What happens if a low level format is performed with a computer?
The memory card may become unusable with the DBSM/DBSMD recorder.
What should I choose with a Mac when formatting the SD card?
Choose MS-DOS (FAT).
What does the formatting of the SD card do?
The formatting of the SD card sets up contiguous sectors for maximum efficiency in the recording process. The file format utilizes the BEXT (Broadcast Extension) wave format which has sufficient data space in the header for the file information and the time code imprint.
What can corrupt the SD card, as formatted by the DBSM/DBSMD recorder?
The SD card, as formatted by the DBSM/DBSMD recorder, can be corrupted by any attempt to directly edit, change, format or view the files on a computer.
What is the simplest way to prevent data corruption?
Copy the .wav files from the card to a computer or other Windows or OS formatted media FIRST.
What should I not do with the SD card?
Do not rename files directly on the SD card. Do not attempt to edit the files directly on the SD card. Do not save ANYTHING to the SD card with a computer (such as the take log, note files etc) – it is formatted for DBSM recorder use only. Do not open the files on the SD card with any third party program such as Wave Agent or Audacity and permit a save.
What should I not do in Wave Agent?
Do not IMPORT – you can OPEN and play it but do not save or Import – Wave Agent will corrupt the file.
What should I do with the files?
Copy the files to a computer, thumb drive, hard drive, etc. that has been formatted as a regular OS device FIRST – then you can edit freely.
What do recordings contain?
Recordings contain industry standard iXML chunks in the file headers, with the most commonly used fields filled in.

What should I do if I am switching to a new brand or source of card?
Always suggest testing first before using the card on a critical application.
How do I access the Top Menu?
From the Default screen, pressing MENU/SEL will access the Top Menu. The Top Menu allows the user to access the various sub-menus to control the unit.
How can I adjust the input gain?
The two bicolor Modulation LEDs on the control panel provide a visual indication of the audio signal level entering the transmitter. The LEDs will glow either red or green to indicate modulation levels as shown in the table on page 8.
What do the different LED colors indicate about the signal level?
Less than -20 dB: Off, Off -20 dB to -10 dB: Green, Off -10 dB to +0 dB: Green, Green +0 dB to +10 dB: Red, Green Greater than +10 dB: Red, Red
When is full modulation achieved?
Full modulation is achieved at 0 dB, when the “-20” LED first turns red. The limiter can cleanly handle peaks up to 30 dB above this point.
What mode should the transmitter be in when adjusting the input gain?
It is best to go through the following procedure with the transmitter in the standby mode so that no audio will enter the sound system or recorder during adjustment.
What is the procedure for adjusting gain?
- With fresh batteries in the transmitter, power the unit on in the standby mode.
- Navigate to the Gain setup screen.
- Prepare the signal source. Position a microphone the way it will be used in actual operation and have the user speak or sing at the loudest level that will occur during use, or set the output level of the instrument or audio device to the maximum level that will be used.
- Use the and arrow buttons to adjust the gain until the –10 dB glows green and the –20 dB LED starts to flicker red during the loudest peaks in the audio.
- Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can be sent through the sound system for overall level adjustments, monitor settings, etc.
- If the audio output level of the receiver is too high or low, use only the controls on the receiver to make adjustments. Always leave the transmitter gain adjustment set according to these instructions, and do not change it to adjust the audio output level of the receiver.
How do I select the Low Frequency Roll-off?
The point at which the roll-off takes place can be set to: LF 20-20 Hz, LF 35-35 Hz, LF 50-50 Hz, LF 70-70 Hz, LF 100-100 Hz, LF 120-120 Hz, LF 150-150 Hz. The roll-off is often adjusted by ear while monitoring the audio. It is possible that the low frequency (LF) roll-off point could affect the gain setting, so it’s generally good practice to make this adjustment before adjusting the input gain.
How do I select audio polarity?
Audio polarity can be inverted at the transmitter so the audio can be mixed with other microphones without comb filtering. The polarity can also be inverted at the receiver outputs.
How do I select LineIn/Instrument Audio input?
Audio input can be selected as either LineIn or Instrument Level.
How do I select the Transmit Menu from the TopMenu?

How do I select the Compatibility Mode?
Use the and arrow buttons to select the desired mode, then press the BACK button twice to return to the Main Window.
What are the compatibility modes?
Standard Mono Digital (D2) and High Density Mode (HDM).
What is HDM Mode (High Density Transmission)?
This special transmitting mode and associated low RF power of 2mW allows the user to “stack” many units into a very small area of the spectrum. Standard, ETSI-compliant RF carriers take up about 200 kHz of occupied bandwidth, while HDM takes up about half of that, or 100 kHz, and allows for much tighter channel spacing.
How do I access the SD Card Menu?
