Airsync Wireless XLR Transmitter & Receiver Manual (Gen 2)

Quick Start Guide

1. Before powering on, set the transmitter to Mic or Line mode.
β€’ Use Mic for microphones. Use Line for sending audio from a mixer to speakers.

2. Voltage/phantom power: for dynamic/ribbon mics use Normal. For condenser mics use 48V. Do not use 48V with ribbon microphones.

3. Connect: plug the transmitter to the mic/line source and the receiver to your mixer or powered speaker. To avoid clipping, connect devices before powering on.

4. Power on/off: press and hold the power button for 2 seconds on each unit.

5. Frequency: double-click the transmitter’s power button to change frequency; the receiver follows automatically. (Factory paired.)

6. Charge: use the included USB-C cables for both units.

7. Mute: to mute the transmitter, press the transmitter’s power button 3 times quickly. You’ll see the muted mic icon on the screen.
To unmute, press the power button 3 times again to return to normal operation.

Locking/Unlocking Frequencies

Overview

When AirSync devices are unlocked, receivers automatically sync to the first available transmitter they detect. Use the lock function to create dedicated transmitter-receiver pairs and prevent interference when operating multiple units simultaneously.

Prerequisites: Turn off all other AirSync devices before starting.

  1. Prepare Transmitter:
    β€’ Press and hold the power button on your chosen transmitter
    β€’ Wait for the frequency display to go blank and start flashing
    β€’ Press the power button once to enter Lock mode
  2. Lock Receiver(s):
    β€’ Press and hold the power button on each receiver you want to pair
    β€’ Hold until the screen displays "LOCK"
    β€’ Repeat for additional receivers as needed
  3. Complete Lock:
    β€’ Press the power button on the transmitter once to return to active status
    β€’ Units are now locked together and isolated from other AirSync devices.
    β€’ They cannot be synced to other transmitters until unlocked.

Unlock Process

  1. Prepare Transmitter:
    β€’ Press and hold the power button on the locked transmitter
    β€’ Wait for the frequency display to go blank and start flashing
    β€’ Press the power button twice to enter Unlock mode
  2. Unlock Receiver(s):
    β€’ Press and hold the power button on each locked receiver
    β€’ Hold until the screen displays "UNLOCK"
    β€’ Repeat for all previously locked receivers
  3. Complete Unlock:
    β€’ Press the power button on the transmitter once to return to active status

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mute the transmitter? How do I mute/unmute? β€Ί
Yes. To mute the transmitter, press the power button 3 times quickly. The display will show a muted microphone icon.

To unmute and restore audio, press the power button 3 times again.
How do I set Mic vs Line mode? (What’s the difference?) β€Ί

Mic mode is for microphones. It expects a very low-level signal and applies the correct gain so your mic sounds clean and undistorted.

  • Use Mic mode when: plugging the transmitter directly into a handheld, headset, lavalier, or any XLR microphone.
  • Symptoms of wrong mode: If you accidentally use Line mode with a mic, your signal may be weak, noisy, or thin.

Line mode is for gear that already outputs a strong line-level signal, like a mixer or audio interface, and for sending that signal wirelessly to a powered speaker or mixer input.

  • Use Line mode when: transmitting audio from a mixer/console/interface to speakers or to another device expecting line level.
  • Symptoms of wrong mode: If you use Mic mode with a line source, you may get distortion or clipping.

Tip: Set the mode before powering on. If something sounds off (quiet/noisy or distorted), double-check you’re in the correct mode.

I'm hearing pop sounds through my PA system. Is this normal? β€Ί
This can happen when the selected frequency is crowded in your area. Try different frequencies (and leave each one on for a few minutes) to find the most stable. Local conditions and other wireless devices can affect results.
What's the frequency range of AirSync? β€Ί
AirSync operates on 657.000–663.000 MHz.
I'm getting hiss, hum, or noise. How do I fix this? β€Ί
Check the basics:
β€’ Mic/Line Mode: use Mic for microphones; Line for mixers/line sources.
β€’ Voltage: Normal for dynamic/ribbon mics; 48V for condenser mics.
β€’ Frequency: try a different frequency if your environment is noisy.
My audio sounds distorted or low-quality. β€Ί
Ensure the correct Mic vs Line mode and voltage setting are selected. Using Mic mode on a line source can clip, and using Line on a mic can sound thin/noisy. For condensers, enable 48V; do not use 48V with ribbon mics.
Will multiple AirSync units fit side by side on my mixer? β€Ί
Yes. The slim body and aligned XLR connector let units sit shoulder-to-shoulder on most mixers with adjacent XLR inputs, saving space on crowded boards. If your mixer has unusually tight spacing or recessed jacks, a right-angle XLR adapter can help with clearance while preserving access to neighboring channels.
Can it be used while charging? β€Ί
Yes. You can operate the system while charging via USB-C. Use a quality 5V USB power source, avoid noisy adapters, and keep the units dry during operation.
My units won't pair or stay connected. β€Ί
Make sure both are on the same frequency. Double-click the transmitter’s power button to change frequency β€” the receiver should follow automatically. If using multiple sets, lock each pair so every receiver stays with its own transmitter.
How do I reset my AirSync? β€Ί
Power off both units, wait a few seconds, then power them back on. Set your preferred frequency again.
