and new units.  Just say no!  You can check using the RF scan feature included in XD-V75 receivers.

 

You must either flash older models to the newer V2.0 firmware (and you must have access to a V75 receiver and do this via Monkey) or you can shift the newer models (or any that have been flashed with V2.0) into RF 1 mode.

 

If an XD-V75 unit is being added to a setup that already includes any devices running in RF1 mode, the XD-V75 can be used to update the older devices to run RF2 mode by using an internet-connected computer attached to the XD-V75’s USB port. See the Firmware Updating Procedure section for more information. Alternatively, the XD-V75 transmitters can be setup to operate in RF1 mode if it is necessary to use the transmitters with older Line 6 receivers.

 

Note: Relay G30 and G50 Receivers that have been updated to V2.0 firmware will *follow* the RF Mode that the corresponding G30 or G50 Transmitter is set to.

 

To Set The THH12 Or TBP12 Transmitters (Including Relay G50/90):

 

  1. Enter Setup mode to display the current channel
  2. Hold down the SELECT button until CHANNEL appears on the screen and continue holding SELECT.  Then press and release the ON/MUTE button on the THH12 or VALUE button on the TBP12, then release the SELECT button. The display will briefly show [XD-V75 RF1] or [XD-V75 RF2] to indicate whether it is operating in the old or new mode, respectively. This setting is retained when powering off, so as a reminder the display will also show this indication [RF1 or RF2] each time power is turned on. The XD-V75 receiver will display a [To] on the far right of the display to indicate while communicating with a RF1 software transmitter. [Tx] indicates units operating in RF2 mode.  They must ALL be the same.

 

The XD-V35 system ships set to the new dual frequency RF2 mode. To use an XD-V35 version transmitter with an earlier generation XD-V30 receiver (RF1 mode), you must change the transmitter from RF2 mode to RF1 mode. The method differs slightly between the handheld and beltpack.

 

Setting THH06 And TBP06 Transmitters (Including G30):

 

THH06 HandheldTransmitter

  1. Turn the transmitter off.
  2. Press and hold the channel SELECT button.
  3. While holding the SELECT button, press and hold the power ON button.
  4. The blue LED over channel 1 will flash three times to indicate that the transmitter is in the RF1 mode.
  5. To revert to the RF2 mode, repeat the above steps; the blue LED over channel 2 will flash three times when the transmitter is in this mode.

 

TBP06 BeltpackTransmitter

  1. With transmitter off, set the Channel Select slide switch to channel 6.
  2. Turn on the transmitter.
  3. Immediately slide the Channel Select switch completely left to channel 1.
  4. Quickly slide the Channel Select switch completely right to channel 6.
  5. Quickly slide the Channel Select switch completely left to channel 1.
  6. This process must be completed within three seconds of turning on the transmitter.
  7. The blue LED will flash once to indicate that the transmitter is now in the 4-frequency transmission mode. To revert to RF2 transmission mode, repeat the above steps; the blue LED will flash twice when the transmitter is in this mode.

 

Note: It is IMPORTANT to note that once you shift (in either direction) the transmitters will only remember the change if you power cycle the transmitter.  Just turn it off with the power switch and then back on.  If you were to pop a battery before doing this then it will revert back to the last "saved" mode.

Line 6 Wireless RF1 und RF2: Frequenzmodus wechseln

 

Line 6 Wireless Modus RF2 & RF1

 

Die neuen Line 6 Wireless Sender V75, 55 und 35 werden im RF2-Modus ausgeliefert, sie können aber auch in den RF1-Modus umgeschaltet werden. Der RF2-Modus kann nicht benutzt werden, wenn ältere Line 6 2.4G Wireless-Geräte (inklusive Relay) am gleichen Ort verwendet werden, weil das zu Störungen bei beiden Gerätetypen führen kann. Welcher Modus gerade eingeschaltet ist, können Sie herausfinden, indem Sie die eingebaute Frequenzen-Scan-Funktion Ihres XD-V75-Empfängers benutzen.

Um das Problem zu beheben, müssen sie entweder die neuere V2.0-Firmware auf ihre älteren Geräte aufspielen (dazu brauchen Sie Zugang zu einem V75-Empfänger und Monkey), oder sie schalten die neueren Modelle (beziehungsweise jedes Modell, auf dem die V2.0-Firmware läuft) in den RF1-Modus um.

Wenn ein XD-V75-Gerät zu einem Setup hinzugefügt wird, das schon Geräte enthält, die im RF1-Modus laufen, kann das XD-V75 benutzt werden, um die älteren Geräte zu aktualisieren. Dazu brauchen Sie einen Computer mit Internetverbindung, der an den USB-Port des XD-V75 angeschlossen wird. Weitere Informationen dazu finden Sie in der Sektion über Firmware-Aktualisierung. Alternativ können Sie das Setup in den RF-1-Modus umschalten, um die Sender mit älteren Line-6-Empfängern zu verwenden.

Bitte beachten Sie: Relay G30- und G50-Empfänger, die auf die V2.0-Firmware aktualisiert wurden, „folgen“ automatisch derjenigen Frequenz, auf die der dazugehörige G30- oder G50-Empfänger eingestellt wurde.

 

Einstellen des THH12 oder TBP12 Senders (Inklusive Relay G50/90):

 

  1. 1. Gehen Sie in den Setup-Modus, um den aktuellen Kanal anzuzeigen
  2. 2. Halten Sie den SELECT-Knopf gedrückt, drücken Sie dann den ON/MUTE-Knopf (beim THH12) beziehungsweise den VALUE-Knopf (beim TBP12) und lassen Sie ihn wieder los. Das Display wird kurz [XD-V75 RF1] oder [XD-V75 RF2] anzeigen, so können Sie sehen, ob der Transmitter im alten oder neuen Modus läuft. Die Einstellung wird beibehalten, wenn Sie das Gerät ausschalten. Zur Erinnerung zeigt das Display den jeweiligen Modus [RF1 oder RF2] beim Einschalten des Geräts kurz an. Der XD-V75-Receiver zeigt an der äußersten rechten Seite [To] an, wenn das Gerät mit einem RF1-Transmitter kommuniziert. [Tx] bedeutet, dass die Geräte im RF2-Modus arbeiten. Damit die verschiedenen Sender- Empfänger Generationen zusammen störungsfrei arbeiten müssen ALLE Geräte im gleichen Modus arbeiten.

Bedeutet das Vorhandensein eines Senders im  RF1 modus.

Bedeutet das Vorhandensein eines Senders im  RF2 modus.

 

Das XD-V35-System ist bei der Auslieferung auf den neuen Dual-Frequenz-Modus RF2 eingestellt. Um einen XD-V35-Sender mit einem XD-V30-Empfänger der früheren Generation (RF1-Modus) zu verwenden, müssen Sie den Sender von RF2 auf RF1 umschalten. Die Vorgehensweise ist etwas unterschiedlich, je nachdem, ob Sie das Mikrofon- oder das Beltpack-Gerät verwenden.

 

 

 

Einstellen des THH06 und TBP06 Transmitters (Inklusive G30):

 

THH06 Handheld-Transmitter

  1. 1. Schalten Sie den Transmitter aus.
  2. 2. Halten Sie den Kanal-Select-Knopf gedrückt.
  3. 3. Während Sie den Select-Knopf gedrückt halten, drücken Sie den Power/Ein-Knopf und halten Sie diesen ebenfalls gedrückt.
  4. 4. Die blaue LED über Kanal 1 leuchtet dreimal kurz auf, um anzuzeigen, dass der Transmitter jetzt im RF1-Modus ist.
  5. 5. Um in den RF2-Modus zurückzukehren, wiederholen Sie die oben genannten Schritte; die blaue LED über Kanal 2 leuchtet dreimal kurz auf, um anzuzeigen, dass der Transmitter im RF2-Modus ist.

 

TBP06 Beltpack-Transmitter

  1. 1. Bei ausgeschaltetem Transmitter den Schieberegler zur Kanalauswahl auf Kanal 6 stellen.
  2. 2. Transmitter einschalten.
  3. 3. Den Schieberegler sofort nach dem Einschalten auf Kanal 1 stellen, zurück auf 6 und wieder auf Kanal 1 schieben.
  4. 4. Dieser Prozess muss nach Anschalten des Senders innerhalb von drei Sekunden geschehen.
  5. 7. Die blaue LED blinkt einmal, um anzuzeigen, dass der Sender jetzt im 4-Frequenzen-Übertragungsmodus ist. Um in den RF2-Übertragungsmodus zurückzukehren, wiederholen Sie die oben genannten Schritte. Die blaue LED blinkt dann zweimal auf, wenn der Sender im RF2-Modus ist.

 

Wichtig: Bitte beachten Sie, dass das Gerät den soeben eingestellten Modus (egal in welche Richtung) nur beibehält, wenn Sie das Gerät nach dem Wechsel kurz aus- und wieder einschalten. Dadurch wird der aktuell eingestellte Modus gespeichert. Wenn sie vorher eine Batterie eingelegt haben, springt das Gerät zurück zum zuletzt gespeicherten Modus.

Line 6 ワイヤレス・モードRF2とRF1について

新しいXD-V75、V55、V35の初期設定はRF2モードですが、RF1モードへ切り替えることも可能になっています。従来のLine 6 2.4 GHzワイヤレス (Relayを含む) と同じ会場内で、同時にRF2モードを使うことはできません。もし行なった場合は両方のユニットで問題が起こる可能性がありますので、絶対に行わないようにしてください。どのモードが使われているかは、XD-V75のレシーバーに搭載されたRFスキャン機能を使ってチェックすることが可能です。
問題を解決するには、従来のモデルを新しいV2.0ファームウェアに書き換えるか (Monkeyを使って書き換えを行うにはXD-V75レシーバーを使う必要があります)、新しいモデル (あるいはV2.0へアップデートされたモデル) をRF1モードにシフトします。
RF1モードのディバイスを含むセットアップへXD-V75ユニットを追加した場合、そのXD-V75を使って以前のディバイスをアップデートできます。その際はXD-V75のUSBポートへ、インターネット接続したコンピューターを接続して行います。ファームウェア・アップデートの方法は、XD-V75の製品ページのリソースタブに用意されているPDFファイルをご覧ください。なお、XD-V75のトランスミッターを以前のLine 6レシーバーで使用する必要がある場合は、そのトランスミッターをRF1に設定することもできます。
注意: V2.0ファームウェアにアップデートされたRelay G30やG50のレシーバーは、対応するG30やG50のトランスミッターで設定されたRFモードに従います。
THH12、TBP12トランスミッターの設定方法 (Relay G50/90を含む):

  1. Setupモードに入って現在のチャンネルを表示します。
  1. SELECTボタンを押しながら、THH12のON/MUTEボタン、もしくはTBP12のVALUEボタンを一度押して、離します。新旧どちらのモードで動作しているかがディスプレイ上に [XD-V75 RF1] または [XD-V75 RF2] の形で表示されます。同じことを繰り返すと別のモードに切り替わります。この設定は電源オフ時にも維持され、電源投入時に [RF1] または [RF2] と表示されます。XD-V75レシーバーでチャンネル・スキャンを行うと、RF1ソフトウェアのトランスミッターとコミュニケーションしている際にはディスプレイ内のチャンネル番号の上に [To] が表示されます。RF2モードで動作しているユニットの場合は [Tx] が表示されます。複数のユニットを使用している場合は、どちらか一方に全ユニットを統一する必要があります。

XD-V35システムは新しい2周波数 (デュアルフリケンシー) 方式のRF2モードに設定された状態で出荷されています。XD-V35のトランスミッターを前世代のXD-V30レシーバー (RF1モード) で使用する場合には、トランスミッターをRF2モードからRF1モードへ切り替える必要があります。その方法はハンドヘルドとベルトパックで少し異なっています。

THH06、TBP06トランスミッターの設定方法 (G30を含む):
THH06ハンドヘルド・トランスミッター

  1. トランスミッターの電源を切ります。
  2. チャンネルのSELECTボタンを押したままにします。
  3. そのままの状態で、電源のONボタンを押し続けます。
  4. チャンネル1の上にある青いLEDが3回点滅して、トランスミッターがRF1モードになったことを示します。
  5. RF2モードに戻すには、同じプロセスを繰り返します。モードが変わると、チャンネル2の上にある青いLEDが3回点滅します。

TBP06ベルトパック・トランスミッター

  1. トランスミッターがオフの状態で、Channel Selectスライド・スイッチをチャンネル6に設定します。
  2. トランスミッターの電源を入れます。
  3. Channel Selectスイッチを左端のチャンネル1まで素早くスライドします。
  4. Channel Selectスイッチを右端のチャンネル6まで素早くスライドします。
  5. 以上のプロセスを、電源投入後3秒以内に終わらせる必要があります。
  6. 青いLEDが1回点滅して、トランスミッターがRF1 (4周波数伝送モード) であることを示します。RF2伝送モードへ戻すには、同じステップを繰り返します。青いLEDが2回点滅します。

注意:トランスミッターのモードを変更した場合、その変更は電源を入れ直すことで記憶されます。一度電源スイッチを切ってから、再度オンにしてください。この作業を行う前に電池を抜いてしまうと、以前のモードに戻ってしまいます。


StageSource Feedback Suppression Explained Further

RED is for speech. An example is an individual doing a powerpoint presentation.  This could apply to a couple of people speaking at the same time, but the key is that human speech and human speech ONLY, is coming through the system.

 

YELLOW is for vocal singing.  An example would be acapella singing.  This could be a group or a solo singer/performer, but it is meant for human singing voice only, with no other instrumentation.  You may be able to use this for a singer/songwriter solo guitar and vocal. Yellow can work in this case because guitar and voice are in very similar frequency ranges, but, depending on the material, GREEN may be a better option in that case. 

 

GREEN is for PA program material with instruments and singing - multiple instruments or reference PA playback where there is a full band playing.  When there is signal that covers all (more or less) frequencies low to high the GREEN setting should be used. 

 

If you are experiencing a low frequency pop when using Feedback Suppression:

 

The reason why this 'pop' occurs around 250 Hz is because the lower frequencies have longer wavelengths, so there are more frequencies in between individual notes and there is more room for overtones and anomalies.   This is a constraint of physics more than a fault in the FBS system.  If you are experiencing this pop, use a lesser feedback setting - i.e. go from RED to YELLOW or YELLOW to GREEN

 

Green is for good and green is for go.  In the majority of cases, customers should use green and they will be good to go.

 

To switch Feedback suppression modes:

 

Press and hold the FBS button and you will see the colors cycle through, green to yellow to red and back to green.  Release the FBS button when you are on the desired setting.

Q: I am unable to connect my iPad to my StageScape with an Apple Airport Express.  What gives?

A: Be sure to check to that the light on the front of your Airport Express is solid green and NOT blinking amber.  If the light on your Airport Express is blinking amber, you probably have to run the Airport Utility to setup and configure your Airport Express.  On windows you will have to download this Airport Utility program and install it from the apple downloads page, but if you have a Mac computer, the Airport Utillity will already be on your computer in Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility.  Go through the steps to setup your Airport Express in that utility program.  Don't worry if the utility prompts you to create a password for your Airport Express, that will only be applicable for creating a network connected to the internet, and will not apply for connection between your iPad and StageScape.


Q: When I update the firmware on my StageScape M20d, the mixer still thinks it has the old firmware?

A: When updating your firmware on the StageScape M20d, be sure to only have the media drive that has the firmware update on it connected to your StageScape when performing the update.

 

Q: I updated the firmware on my StageScape M20d, and now the StageScape App won't work?

A: The firmware on your StageScape M20d and the StageScape App must be the same version.  So if you updated the firmware on your mixer, be sure to download the updated App from the Apple App store.

 

Q: Can Setups that were backed up on Firmware 1.10 be opened on mixers that have Firmware 1.00?

A: Yes, backed up setups can be restored on older firmware versions of the mixer, however any setups with stereo monitors may cause an error.  In this case, resave the setup without stereo monitors on your firmware version 1.10 and then it will open correctly in older firmware.

 

Q: Is there a maximum length to L6 Link Connections?

A: Yes, all L6 Link connections require AES/EBU cables with a maximum 50 foot length.  Connecting multiple AES/EBU cables together is not recommended.

 

Q: What is the difference between a Scene and a Setup?

A: Scenes are saved as parts of Setups - and if you move to a second setup without saving your current setup, the scenes you made on your first setup will not be saved and you can lose those scenes.  It is helpful to think of scenes and setups as... if you are doing a show with 3 performing acts doing 5 songs each.  Each performing act should have their own setup with a scene created for each song by that performing act. Following that thought process - you will have 3 setups and each of those 3 setups will contain 5 scenes.  The stage icons, pans, effects, and levels are saved in your SCENE- but input channels and channel trims are saved in your SETUP

/account/registergear/Q: What type of footswitch can I use for the footswitch inputs on the StageScape M20d?

A: The StageScape M20d works with any momentary ¼” Tip Sleeve footswitch.

 

Q:Is it possible to control two StageScape M20d's simultaneously (or switch between them) in the iPad app?

A: It will be possible for a single iPad to switch between two StageScapes for control, however it is not possible to control both simultaneously.  The user can select one StageScape to control at a time by selecting from a list of WiFi StageScapes that the iPad can communicate with.

 

Q: How do I make a monitor send?

A: First connect a powered monitor to a monitor output on the M20d.  A monitor will appear on the stage labeled A, B, C, or D, depending on which monitor input you plugged into.  An encoder will turn blue signifying that it controls the level of a monitor.  Use that encoder to adjust the monitor gain up to the white notch on the monitor signal.  Then, go to the monitor page of the M20d.  Once on the monitor page the encoders of all active channels will turn blue.  Adjust the levels of the active channels you want sent to that monitor accordingly.

 

Q: How do I make an effects send?

A:  Effects sends - usually reserved for time based effects (Reverbs, Delays, Chorus, Flange and Vocal Doubler) - are found in Global FX.  Go to the Tweak page, select your channel from the top left, and select Global FX.   Select the Global Effect that you would like to utilize, and select the output you would like to send that effect to from the list on the left.  An encoder will turn purple once you select the global effect you want.  Use this purple encoder to adjust the level of your global effect. 

 

Q: Will global effects apply effects to my entire mix?

A: No, global effects are global because any channel can send signal to global effects individually.  Global effects take the place of your "aux buses" on other mixers - where you would usually have your time based effects such as reverb and delay.  Further explanation can be found in the question above.

 

Q: Why doesn't mute all mute my headphones?

A: Mute all mutes all signals that are sent to mains and monitors, allowing mixer to make adjustments in headphones without signal being sent to outputs.

 

Q: How can I manually add inserts?

A:  At this time inserts are not manually added or managed, because inserts are part of DSP presets available from the tweak page.  Insert presets can be saved and loaded for future use.  Loading insert presets from other instruments will change the icon of that channel on the stage.  For example, if you have a Male Vocal channel and try to load the Bongos preset in the Tweak menu, this will change the stage icon of that channel to Bongos.

 

Q: Where can I mute and solo my channels?

A: Channel mutes and solos are available on the performance mode screen.  To toggle between solo or mute, select the Show Solo Buttons at the top of the performance page. 

 

Q: When using L6 Link why is there not a monitor stage icon on screen?

A: When using L6 Link, you will need to manually create a monitor stage icon.  Monitors are only automatically created on the stage when an XLR is plugged into a Monitor output.

 

Q:  How do I group my channels?

A: In setup mode, double click the encoder of an empty channel to bring up the group assign menu.  From there, select the channels that you would like to be part of the group. You can group all of your global effects returns to 1 group, or any other channels. 

 

Q: Can I change the channel colors to better organize input types?

A: No, channel colors are set and not changeable.  


Q: Do I have to be in perform mode to perform?

A: Perform is the mode where you set your mix and can manage your scenes, so it is better tailored for performance management. Although the outputs will remain fully active in each of the modes.

 

Q: What is the difference between level and trim?

A: Trim is your input gain into the M20d, while level is your channel volume within the mix.  This can also be described on other boards as: Trim is your pre-amp.  Level is your channel fader.

 

Q: How could I connect an external signal processor to the M20d?

A: Use a monitor output to feed the processor, connect the output of the processor to a balanced line input 13-16 or an open input 1-12 if all balanced line inputs are taken.

Q: Does the M20d include a HI-Z instrument input?

A: Each of the 12 available combi inputs can accept either 1/4" instrument cables or XLR cables.

 

Q: What is FBS?

A: FBS stands for FeedBack Suppression and it is the built in feedback suppression on the M20d.

 

Q: Can the quick capture record more than 20 seconds?

A: Yes, but recording for more than 20 seconds requires a USB hard drive (with its own external power supply), SD card, or computer to be connected to the M20d.

 

Q: How do I use WiFi on the M20d?

A: WiFi on the M20d requires a supported USB WiFi stick.  Supported USB WiFi products can be found at this link: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2734

 

Q: How do I delete a track?

A: While in Setup mode, select the stage icon for the track you would like to delete, and tap the red trash can located in the upper right corner  to delete a track.

 

Q: Where can I control pan?

A: In Setup or Perform mode, pan settings can be controlled  by tapping the encoder menu located at the top of the screen. Then select pan from the drop down menu. In Tweak mode, you can adjust pan individually for each channel from the orange encoder.  The pan setting is displayed in the bottom left of the channel Tweak menu.

 

Q: Can I put a limiter on my main outputs?

A: In Tweak mode, tap the channel select on the top left of the screen, select Output Channels, and Main Out.  Then, select Deep Tweak from the top center of the screen. There you will find a HiPass filter, 4 band compressor, 6 band EQ, 4 band limiter, and L6 Link graphic equalizer for your outputs.

 

Q: Is there a graphic equalizer for my mix?

A: A graphic equalizer is available on board the M20d when using L6 link.  It can be found in Tweak mode under Deep Tweak and L6 Link EQ.  Graphic equalizers can be placed on all outputs, but  will only be active when using L6 Link.

 

Q: How do I change the name of a channel?

A: In Setup mode select an input on your stage.  Once a channel is selected, in the top right of the screen, you can tap on the computer keyboard icon to change the name.  Or - still in the top right of the screen - you can tap on the small picture of the input you have selected, and from there change the icon of that input or change the name of that input.

 

Q: Why does my stage icon channel number flash yellow?

A: Because you created stage a icon without a input connected, therefor the yellow indicator is a place holder for the channels designated.

 

Q: Can I reassign an input once I have created the stage icon?

A: Yes, in Setup mode, to do so tap the I/O section at the top center of the screen, then tap the input you would to move, and then double tap the input you would like to assign it to.

 

Q: Can I sync 2 M20d's into a system that will still output to a stereo main mix?

A: No, you can not sync 2 M20d's.  If you have 2 M20d's and require more than 16 inputs, it is recommended to use 1 M20d as a submixer with main outputs going into 2 inputs on the other M20d.  In that case, the M20d being plugged into should be used as your main output to the speakers.

 

** Known Issue: Phantom Power on Inputs 7-12 does not save to scenes or setups.  This has been fixed with firmware update version 1.10. **
