serviceable parts inside.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as re, near heating
units or in direct sunlight.
• To prevent re or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain
or moisture.
• To prevent re, do not place any naked ame sources (such as
lighted candles) on the apparatus.
• To prevent re, do not cover the ventilation of the apparatus with
newspaper, tablecloths, curtains etc.
• Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
• Do not place any objects lled with liquids, such as vases, on the
apparatus.
• Do not install this apparatus in a conned space such as a bookcase
or similar unit.
• The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet
so that you can easily grasp the AC adapter at any time. In case of
emergency, disconnect the AC adapter quickly.
• Always consider environmental issues and follow your local
regulations when disposing of batteries. Do not expose batteries to
excessive heat.
The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely
adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with federal
regulations. Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter. To do so
will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.
Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers
or AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal
functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have
low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) which are unlikely
to cause difculty, especially if they are at least a few inches away.
However, since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against
the body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt
pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical device.
Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF
transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or
medical-device provider if you have any questions, or experience any
problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.
RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio
services. According to Federal Communications Commission
regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected
from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any
interference is received by any Government or non Government
operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation...” If you
need assistance with operation or frequency selection, please contact
your dealer or Audio-Technica.
Thank you for choosing this Audio-Technica 3000 Series Frequency-agile
True Diversity UHF Wireless System.
The 3000 Series wireless system is available in six UHF frequency
bands to provide exible performance in a wide variety of regions
worldwide:
Frequency Range Number of frequencies
Band C 541.500 – 566.375 MHz 996
Band D 655.500 – 680.375 MHz 996
Band E 795.500 – 820.000 MHz 981
Band F 840.125 – 864.900 MHz 953
Band G 721.500 – 746.375 MHz 996
Band I 482.000 – 507.000 MHz 1001
Band U 606.000 – 631.000 MHz 1001
The band letter reference at the end of 3000 Series Stock Numbers
indicates what band the system/component operates in. For simplicity,
model numbers used throughout this manual will reference only the
basic model number without the band indications.
Each wireless system includes a receiver and either a body-pack or
handheld transmitter. UniPak® body-pack transmitter systems may
include an accessory microphone for a particular application. All A-T
Wireless Essentials® microphones and cables, available separately, are
pre-terminated for use with any Audio-Technica 3000 Series wireless
system.
All 3000 Series components feature soft-touch controls for quick, easy
access to a formidable range of functions; an LCD information display
in each unit provides convenient visual indication of unit settings and
operation.
The ATW-R3100b receiver is equipped with automatic frequency
scanning for easy setup. It also features true diversity reception. Two
antennas feed two completely independent RF sections on the same
frequency; automatic logic circuitry continuously compares and selects
the superior received signal, providing better sound quality and reducing
the possibility of interference and dropouts. Soft-touch controls
provide convenient access to a variety of functions, while a backlit LCD
information display provides constant monitoring of system operation,
including indication of the transmitter’s battery status. The receiver is
half-width for a standard 1U 19" rack mount; rack-mount adapters are
included. Two receivers can be mounted side by side, using an optional
AT8630 joining-plate kit.
The versatile ATW-T310b UniPak® body-pack transmitter has both
low- and high-impedance inputs, plus a bias connection for use with
electret condenser microphones, as well as Hi-Z instrument pickups.
In addition to its programmable functions, the transmitter features
a three-position sliding cover to limit access, if desired, to just the
Power/Mute button, or to cover all the controls, as appropriate for the
application and user. The ATW-T341b handheld dynamic microphone/
transmitter features the same element used in the Artist Elite® AE4100
dynamic handheld microphone created for professional livesound
venues. The ATW-T371b handheld condenser microphone/transmitter
features the same element used in the Artist Series ATM710 cardioid
condenser vocal microphone.
Transmitters in the 3000 Series use two 1.5V AA batteries for
economical operation and wide availability. The receiver and both
transmitters have “fuel gauge” battery condition indicators with
low-battery warnings.
An advanced Digital Tone Lock™ tone squelch system in the
ATW-R3100b receiver opens only when a 3000 Series transmitter
