Bigfoot® Sound System Owners Manual

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How does the AIR wireless connection work?

A: Simple! The 8000X series (Bigfoot & Beacon) includes a built-in transmitter -

as designated by the X. An 8000R series (Bigfoot & Beacon) includes a built-in

receiver - as designated by the R. The transmitter and receivers operate on the

902 – 928 MHz frequency, with 100 user-selectable channels. When set to the

same channel, the receivers pick up the audio signal from the transmitter.

Q: Can I use multiple AIR receiver speakers in one set up?

A: Yes, absolutely. Any 8000X series can transmit to an unlimited number of AIR

receiver speakers. All units should be set to the same frequency to receive signal.

When setting up your arrangement, be sure to point the systems facing the same

direction – pointing the systems directly at one another may cause distortion. AIR

units can be placed 150 feet (or more in ideal conditions) from the transmitting

main unit.

Q: I am experiencing interference on all channels. Can I connect with a cable

instead of the wireless connection?

A: Yes! All Bigfoot and Beacon AIR units are main units, with either a transmitter

or receiver(s) built-in. Main units can be daisy-chained to one another by using

the line out to line in jack. The units must have charged batteries, and will not

work if batteries are dead.

Q: What is the range of the AIR wireless connection?

A: Each AIR receiver unit can be placed up to 150 feet from the main unit

transmitter. In ideal conditions, you can place the systems further, however,

be aware of physical latency and/or interference. If you are using multiple AIR

systems, be sure to center the main unit between all AIR companions.

Useful Information

1. AIR Companion Speaker can be placed 150+ ft. from main unit.

2. Main unit must have built-in AIR Companion Transmitter (LIB-8000X series).

3. Main unit can support unlimited number of AIR Companion Speakers.

4. Although AIR has volume control, main unit volume will raise or lower AIR volume.

5. Transmitter may create audible white noise.

6. When using 2+ transmitters, larger channel spacing should reduce interference.

7. Do not place 2+ transmitters close to one another while set to the same channel.

8. Certain high powered cell towers can cause background noise on the sound sys-

tem. We recommend locating the sound system at least 50 feet from the tower or

adjusting locations to minimize the noise.

Q: I am experiencing interference with my AIR wireless connection, what can I do?

A: Oh no! You have a few options. First, try to change the channel. There are 100

channels to choose from, so be sure to try various frequencies to find a clear

channel. You should also double check that your speakers are close enough

together to have a strong signal. Be sure all your batteries are fully charged.

Additionally, verify your inputs all have a clear signal (such as a wireless

microphone, cables, and Bluetooth). Lastly, you can try adjusting the external

antennas for a better connection. These fixes may not work for everyone, as

there are occasional signals which cannot be avoided (for example being close

to a high-power cell tower). If none of these fixes work, please call us. We are

happy to help!

Q: Since the Anchor Audio Assistive Listening Devices are also on 902 – 928 MHz,

can they work together to create a simple and reliable ADA compliant sound

system?

A: Actually, yes! All 8000X series units will transmit to the AIR companion

speakers as well as the ALB-9000 Assistive Listening beltpack(s). Since all

systems are shipped out by default on the 902.000 channel, simply power on

your transmitter and receivers (beltpacks and AIR wireless companion), and

you instantly have an ADA compliant sound system. Did you know that ADA

requirements mandate compliant assistive listening systems for any theater using

audio amplification or with a capacity of at least 50 audience members? Try this

set up for the easiest solution.
