XDR95 Mode and Use for Vocal

Our brand new XDR95 arrived on Friday (in Yellowknife, NT Canada). After about an hour of trying to get it to work we changed it from the factory XDR mode to XDS mode and now it works. As it sounds like XDR mode is the superior choice, and supposed to be the factory setting, why can't we use that mode?

 

Also, we had wanted our sound guy to order a mini-boom wireless microphone (the kind that hangs on the ear with the mic that sits right by the person's cheek). 80% of what we will use it for is spoken word; maybe some singing when we run out of handhelds on special occasions. Due to a miscommunication, he ordered the XDR95.  Is it appropriate to use for vocals? If so, we don't want to have to return it so is there a way to switch out the lapel style for the mini-boom style?

 

Thanks

    XDR is the factory preset and it should work fine as long as both the TX and RX are set the same.  Was your box factory sealed?

     

    No problem using a mic with the XDR95 (as long as you wire it up as shwn in the manual ... or order it as wired for a Sennheiser beltpack))

      Re: XDR95 Mode and Use for Vocal

      I believe the box was factory sealed. We purchased it online from Musicians Friend if that matters.  Based on the LED sequence on the body pack it is set for XDS.    Why would this be changed from the factory setting? Could be some kind of USA/Canada difference? 

       

      It seems to have come with the lavaliere microphone. I don't suppose the body pack input is compatible with any existing microset head word microphone?

        I don't know how it got switched ... but it's an easy fix.  Set it for XDR, you'll get a green light on the receiver.  NOW ... turn the receiver off with the power switch and not by unplugging it from the wall.  Now it will be fixed in XDR position.

          I apologize for not being more clear. The receiver was set for XDR but it didn't work. We set it to XDS and it works. Since I have played with the body pack a bit I am sure it is set for XDS.

           

          However, based on the manual it sounds like XDR is the better choice.  How do we get them talking the same language?

    Hello,

     

    Have you seen this FAQ? It explains how to switch between modes effectively.
