Potential Sources of Interference

R100 OWNERS MANUAL

COMPATIBILITY

The receiver and transmitter must be tuned to the same VHF frequency to operate together. Be- cause of the specialized equipment required to adjust these units properly, users cannot change frequencies.

If two or more R100 and/or other VHF/UHF wire- less systems are being used in the same location, proper frequency coordination is required to avoid interference. Frequency mixing and spacing must be factored along with local TV stations to deter- mine if conflicts will result from a specific group. Contact your dealer or Electro-Voice for fre- quency-selection assistance if you are planning to add more wireless systems to be operated simul- taneously in the same location.

There are many potential sources of interference for your wireless system. Any electronic compo-

nent that contains digital circuitry including digital signal processors (reverb/multi-effects units), electronic keyboards, digital lighting controllers, CD players and computers all emit rf energy that can affect the performance of your wireless sys- tem. It is always best to place your receiver as far away from these devices as possible to minimize the potential for of problems.

BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS

Fresh 9-volt alkaline batteries from a quality manufacturer will yield the best performance from R100 transmitters. 8.4-volt ni-cad batteries can be used but will yield much shorter operational time. When the transmitter switch is turned on, the bat- tery light will flash one time if the battery is good. If the light does not flash or stays lit continuously, the battery is weak or nearly dead. If the light comes on during use, the battery is weakening and should be replaced as soon as possible.

R100 specifications

The Electro-Voice R100 is a dynamic microphone that stands out in the competitive landscape of budget-friendly audio equipment. Designed for both novice and professional users, this microphone offers exceptional quality and versatility, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications including live performances, studio recordings, and public speaking.

One of the R100's key features is its cardioid polar pattern, which effectively concentrates on sound sources directly in front of the microphone while minimizing background noise and feedback from the sides and rear. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in environments where ambient noise could interfere with the clarity of vocals or instruments. The cardioid design enhances sound isolation, making the R100 suitable for both vocalists and instrument amplification.

The microphone is built with a rugged, durable construction that ensures it can withstand the rigors of frequent use. Its all-metal body not only provides physical resilience but also contributes to a high-quality feel in hand. The mesh grille protects the internal components from damage while also providing pop protection against sibilance and plosives, making it effective for vocal applications without the need for additional filters.

The R100 features a frequency response tailored for a smooth and natural sound, ranging from 50 Hz to 15 kHz. This response allows for clear voice reproduction while still capturing the nuances of musical instruments. It excels in reproducing mid-range frequencies, which are critical for delivering clear and articulate vocal performances.

In terms of connectivity, the Electro-Voice R100 utilizes a standard XLR output, making it compatible with a wide range of audio equipment, including mixers, interfaces, and PA systems. This universal compatibility simplifies integration into existing setups, whether for live or studio applications.

Additionally, the microphone is designed with a lightweight build, making it easy to handle for extended periods without causing fatigue. Its user-friendly characteristics make the R100 an excellent entry-level microphone for beginners, while still providing the performance quality that experienced users expect.

With its balance of affordability, durability, and sound quality, the Electro-Voice R100 emerges as a reliable microphone option that caters to a diverse array of audio needs. Whether you are a performer, podcaster, or recording artist, the R100 offers a practical and effective solution for capturing audio with clarity and precision.
