The 4900 receiver module is designed to output line level. However, we
(Trew Audio) did receive a 4900 that was internally set to mic level
on one output of each receiver (there are two outputs for each
receiver in the event they are used as stereo receivers). Reseting the
internal switches to line level solved the noise issue. Anyway, if you
are having to send the outputs into a mic level input, there's your
problem. If so, a call to Zaxcom will inform you how to pop the top
and set the internal switches to line level.
