serviceable parts inside.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain
or moisture.
• To prevent fire, do not place any naked flame sources (such as
lighted candles) on the apparatus.
• To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the apparatus with
newspaper, tablecloths, curtains etc.
• Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
• Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the
apparatus.
• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a bookcase
or similar unit.
• The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet
so that you can easily grasp the AC adapter at any time. In case of
emergency, disconnect the AC adapter quickly.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
• Always consider environmental issues and follow your local
regulations when disposing of batteries. Do not expose batteries
to excessive heat.
The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely
adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with federal
regulations. Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter.
To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.
Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers
or AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal
functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have
low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) which are unlikely
to cause difficulty, especially if they are at least a few inches away.
However, since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against
the body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt
pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical device.
Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF
transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or
medical-device provider if you have any questions, or experience any
problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.
RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio
services. According to Federal Communications Commission
regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected
from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any
interference is received by any Government or non Government
operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation...” If you
need assistance with operation or frequency selection, please contact
your dealer or Audio-Technica. Extensive wireless information also is
available at www.audio-technica.com.
Thank you for choosing an Audio-Technica professional wireless
system. You have joined thousands of other satisfied customers who
have chosen our products because of their quality, performance and
reliability. This Audio-Technica wireless microphone system is the
successful result of years of design and manufacturing experience.
Each 2000 Series wireless system provides a choice of 10 PLL
synthesized UHF frequencies in one of five UHF frequency ranges,
available for flexible performance in a wide variety of regions
worldwide:
Frequency Range
Band D 656.125 – 678.500 MHz
Band E 800.550 – 813.150 MHz
Band F 854.900 – 864.900 MHz
Band G 722.125 – 744.500 MHz
Band I 487.125 – 506.500 MHz
Band U 606.500 – 629.900 MHz
The band letter reference at the end of 2000 Series Stock Numbers
indicates what band system/component operates in. For simplicity,
model numbers used throughout this manual will reference only the
basic model number without the band indications.
Each wireless system includes a receiver and either a body-pack or
handheld transmitter. UniPak
® body-pack transmitter systems include
accessory microphones for particular applications. All A-T Wireless
Essentials
® microphones and cables, available separately, are pre-
terminated for use with any Audio-Technica 2000 Series wireless
system.
The ATW-R2100a receiver features true diversity reception. Two
antennas feed two completely independent RF sections on the same
frequency; automatic logic circuitry continuously compares and
selects the superior received signal, providing better sound quality and
reducing the possibility of interference and dropouts. The receiver also
offers a switchable output attenuator to reduce the level of the output
signal by 12 dB for flexible use with a variety of system configurations.
Switchable antenna power is also provided. Soft-touch controls provide
convenient access to selection of operating frequency and automatic
scanning, while an LCD information display provides constant
monitoring of system operation. The receiver is half-width for a standard
1U 19" rack mount; rack-mount adapters are included. Two receivers can
be mounted side by side, using an optional AT8630 joining-plate kit.
The versatile ATW-T210a UniPak ® body-pack transmitter has both
low- and high-impedance inputs plus a bias connection, for use
with dynamic and electret condenser microphones, as well as Hi-Z
instrument pickups. The UniPak
® transmitter also offers separate trim
controls for instrument and microphone, plus switchable high/low RF
power.
The ATW-T220a handheld dynamic microphone/transmitter features
the same element used in the PRO 41 dynamic handheld microphone
created for professional live-sound venues. It also offers switchable
high/low RF power. Both the ATW-T210a UniPak
® and ATW-T220a
handheld transmitters also offer charging contacts so the units can be
placed in an optional recharging station for multi-transmitter charging.
For economical operation and wide availability, transmitters in the
2000 Series use two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable two AA
NiMH batteries for use with Audio-Technica’s ATW-CHG2 Recharging
Station. Both transmitters have battery condition indicators. 2000 Series
receivers feature a sophisticated Tone Lock™ tone squelch system that
opens the receiver’s audio output only when a 2000 Series transmitter
