The ATW-T1802 plug-on transmitter has a 3-pin XLRF-type input connector with a locking collar. Use either a dynamic or a condenser microphone. The transmitter provides power to condenser microphones rated to operate on 12V phantom power or less. To attach the microphone, rotate the threaded locking collar fully clockwise (“down”) until it reaches the transmitter housing (see a at right ). Press the microphone and transmitter together (see b at right ). Rotate the thread- ed collar “up” until it is firmly against the end of the mic (see c at right ). Make certain the mic is securely attached before use. To detach the microphone, reverse the steps above. Always loosen the threaded collar fully before attempting to disconnect the mic.
