Installation and Operation

This device complies with EN300 422-1, EN301 489-09

(EMC) and EN60065.

The ATW-R160, ATW-T161, ATW-T162 and ATW-T163 are intended to be used in all countries of the European Union.

Please note :

Frequency usage is different for each country. Your Audio-

Technica agent will have all the necessary details on the available legal frequencies for your area.

CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not expose to rain or moisture.

The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with european regulations (R & TTE directive). 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 difficulty, 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.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing an Audio-Technica professional wireless system. You have joined thousands of other satisfied customers who have chosen our products because of their quality, performance and reliability. This Audio-Technica wireless microphone system is the successful result of years of design and manufacturing experience.

Each 1600 Series wireless system provides a choice of PLL-synthesized UHF frequencies. Each wireless system includes a receiver and either a body-pack or handheld transmitter.

Individual components are also available separately.

The ATW-R160 receiver 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 an LCD information display provides constant monitoring of system operation. 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 AT8616 joining-plate kit.

The versatile ATW-T161 UniPak ™ body-pack transmitter has both low- and high-impedance inputs plus a bias connection, for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones, as well as Hi-Z instrument pickups.

The ATW-T162 handheld dynamic microphone/transmitter features a hyper cardioid element created for professional livesound venues.

The ATW-T163 handheld condenser microphone/transmitter features a cardioid element created for professional live-sound venues and installations, such as use with inductive loop systems.

Transmitters in the 1600 Series use two 1.5V AA batteries for economical operation and wide availability.

Tone squelch system in the ATW-R160 receiver opens only when a 1600 Series transmitter is detected, reducing the possibility of interference. As a result, 1600 Series transmitters and receivers must be used together and should not be used with components from other Audio-Technica wireless systems, or with those of other manufacturers.

Please note that in multiple-system applications there must be a transmitter-receiver combination set to a separate frequency for each input desired (only one transmitter for each receiver).

Due to the wireless frequencies being within UHF TV frequency bands, only certain operating frequencies may be useable in a particular geographic area.

Please contact your National Radio Licensing Authority for further information.

Receiver Installation

Location

For best operation the receiver should be at least 1 m above the ground and at least 1 m away from a wall or metal surface to minimise reflections. The transmitter should be at least 1 m from the receiver, as shown in Figure A.

Keep antennas away from noise sources such as digital equipment, motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as large metal objects.

Antennas

Attach the included pair of UHF antennas to the antenna input jacks. The antennas are normally positioned in the shape of a

“V” (both 45° from vertical) for best reception.

Antennas can be remotely located from the receiver. However, due to signal loss in cables at UHF frequencies, use the lowest-loss RF cables practical for any cable runs over 25 feet

(8 m ). RG8-type is a good choice. Use only copper-shielded cable, not CATV-type foil-shielded wire. Audio-Technica offers quality RF cables in four lengths, as well as remote antennas; see the Optional System Accessories section on page 9.

Output Connections

There are two audio outputs on the back panel: balanced

(32 mV) and unbalanced (52 mV). Use shielded audio cable for the connection between the receiver and the mixer. If the input of the mixer is a 1 /

4

" jack, connect a cable from the 1 /

4

" unbalanced audio output on the back of the receiver housing to the mixer. If the input of the mixer is an XLR-type input, connect a cable from the balanced XLR-type audio output on the back panel to the mixer. The two isolated audio outputs permit simultaneous feeds to both unbalanced and balanced inputs.

For example, both a guitar amp and a mixer can be driven by the receiver.

Power Connections

Connect the supplied AT 220 ~ 240V, 50Hz AC adapter to the

DC power input on the back of the receiver. Operation of the receiver is controlled by the front-panel Power switch.

Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the audio input connector on the bottom of the transmitter.

A number of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are available separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak input connector (see “Optional System Accessories” on page 9).

Transmitting Antenna

The UniPak transmitter includes a permanently-attached flexible antenna. For best results, allow the antenna to hang freely and full length from the bottom of the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different transmitter positions on your body or instrument; or try repositioning the receiver. Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the length of the transmitting antenna.

The antenna for the ATW-T162 and ATW-T163 handheld transmitters are located at the bottom of the units. For the best results, hold the Microphone naturally around the centre of the body.

Holding or otherwise covering antenna housing may affect operating range.

Receiver Squelch

Selecting/Setting Frequency

It’s usually best to start by setting the receiver’s frequency to determine there is no local interference on that frequency.

Then, always make certain to set the transmitter to the receiver’s exact frequency. The receiver’s Tone Lock system squelches the audio only, permitting any RF energy on the frequency to show on the “RF” bar-meter.

Receiver On…

The Power switch indicator and the LCD window will light up, the normal-operation LCD display will appear after 1-2 seconds

(Figure D). If any of the bars show in the “RF” bar-graph meter, there may be RF interference in the area. If this occurs, select another frequency as explained below.

Setting Transmitter Frequency

ATW-T161

Slide the Battery cover off and use screwdriver provided to set the channel switch to the same channel selected on the receiver.

ATW-T162, ATW-T163

While holding the upper part of the transmitter body just below the ball-screen, unscrew lower body cover, slide downward and remove to expose battery compartment.

Use screwdriver provided to set the channel switch to the same channel selected on the receiver.

The 1600 Series employs a Tone Lock squelch system that provides enhanced rejection of RF interference. The squelch control on the front panel of the receiver is preset at the factory, but can be adjusted if you are using the system in a high RF interference area. This adjustment can cause a reduction in the useable range of the wireless transmitter, so set the control to the lowest position which reliably mutes the unwanted RF signals.

Input Level Adjustment

An input trimmer control (Trim) in the transmitters enables you to maximize performance for a particular microphone or guitar sensitivity, or to adjust for different acoustic input levels.

CAUTION! The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the supplied screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal 190 o range of rotation.

Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when not in use.

Setting Levels

Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input, receiver audio output, and mixer/amplifier input and output levels is important for optimum system performance.

Adjusting Input Level - UniPak Transmitter

Slide the battery cover off the top part of transmitter and remove the screwdriver from its clip (Figure E). Gently turn the

"MT" (mic trimmer) and "GT" (guitar trimmer) control to their full counterclockwise positions (marked “Lo”).

• Microphone: Adjusting input level

While speaking /singing into the microphone at typically-loud levels, carefully turn the MT control clockwise while watching the receiver’s AF Level indicator. Increase the Trim control setting until the maximum audio output of the mic lights about three or four units on the receiver's AF Level indicator. Do not set the level too high. At normal audio levels, only the first two or perhaps three units should light.

(When using a microphone, return the GT control setting to minimum)

• Guitar/Instrument: Adjusting input level

While playing at typically-loud levels, carefully turn the GT control clockwise while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. Increase the Trim control setting until the maximum audio output of the mic lights about three or four units on the receiver's AF Level indicator. Do not set the level too high.

After adjusting input level, return the screwdriver to its clip and reinstall the battery cover. No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as the input device and the acoustic input level are not changed.

System Operation

(Continued)

Adjusting Input Level - Handheld Transmitter

Unscrew the lower body cover and slide it downward, exposing the screwdriver and Trim control (Figure G and H). Remove the screwdriver and gently turn the Trim control marked "VR" (variable resistor) to its full counterclockwise position.

While speaking /singing into the microphone at typically loud levels, carefully turn the VR control clockwise while watching the receiver’s AF Level indicator. Increase the VR control setting until the maximum audio output of the mic lights three or four units on the receiver's AF Level indicator. Do not set the level too high. At normal audio levels, only the first two or three units should light.

Return the screwdriver to its clip and close and secure the lower body. No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as the acoustic input does not change significantly.

RF Power Adjustment

ATW-T161 RF power may be set to RF "Hi” (20 mW nominal) or

RF "Lo” (10 mW nominal) via battery save switch (Figure E).

The default setting is RF "Lo”. While the RF "Hi” setting normally provides maximum operating range, the RF "Lo” setting will help extend battery life. The RF "Lo” setting may also be preferred in multi-channel systems, or when operating very close to the receiver, to reduce the possibility of interference or overload.

Special Note: If accessing de-regulated frequencies between

863 to 865MHz(Ch. C to F), ATW-T161 must be set to RF

Low.

RF Interference

Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services. According to the National Communication

Authority, “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.

Extensive wireless information is also available on the

Audio-Technica US Web site at www.audio-technica.com

Ten Tips to Obtain the Best Results

1.

Use only fresh alkaline batteries. Do not use “general purpose” (carbon-zinc) batteries.

6.

The receiver and transmitter must be set to the same frequency.

2.

Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstructions between it and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight is best.

3.

The transmitter and the receiver should be as close together as conveniently possible, but no closer than three feet (1 m).

7.

A receiver cannot receive signals from two transmitters at the same time.

8.

Do not obstruct the handheld transmitter’s antenna

(located at the base) or attached body-pack transmitter’s antenna with your hands.

4.

5.

Avoid placing the receiver in a low or shielded location where the transmitter and receiver antennas are not visible to each other. If necessary, use remotely-located receiver antennas.

Avoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF generating equipment.

9.

You need to change frequencies 1) when a strong interference signal is received, 2) when audio quality is poor due to weak RF, or 3) during multiple-system operation in order to select an interference-free frequency.

10. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the batteries if the transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.
