Required Parts And Tools

  • Williams Talkback System IR T1
  • Williams RX224 Receiver
  • Shure MX393 Boundary Mic
  • RDL STM-1 Preamp
  • F-XLR Tail
  • 22/2 audio cable
  • B-connectors
  • Fish Tape or Glow Rods
  • Electrical Tape
  • Wire Stripper

Installation Instructions

Mounting the Audio

  1. Decide where the STM-1 will be located, knowing the MX393 mic will need to reach it.
  2. Determine a suitable place to mount the RDL EZ-MCP1, ideally beneath the work station
  3. Using a stud finder, determine the best location to route the 22/2 cable
  4. Cut a hole into the drywall, large enough to fit a mud ring into it securely.

  5. Using glow rods or fish tape, pass the 22/2 behind the wall routing to the STM-1
    Note: The wires of the XLR will wire to the +, -, and ground Input on the STM-1.
  6. Secure a pass through plate to the mud ring mounted for the XLR just ran
  7. Using anchors and screws, mount the compressor
  8. Place the MX393. Plug the mic into the F-XLR tail into input of the compressor. Plug the line to the STM-1 into the output of the compressor.

  9. Mount the STM-1 above the ceiling
  10. Wire the red to the + and black to the ground power terminals on the STM-1.
  11. Cut a length of 22/2 from the STM-1 to the camera. Strip the jacket on both ends. Cut away the bare wire and plastic surround the cable inside. Strip away a small piece of the red and black jackets revealing the bare copper wire.
  12. A short piece of 22/2 cable will also be needed (approx. 1 inch).
  13. Strip the jacket from the cable and remove all contents keeping only the red cable.
  14. On both ends of the red cable, strip off a piece of the jacket. Connect one end of the 1 inch audio cable to the +PWR terminal and connect the other end into the +PHNTM terminal.
  15. Run another length of 22/2 cable from the STM-1 to the audio connectors on the back of the speaker.
