WGT-15 Instrument Bodypack Transmitter

WGT-15 INSTRUMENT BODYPACK TRANSMITTER

1.Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (30) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY (31), observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment. The WGT-15 is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (32) for connecting the INSTRUMENT CABLE (35). To secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring on the plug clockwise to thread it on to the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your clothes or instrument strap. (Note: As the cord to the instrument also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully for maximum range. Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range.)

2.Turn on the WGT-15 by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (32) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (33) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one.

3.The WGT-15 transmitter is now ready to use. Most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs

(4) on the Encore I receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Instrument Connections section of the above Encore I receiver instructions. For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (34) is provided on the top panel of the WGT-15. Adjust the gain by turning the control with a small slot head screwdriver. It is recommended that this control be turned to maximum gain. However, for ultra high-gain instrument sources such as active bass pickups or even extra hot guitar pickups, turning the level down slightly will create a cleaner sound. (Note: Turning down the input gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise ratio and is not recommended. Set for the maximum possible gain and headroom without noticeable distortion on the high level peaks).

The AF LEVEL LED DISPLAY (5) on the Encore I receiver will light up to 5 LEDs (4 green and 1 red) for all input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use of the top red LED indicator in this display is normal, however if the red LED stays on continuously, turn down the instrument volume or adjust the INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (34) on the WGT-15 transmitter, or noticeable distortion may result.

(Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars/basses with dirty pots or connections are used with any wireless system. For this reason, the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD (35) has a factory installed capacitor inside the 1/ 4" plug. This capacitor provides first order filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should your equipment still give you scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them:

1)Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are solid – this is very important.

2)Provide extra filtering with a 220 pF capacitor soldered across the hot to ground terminals of the guitar's volume and tone pots.)

Encore I specifications

The Nady Systems Encore I represents a significant advancement in wireless microphone technology, delivering clarity and reliability to both performers and presenters. Designed with versatility in mind, the Encore I is suitable for a wide range of applications, including live performances, conferences, and educational settings.

One of the main features of the Encore I is its UHF (Ultra High Frequency) operation. With a frequency range that typically spans from 600 to 700 MHz, it provides better sound quality and reduced interference compared to VHF systems. The UHF transmission allows for a broader selection of channels, making it easier for users to find a clear frequency in crowded environments, which is a common challenge in today’s wireless landscape.

The Encore I also boasts a simple yet effective automatic frequency scanning feature. This technology scans the available frequencies and selects the best one to minimize dropouts and interference. This ensures that the user can focus on their performance without worrying about technical difficulties. The system supports multiple channels, allowing for multi-channel setups with multiple performers.

Another standout characteristic of the Encore I is its rugged build quality. Designed for the rigors of frequent use, the microphone and receiver are constructed to withstand the demands of touring musicians and event hosts alike. The handheld microphone features a high-quality dynamic capsule that captures sound accurately while minimizing feedback and handling noise.

The Encore I also includes an integrated LED indicator for battery status, providing real-time notifications to users about power levels. This preventative measure is crucial for performances, allowing artists to replace or recharge batteries before they run out.

Furthermore, the system offers a range of up to 300 feet in open spaces, providing freedom of movement, which is essential for dynamic performances. The compact and lightweight receiver can be easily mounted or placed on a tabletop, facilitating quick setups in various environments.

Overall, the Nady Systems Encore I stands out due to its robust features, user-friendly operation, and reliable performance. Whether for live stage applications or intimate gatherings, this wireless microphone system delivers exceptional audio fidelity and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for anyone in need of quality sound reinforcement.
