Introduction

AUDIO ENHANCEMENT has been creating technologically ad­vanced products that exceed expectations for over 25 years.
They are designed by caring professionals for those who teach
and those who will become the future leaders of America. Se­lecting the infrared classroom sound amplification system is the
most important step to improve the learning environment.

Your infrared classroom system represents a breakthrough in
classroom amplification. It assures you the clarity and interfer­ence free performance you expect; trouble free performance
with unlimited numbers of systems used in the same building.

Please read through this manual before installing and using the
IR systems and refer to it often to become familiar with class­room sound amplification systems. Our staff is available to an­swer any questions that may arise; call 1-800-383-9362.

Introduction

When asked to rank the importance of nine different
types of equipment used in classroom instruction,

34% of the teachers in general education ranked class-

room amplification most important , even over the

overhead projector, which came in second at 18% and the
computer at 16%! (1)

45% of the school day is spent by children engaged in

listening activities. (2)

90% of a very young child’s knowledge is attributed to

incidental reception of a conversation around them. (3)

“F” Function

ULTIMATE IISE

Amplifier Function Output Connections

Function Outputs are opto-isolated
and are the equivalent of an “Open
Collector” NPN transistor that can handle a
maximum of 30Vdc at 20mA. The “CNT”
terminal is the collector and the “COM” is the
emitter.

Function Action Description

F1 Function - The F1 function activation provides for a momentary (300 ms) activation
of the F1 “CNT and ”COM” terminals every time the “F” button is pressed. If the “F”
button is pressed and held in F1 function, it will provide a 300ms activation every
600ms. A 300ms ON followed by a 300ms OFF, repeating until the “F” button is re­leased.

F2 Function - The F2 function activation will cause the “F2” “CNT and ”COM” ter­minals to activate and remain activated until the receiver is powered OFF or the re­ceiver does not receive an “F2” signal from the microphone for 3 minutes.

The F2 transmission from a microphone can only be terminated by
turning the microphone power OFF.

Setting the Function Channel on the Teacher
microphone

1. Remove the battery cover of the microphone. Pull the
battery cover in the arrow direction while pressing the
“A” portion with both right and left thumbs to remove
the cover.

2. Set the transmitting channel and assign function F1 or
F2 with the Channel select control. To set the transmit­ting channels and assign functions to the function button,
use the small channel setting screwdriver (microphone's
accessory) to turn the channel select switch until it clicks
in place.

3. F2 is the Security Alert function. Typically this is the
function selected on the Teachers microphone. Channel
1 is normally used for the Teachers microphone as well.
Set the switch to CH 1 in the F2 (white background) area
of the switch.

F1 is the momentary activation function.
Set the Channel selector switch to the de­sired channel in the black background area
of the label.

The volume level of the infrared wireless microphones and the auxiliary inputs
can be controlled from the teardrop infrared wireless transmitter. To control the
level infrared wireless microphones and the signal level from the auxiliary in­puts.

First adjust the volume to an appropriate level with the controls that are part of
the receiver/amplifier system. Once the initial volume levels are set, the teacher
can then adjust the level of the his or her “OWN” microphone, the “OTHER”
infrared wireless microphone in the classroom, or the auxiliary “LINE” input
volume level. (The Teardrop teacher’s microphone is the only microphone that
has infrared remote control of the receiver\amplifier.)

●Adjusting the level of the audio signal output from the receiver.

1. Select the source to be controlled by pressing the “SELECT” button.
Select whether to adjust the volume of your "OWN“ microphone or the
"OTHER“ microphone or the “LINE” by selecting “OWN” ,

●Precautions for Installing the Sensors
◎Install the infrared sensors in a position that allows them to receive the infrared signal

regardless of the teachers movement around the classroom.
◎Do not install the sensors in direct sunlight or directly in front of strong lighting fix-

tures.

In particular, in case of the sensor is installed near by a window. Even if the sensor is
not in direct sunlight, reflections from sunlight may reduce the effective range of the
sensor. Install the infrared sensor as far away as possible (more than 5 meters) from a
window. In spite of installed far away more than 5 meters from the windows, the effec­tive range of the sensor is not improved, try to install more and more far away from a
windows, or try to use curtains or blinds for protection from the sun .

Caution: Possible Interference from Plasma Screens
Plasma screens can generate signals that interfere with IR audio systems. To

reduce interference, choose a plasma display which is equipped with an optical IR filter.
If this is not an option, please install IR sensor with the guidelines on page 38 in mind.

●Precautions for Installing the Sensors

・Install the infrared sensor in a position from which the screen of the plasma

display cannot be seen, in other words, in the zone which is crosswise direction
or behind from plasma display, and install the infrared sensor as far away as pos­sible (more than 10 meters) from the plasma display.

・Keep the infrared microphone and the photoreceptor sensor as close as
possible (less than 3 meters).
・Please use the infrared microp ho ne ke epi n g no screen (include human

body ) between the infrared microphone and the photoreceptor sensor.
◎Install the infrared sensor as far away as possible (more than 1 meter)

from fluorescent lighting.
◎The sensors may not operate if there is a strong source of electro-

magnetic noise (i.e. fluorescent lighting ballasts) causing interference. Install the
sensor far enough away from the noise source.

◎The sensors are designed for ceiling-heights from two to four meters
(6 to 12 feet). If the ceiling height exceeds this height the effective range of the

sensor may be reduced.

Caution: Attach the coaxial cable used to connect the infrared sensor to the re­ceiver to structure above the ceiling. This will prev ent the sensor from falling
should the screws come out. (Refer to diagram on page 34)
