DESCRIPTION

The Electro-Voice R100 is a series of VHF wire- less systems that combine EV’s legendary quality and reliability with high value. The R100 Series transmitters and receivers operate in the VHF fre- quency range between 174.100 and 185.350 MHz (channels 7 – 8 in the TV band) on single frequen- cies. The well-designed audio circuitry ensures high signal-to-noise ratio with accurate sound quality.

SECURE-PHASEtmDIVERSITY

The R100 Series receivers utilize patented Se- cure-Phasetmdiversity circuitry that provides the strongest, cleanest signal possible. Unlike other diversity circuits that switch antennas, Secure- Phasetm utilizes the signal from both antennas at all times to increase signal strength, minimize dropouts and lower the potential for interference.

If the signal from the transmitter changes phase or polarity (a common cause of dropouts), the cir- cuit adjusts the phase angle between the two an- tennas receiving circuits to prevent cancellation.

R100 SERIES COMPONENTS

R100 Secure-PhasetmDiversity Receiver

•Secure-Phasetmdiversity for maximum range and reliable performance

•Clean, undistorted sound reproduction using proprietary compander circuitry

•Wide-range adjustable audio output via line level ¼-inch connector

•May be rack mounted with optional kit

•External AC power adapter minimizes noise and makes voltage changes easy if necessary.

Power can also be supplied from a 12-volt bat- tery or filtered power supply.

•Permanently attached, specially-tuned anten- nas are easy to position

•RCV: VHF microphone receiver has smooth, accurate response

•GRV: VHF guitar receiver is specially designed to handle the transients of a guitar

The R100 Series receivers are easy to set up and operate. The only controls are the adjustable out- put level and squelch controls. The antennas are permanently attached telescoping types that are easy to position and are tuned to the range of op- eration. An optional rack-mount kit allows two sys- tems to be mounted in a single rack space.

HTV Handheld Transmitter

•Separate LEDs for power on and battery status for easy monitoring of operational modes.

•Separate power and audio mute switches for operational flexibility.

•Wide-range gain control allows approximately 30 dB of adjustment.

•Special “soft-touch” finish and ergonomically designed handle makes holding comfortable and secure.

•Up to 10 hours of operation on a 9-volt alkaline battery.

Bodypack Transmitters

•A variety of models are available:

•BLV: VHF bodypack with hardwired OLM10 omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone

•BPV: VHF bodypack with TA4F connector al- lows the user the freedom of microphone se- lection.
