Q: What is the cable tone on my Relay G55 and what does it do?
A: 
The cable tone button simulates the slight change in tone that happens when using cables of varying length.  The cable tone length that the Relay 55 uses is a 25 foot length guitar cable.  At shorter lengths this change in tone is hard to recognize, but as length gets up to 100 feet and beyond, the extreme high end of your tone "rolls off" and loses volume.  A cable length of 25 feet will not affect your audio below  aproximately 15kHz.

 

Q: Can I use my Relay G55 transmitter or receiver with other Line 6 wireless?
A:  Yes, all Line 6 wireless devices are compatible to work with one another.  So, if you have a Line 6 XDV receiver, any transmitter from a Relay system will work with it, and vice versa.  However, it is important to realize that Line 6 wireless systems in RF2 mode will not work with coresponding units in RF1 mode - regardless of the system they are from.  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. So it is important to know if you are using RF1 or RF2 mode.

 

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.

 

Q: How do I switch between RF2 mode and RF1 mode?
A: 
Relay G55 systems can be used in RF1 or RF2 mode.

 

To Set TBP12 Transmitters (Relay G50/55/90):  Enter Setup mode by holding the select button, and you will know you are in setup mode when the current channel is displayed flashing. Continue holding the select button.  Then press the value button.  RF2 will display showing that you are now in RF2 mode.  Press and hold select to exit setup mode.  Repeat this process to switch between RF1 and RF2 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.
