mtu301 Body-pack Transmitter
Installation & Operation
Thank you for purchasing the mtu301 Body-pack Transmitter, a component of Audio-Technica’s award-winning SpectraPulse® Ultra Wideband Wireless Microphone System. Please follow the information contained in this manual closely, and refer to the SpectraPulse® Owners Manual for system operating instructions.
Note: Due to the highly directional nature of the SpectraPulse® system, two or more drm141 Digital Receiver Modules must be used in systems utilizing the mtu301 Body-pack Transmitter.
The mtu301 Body-pack Transmitter is optimized to work with a number of Audio-Technica lavalier and headworn microphones pre-terminated with a compatible input connector; these wireless microphone product numbers end with the designation “cW”.
The unit provides bias voltage for electret condenser microphones and features 9-hour battery life. It also offers an on/off switch, a mute switch, and LEDs indicating power/mute and link status as well as low-battery warning. Each mtu301 operates using 2 AA batteries. Standard alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries can be used. With use of an Audio-Technica chg001 Charger available separately, NiMH rechargeable batteries recharge within the unit. They will not overcharge.
