Description
The 1800 Series single-channel, frequency-agile true diversity UHF
wireless receiver provides a new standard for audio and RF performance
with user-friendly features and awless operation for camera-mount and
special remote applications. The receiver provides the audio quality, range
and reliability necessary for the most demanding requirements of today’s
video and audio systems with two independent receivers in one small
housing.
The compact ATW-R1810 receiver incorporates automatic frequency
scanning which eliminates the need for searching for clear channels and
automatically selects the most appropriate frequency for operation.
The exibility in programming both receivers and transmitters allows the
user to customize this wireless system to the needs of virtually every
application. True Diversity reception with automatic logic circuitry within
each receiver selects the strongest RF signal. The top-mount antennas
are removable allowing for different types of antennas and antenna
accessories to be used. The receiver incorporates an easy to read LCD
display with back lighting for easy function monitoring. An advanced
digital Tone Lock
™
squelch system provides enhanced rejection
of interference on the receiver. Multi-function LED indicators are provided
for diversity, power and peak signal indication. The receiver’s compact
design and included pouch with stainless steel clip allow for easy
attachment to cameras, sound mixer bags or the user’s belt. The
receiver is designed to operate on four standard AA alkaline batteries
(providing over 10 hours of continuous battery operation) or on external
12V DC. Balanced output allows receiver output to match cameras and
eld sound mixers. Full headphone condence monitoring with level
control enables the operator to monitor the receiver’s audio. All audio
output connections are standard mini-XLRM type connections with TA3F
to XLRM-type adapter cables included with the system.
Additionally, the frequency conguration used in 1800 Series components
allows them to be interchangeable with the Audio-Technica 3000 Series
components.
Architect’s and Engineer’s Specications
The frequency-agile FM channel wireless receiver shall be part of a wireless
microphone system consisting of a receiver and the appropriate transmitter.
Operating in the UHF bands of either 541.500–566.375 MHz or 655.500–
680.375 MHz the system shall be capable of operating on any of 996 PLL-
synthesized frequencies per band (adjustable in 25 kHz steps).
The all-metal receiver shall be designed for camera-mount or portable opera-
tion. The receiver shall utilize True Diversity reception with automatic logic
circuitry to choose the strongest RF signal appearing at either antenna and
shall provide an automatic scanning function to select appropriate local
usable frequencies for proper wireless system operation. All conguration
functions of the receiver shall be controlled by soft-touch controls on the
receiver top. The receiver shall incorporate a soft-touch power switch and
shall have LED operator indicators on the top panel for diversity operation
(A-B) and a power/peak indicator. A backlit LCD display shall be provided on
the receiver for showing receiver battery status and selected frequency. The
system will be equipped with an advanced Tone Lock
™
digital identication
system. The receiver’s design shall provide totally silent audio output mute
when the wireless transmitter is turned off or signal is lost to ensure that
only the desired wireless microphone transmitter allows the receiver to be
un-muted. The receiver shall incorporate a built-in audio monitoring section.
Separate level controls shall be provided for audio monitoring and main out-
put. A headphone connector shall be provided on the bottom of the receiver.
The receiver shall be able to be powered by 4 alkaline AA batteries or 12 volts
DC at 500 mA. Antennas shall be located on the top of the receiver and shall
incorporate standard BNC-type connectors to allow them to be detached
from the receiver to facilitate the receiver being used with external antennas
or antenna distribution devices.
The receiver as supplied shall include a soft pouch with stainless steel clip for
attaching it to a camera, sound mixer bag or the operator’s belt. The receiver
shall have a metal case with removable battery door and be nished in low-
reectance black. All controls and indicators shall be clearly labeled as to their
function and operation.
The wireless receiver shall be an Audio-Technica ATW-R1810 (C/D).
