USING THE 1201XT TRANSMITTER’S CONTROLS AND DISPLAY

A. Power

The POWER ON/OFF switch [r] Turns the 1201XT ON or OFF.

B. Audio

Prior to turning the 1201XT ON it is best to set the AUDIO switch [q] To OFF. When ready to begin transmitting, switch to ON. The OFF position acts as a “mute” maintaining the RF signal but turning off the audio.

C. MIC Connector/Locking Ring

This 3-pin XLR connector [l] Is the microphone input. Any low impedance microphone with a corresponding connector can be attached here. If the microp hone requires external power (Phantom Power) the 1201XT can supply 48VDC. The XLR connector is wired with pin #1 as ground, pin # 2 as audio + (and +48VDC when Phantom Power is ON) and pin #3 as audio -.

Once the microphone is plugged into the 1201XT the locking ring [m] should be rotated clockwise until snug. To remove the microphone, first rotate the locking ring counterclockwise and then, while pressing the XLR release, pull the microphone straight away from the 1201XT.

D. Input Level Adjustment

This screwdriver adjustment [p] controls the input level of the microphone. Counterclockwise rotation reduces the input gain while clockwise rotation in- creases the input gain.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Azden 1201 Series for your portable/ENG on-camera UHF wireless needs. We are confident that these compo- nents will perform beyond your expectations. For over 50 years, Azden Corporation has been creating technologically advanced products. By taking advantage of the latest in CAD design and SMT production tech- niques, Azden’s engineers are able to produce products that exceed the published specifications and perform well beyond the warranty period.

The 1201 Series represents a breakthrough in on-camera, digital frequency-selectable UHF receivers and transmitters. Its enhanced per- formance assures you of the highest image rejection combined with the finest in audio clarity. The PLL-synthesized mixer/local oscillator provides for extremely accurate frequency selection while the twin-antenna true diversity front-end reduces multi path distortion caused dropouts to near zero.

In the real world of ENG, the ability to be able to select a “clear” fre- quency on the spot is vitally important. Going out into the field with a single-frequency unit invites disaster since there is no way of knowing what frequencies will be used by the other crews that are covering the same story or event. Think of the 1201 Series units as your insurance policy - Your assurance of getting the story.

Designed by professionals - For professionals, the 1201 Series will pro- vide you with years of worry-free, high-quality performance.
