1 x RNG unit

1 x gold mount or v-mount battery adapter (optional)

1 x on-handle shock mount
1 x Audio cable assembly
1 x Power cable assembly
2 x hex keys
1 x tripod screw
1 x 1/4 to 1/8 headphone adapter
 STEP-BY-STEP SETUP GUIDE

STEP 1.) Insert the dummy battery end of the power cable assembly into your camera.

STEP 2.) Using the hex key provided, unbolt the four screws that attach the camera sled to the main
frame. Slide the camera sled forward a few inches to give yourself some room to work or remove
completely and keep nearby.

STEP 3.) Attach the camera (with the battery end of the power cable already inserted from step 1) onto
the camera sled using the supplied tripod screw.

STEP 4.) Plug in the male 4 pin XLR end of the

battery cable assembly into the female power
jack on the front of the RNG.

STEP 5.) Plug in the multipin end of the audio

cable assembly to the right of the power plug on
the front of the RNG.

STEP 6.) Return the camera sled to the main

frame. Extend or collapse to your desired length and using the hex key, re-fasten the bolts.

STEP 7.) Plug in the camera connector ends of the audio cable assembly into the microphone and
headphone outputs of the camera.

STEP 8.) Attach your microphones to the RNG using the audio control panel (see diagrams on page 1).
Use the MIC/LINE switch to select the correct input range and if your microphone needs phantom
power, turn it on. You can use the RF paddle to easily attach wireless receivers.

STEP 9.) Attach a BP-

U60-type battery and/or
external power source to
the back of the RNG.

STEP 10.) Actuate main

power switch. A green
indicator LED will switch
on showing that power is
being supplied to the
RNG. You are now ready
to shoot!
 SETTING UP FOR RECORDING AUDIO DIRECT TO CAMERA

STEP 1.) Connect your camera and microphones to the RNG using the step-by-step setup guide.

STEP 2.) Power on the camera.

Note: Certain Canon DSLR camera models will give you a notification that they cannot communicate
with the battery. This is ok! If the camera display does not respond but the red light on the back of the
camera flashes, disconnect any external monitors then use your camera rotary dial to select ok to
continue.

Step 3.) Now test out your microphone.

Use the volume knobs to adjust the levels
and refer to the peak detector meters to
make sure none of the red lights are
flashing.

Note: If you are not getting a signal,

make sure the RNG is set to the correct
input signal (MIC or LINE) and that
phantom power is turned on for
microphones that require it. You may
have to refer to your microphone's
documentation for this info.

STEP 4.) On your camera, set it up to record audio using an external microphone. If you need help with
this, refer to your camera's user manual. Once it is set up for recording via the microphone input, look at
your camera's audio meter to ensure it is receiving a signal.

Note: If you do not see a signal on the camera, ensure that you have plugged in your audio cables into
the correct jacks on your camera.

STEP 5.) Adjust your camera's audio gain settings, if applicable, to 0dB and compare the audio level
meters on your camera to the RNG's peak detector meters. If the camera audio is too low or too high,
add or subtract gain until the meters match as closely as possible. You should now be set up to record
audio direct to camera.

Note: Please take the time to record some clips, import them to your computer and listen to them to
ensure that it is set up correctly.

Note: It is possible to set up an external device to record backup audio. The RNG has two mic level
outputs, allowing you to plug directly into your recorder's XLR microphone inputs.
 SETTING UP HEADPHONE MONITORING

STEP 1.) Make sure your RNG and camera have been set up for audio recording. Ensure your camera is
compatible with headphone monitoring and that it is enabled.

Note: Some cameras will require the Magic Lantern hack in order to be able to do this. Please refer to
your camera's documentation and http://www.magiclantern.fm/ to enure your camera is supported.
We highly recommend using the firmware hack with the Canon Rebel cameras as well as 60D and 5D
Mk II and III.

STEP 2.) For headset monitoring, make sure your headphones are plugged into the RNG.

STEP 3.) Make sure the headphone source switch is switched to CAMERA. The INCOMING AUDIO setting
will allow you to monitor the audio coming into the RNG whereas the CAMERA setting will allow you to
monitor the audio being returned from your camera.

STEP 4.) For monitoring via the

integrated headphone speaker in
the RNG, make sure the
headphones and any associated
adapters are disconnected. It will
automatically switch sources for
you!

Note: We have supplied a 1/4 headphone adapter. DO NOT LEAVE THE ADAPTER PLUGGED IN
without headphones attached. The RNG is set up to automatically switch from the integrated speaker to
the headset when headphones are plugged in. If you intend to use the integrated speaker and the
adapter is plugged in, you won't be able to hear anything.
 A NOTE ABOUT POWER

The RNG requires a minimum of 14v. Many of the cameras we support use special lower voltage outputs
such as 8.4v to operate, meaning that the camera's battery life indicator will always read as being full.
We recommend closely monitoring battery consumption.

Power inputs

The RNG is natively compatible with a BP-U60 type 14v battery (sold separately) but can also be
powered from an external power source such as a gold mount or v-lock battery through the external
power input. When an external battery is connected, the RNG automatically switches to it for its main
power. When both a BP-U60 and external battery are attached, you can remove one or the other
during active shooting to replace low batteries without interrupting your shot.

Keep an eye on the low battery indicator!

The low battery light, next to the audio meters, indicates five to ten percent remaining on your RNG
power source. When this light illuminates, change your battery immediately.

This light monitors any power source being

used.

If an external battery connected to the four

pin XLR input becomes excessively low, the
hot swapping relay system inside the RNG
will produce a loud chattering sound. This is
alarming but does not damage the system.
Replace the external power source or switch
back to the U-60 type battery by
disconnecting your other power source.
