Professional UHF Wireless Systems

Installation and 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 medicaldevice provider if you have any questions, or experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.

CAUTION! The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for optimum performance. Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.

This device complies with the European R&TTE directive 1999/05/EC. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

Dispose of exhausted batteries in accordance with local/national regulations. Do not dispose of exhausted batteries in a fire or incinerate.

Remove outer cover in order to access power rating and model number information. (handheld transmitter) Do not use the body-pack if the antenna shows any signs of damage. (body-pack transmitter)

The systems can be supplied in five frequency bands within the UHF range.

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.

Band C: 541.500 - 566.375 MHz

Band D: 655.500 - 680.375 MHz

IntelliScan™Channel Assignment System

The IntelliScan

™

automatic channel assignment system, provided on both the 4000 and 5000 Series receivers, greatly simplifies the selection of usable frequencies in a multi-channel wireless system. The receivers are first linked together with included communication cables. The selected “Master” receiver then “knows” how many total channels it is looking for. It can scan the available frequencies, checking for local interference sources, selecting a group of channels that will all work together (using a built-in frequency plan), and automatically setting the other receivers accordingly. Once this procedure is completed, it’s just a matter of setting the transmitter frequencies to match those of the receivers.

Artist Elite Transmitters

Transmitter models in the Artist Elite Series include:

• AEW-T1000 UniPak

™

body-pack transmitter

• AEW-T3300 Handheld mic/transmitter with AEW-C3300 cardioid condenser capsule

• AEW-T4100 Handheld mic/transmitter with AEW-C4100 cardioid dynamic capsule

• AEW-T5400 Handheld mic/transmitter with AEW-C5400 cardioid condenser capsule

• AEW-T6100 Handheld mic/transmitter with AEW-C6100 hypercardioid dynamic capsule

All components in the 4000/5000 Series may be used together in a variety of unit combinations and system configurations to create extremely flexible and powerful solutions for a variety of applications.

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.

Recent advances in the quality and sophistication of professional live-sound systems have been nothing short of revolutionary. Tours, clubs, broadcast events, corporate facilities and worship venues sound better than ever, utilizing better system design and better components in the audio chain.

That’s why Audio-Technica has been partnering with industry professionals on the front line of this revolution – the top touring companies, award show designers, FOH and monitor engineers, audio consultants and artists – to learn what it takes to make the best-sounding, most reliable and consistent microphones for the live-sound industry.

We listened carefully. Then, we applied this knowledge to the creation of the Artist Elite

™

line of high-performance microphones and wireless systems. Our ultimate design goal was this: Each model must extend the performance of a sound system, not limit it.

Artist Elite Receivers

Artist Elite 4000 Series and 5000 Series wireless systems by Audio-Technica share a range of transmitters in common, both body-pack and handheld types. The difference between the two series is simply in the choice of receiver:

4000 Series AEW-R4100 half-rack single receiver with

multi-unit, multi-channel control linking.

5000 Series AEW-R5200 full-rack independent dual

receiver with multi-unit, multi-channel control linking, plus Ethernet computercontrol connection, and software for graphical user interface.

Operating Frequencies

4000/5000 Series systems and components operate on approximately 200 frequencies for each 25MHz-wide UHF frequency band. See frequency listing on page 3:

For simplicity, model numbers used throughout this manual will reference only the basic model number.

Artist Elite Series components feature an advanced digital Tone Lock

™

squelch system and unique Dual Compander design (patents pending). As a result, Artist Elite Series transmitters and receivers must be used together in Tx-Rx pairs and should not be mixed with components from other Audio-Technica wireless systems, or with those of other manufacturers.

All Artist Elite 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. Digital data send by the transmitters is available for display on the receivers.

Receivers

Both Artist Elite receiver models feature 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.

Both receivers offer a choice of approximately 200 operating frequencies in a 25 MHz-wide UHF frequency range. AEW wireless are designed with a channel spacing that exceeds the transmitters’ maximum modulation deviation, so even adjacent channels are actually usable, unlike some other wireless systems on the market. (For operation of two or more systems at the same time, please consult the multi-channel plan on page 30, or use the IntelliScan function for frequency selection.)

AEW-R4100:

A single synthesized UHF receiver in a half-rack 1U case. Its power supply operates on 100–240V 50/60 Hz AC power worldwide with the appropriate IEC-type power input cordset.

AEW-R5200:

Two independent synthesized UHF receiver channels in a full-rack 1U case. Its common power supply operates on 100–240V 50/60 Hz AC power worldwide with the appropriate IEC-type power input cordset. In addition, a “passthrough” AC outlet on each receiver with included AC jumper cable permits daisy-chaining of an entire AEW-R5200 receiver stack, freeing AC outlets for other equipment.

Multi-channel Systems

Artist Elite systems provide extensive monitoring and control facilities. Transmitter data, in addition to being available at the transmitter, is conveyed in digital form to and displayed on the associated receiver.

Linked systems:

Both Artist Elite receivers provide linking jacks and cables. AEW-R4100 and AEW-R5200 receivers may be combined in linked multi-channel systems, if desired.

Ethernet-based monitoring and control (AEW-R5200):

Some wireless systems on the market offer remote control/monitoring of the receiver via a serial interface, but the Audio-Technica AEWR5200 receiver takes this a significant step further by including control over IP using standard networking protocol and Ethernet interfacing. This permits receivers in a system to be integrated, monitored and controlled from a single computer in real-time. And not only can an individual channel of an individual receiver be examined and its settings modified: if the transmitter on that channel is activated, thanks to the digital data link, data from the associated transmitter can also be monitored.

Because standard control over IP is used, Ethernet-connected AEW systems can range from a single laptop controlling a free-standing multi-channel system, to local area network-based systems, to systems controlled via the Internet, even from great distances. Complete setup and operating information for computer-connected AEW systems will be found in the separate Computer Interface manual provided with AEW-R5200 receivers and 5000 Series systems.

Transmitters

The versatile AEW-T1000 UniPak

™

body-pack transmitter features a metal case and includes field-replaceable helical and flexible-wire antennas. It 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. In addition to its programmable functions, the transmitter includes a three-position sliding control cover to limit access, if desired, to only the Power/Mute button, or to no controls at all, as appropriate for the application and/or user.

The handheld microphone/transmitters feature metal-body construction. Four models are available, incorporating a variety of capsules from the Artist Elite

™

wired-microphone series

created for professional live-sound venues.

All Artist Elite Series transmitters 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.

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). Because the wireless frequencies are within UHF TV frequency bands, only certain operating frequencies may be usable in a particular geographic area. Also, only certain of the available operating frequencies may be used together. Operating frequencies and multi-channel suggestions will be found on pages 29-30. (Use of the IntelliScan channel assignment system will determine and set appropriate frequencies automatically.)

Receiver Installation

Location

For best operation the receiver should be at least 3 ft. (1 m) above the ground and at least 3 ft. away from a wall or metal surface to minimize reflections. The transmitter should be at least 3 ft. 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 away from large metal objects.

Output Connections

There are two audio outputs on the back panel: an XLR Mic Output (25 mV) and a

/4" (6.3 mm) phone jack Instrument Output (50 mV). The two isolated audio outputs permit simultaneous feeds to two different inputs.

AEW-R4100:

This receiver offers a balanced XLR Mic jack and an

unbalanced Instrument

/4" TS phone jack. Output levels of both

are adjusted by the rear-panel Attenuator (ATTN) switch.

AEW-R5200:

Since there are two independent channels of receiver in the AEW-R5200, there are two sets of output jacks. All audio outputs on the AEW-R5200 are transformer-isolated and balanced. The ground connections of both outputs on each receiver channel may be interrupted (“lifted”) by use of their associated Ground Lift switch. This permits feeding mixers with different ground levels without an additional external splitter. The Instrument output is a balanced

/4" TRS jack with “audio +” on the Tip, “audio –” on the Ring and ground (shield) on the Sleeve. The rear-panel Attenuator (ATTN) switch for each receiver channel adjusts levels of both outputs in its channel.

Use the appropriate shielded audio cable for connections between the receiver and the input(s) of the mixer or other equipment.

Antennas

Attach a 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. In addition to rotating at the connector, the included half-wave antennas pivot from straight to right-angle.

Antennas can be remotely located from the receiver. However, due to signal loss in cables at UHF frequencies, use the lowestloss RF cables practical for any cable runs over 25 feet. RG8-type is a good choice. Use only copper-shielded cable, not CATV-type foil-shielded wire. Audio-Technica offers auxiliary antennas, and quality RF cables in four lengths; see the Optional System Accessories section on page 28.

Antenna Power

The antenna input jacks also can provide +12V DC output on their center pins to power inline RF devices. A maximum of 20 mA can be drawn from each of the jacks. While an accidental short-circuit will not harm the internal 12V supply, make certain that an antenna cable shield does not contact the center conductor. Antenna Power (“

ANT.PWR

”) is selected (switched on or off) from the LCD menu. (On the AEW-R5200, Antenna Power will be found in the menu on Channel 1 only.)

Receiver Installation

(Continued)

Front-mount Antennas

AEW-R4100:

Provision has been made to move the antenna jacks from the rear to the front of the receiver. However, because this involves opening the receiver case and exposing AC power circuitry, instructions are not included in this manual. A qualified service technician must perform this modification.

AEW-R5200:

BNC-to-BNC connectors and jumper cables are included with the unit to permit mounting antennas on the front panel.

• BNC-BNC through-panel connectors: Remove the nut and

lock-washer from each connector. Install the connectors

from the front

into the two panel holes. Note that the flat on the threaded section must be aligned with the flat in each panel hole. Secure each connector from the back with its lock-washer and nut, tightening the nut firmly.

• BNC-BNC cable jumpers: Connect the jumpers to the rear antenna jacks first; then attach them to the BNC connectors on the front panel. Make certain the bayonet twist-rings are

fully latched

on the connectors at both ends.

Headphone Jack

A headphone jack on the front panel provides monitoring of the receiver’s output. The

/4" TRS jack is intended for use with stereo headphones. The Phones Level control affects the headphone jack only. Note: On an operating unit,

be careful not to press the Power switch accidentally when inserting a headphone jack or adjusting the headphone level.

In addition to interrupting receiver operation, even a momentary loss of power to a single unit within a linked multi-channel system will cause the loss of linking connection to the affected receiver and all those “downstream” from it.

AEW-R5200:

Press and release the Phones Level control knob to switch headphone monitoring from Channel 1 to Channel 2 and back again. Small, lighted indicators just above the knob show which receiver channel is being monitored.

Power Connections

The switching power supply is designed to operate properly from any AC power source 100–240V, 50/60 Hz without user adjustment. Simply connect the receiver to a standard AC power outlet,

using only an IEC-type input cordset approved for the

country of use.

Power to the unit is controlled by the front-panel

Power switch.

AEW-R5200:

An auxiliary AC “jumper” (pass-through) outlet is provided on the rear panel, and a ”jumper” power cordset is included, to simplify power connections by “daisy-chaining” an array of AEW-R5200’s. Maximum output from the auxiliary outlet is 5 Amperes, which will easily handle a full complement of AEW-R5200 units.

“Link” Connections

Artist Elite Series multi-channel systems can comprise all AEW-R4100, all AEW-R5200, or combinations of AEW-R4100 and AEW-R5200 receivers. As many as 19 Artist Elite wireless systems may be operated simultaneously. The exclusive IntelliScan

™

channel assignment system provides easy, automatic scanning of the RF spectrum and assignment of usable, compatible frequencies to all linked AEW receiver channels.

Both AEW receiver models can be interconnected using Link In/Out jacks and included link cables. In addition, the AEW-R5200 offers a built-in Ethernet 10BaseT connection, with interface software provided on CD-ROM. See the separate AEW Control Interface manual provided with AEW-R5200 receivers and 5000 Series systems.

All AEW receivers in a linked multi-channel system should be interconnected with included link cables. When the system is properly configured, the “slave” units will “link data in” to the “Master” unit. (See Figure B for an example.)

1. First, decide which receiver will be the “Master” unit. Connect a link cable to the Link In

jack

only

. (In an AEW-R5200, the Channel 1 unit is the Master and Channel 2 becomes the first “slave.”)

2. Connect the free end of the link cable from the Master unit (in #1 above) to the Link Out

jack of the desired “next” unit.

3. Connect one end of a new link cable to the Link In

jack of

the unit in #2 above.

4. Connect the free end of the link cable from the unit in #2 above to the Link Out

jack of the desired “next” unit.

5. Continue this process of “daisy-chaining” the system’s receivers together with link cables. The “last” unit in the system will have a cable connected to its Link Out jack, but

connection to its Link In jack.

Installing link cables starting with the last slave unit and working toward the Master unit is also acceptable practice.

The attachment order of link cables establishes the numerical order of the receivers in the multi-channel system, from the selected Master unit through all the slave units. (In the case of AEW-R5200 receivers, a unit’s Channel 1 always comes before its Channel 2.) In a multi-channel system that includes both models of receivers, it’s common practice to position all the AEW-R5200 units

first

in the chain; followed any AEW-R4100 units.

Note 1: For the receiver linking to work, all receivers in the system must have AC power applied

at the same time

, or the

Master receiver must be turned on

last

Note 2: In addition, if AC power is interrupted or a link connection is broken at

any

receiver in a linked system,

even for an instant

, receivers from that unit onward are no longer linked to the system. When all power and linking have been restored,

the system must be restarted by turning all the receivers Off, then On

(all turned on simultaneously, or the Master receiver must be

turned on

last

). This will re-initialize the system and

re-establish all the data links.

Ethernet connections (AEW-R5200):

An RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of each AEW-R5200 provides an Ethernet 10BaseT data/control connection from both of its channels to an external computer system. Data monitored includes actual, real-time “

”

and “

” levels for receiver channels with

direct

Ethernet connections to the associated computer. All other linked receivers in a system supply control-function access and all their data – except for “

” and “AF” levels – to the

computer connected to the Master receiver.

Multiple AEW-R5200 receivers in a system can each provide realtime “

” and “AF” levels to the associated computer if

each

AEW-R5200 has its own Ethernet connection, through an Ethernet hub, to the computer.

Other than being able to “see” the “

” and “AF” levels, all functions of all receivers in a linked system can be monitored and controlled from the computer connected to the Master receiver.

Details of the computer setup and operation will be found in a separate AEW Control Interface manual provided with AEW-R5200 receivers and 5000 Series systems.

Receiver Controls and Functions

(Continued)

Receiver Controls Power On/Off

Press the power switch to turn the receiver on. After a short power-up sequence, the display shows the operating frequency and the alert light is illuminated (if no active transmitters are present on this frequency). The receiver may also display a system position (i.e., “MASTER”, “SLV-#”) or an assigned transmitter or receiver name (if this feature has been set up—the display recalls the setting from the last time power was applied). Refer to page 16 on setting up receiver names or page 20 on setting up transmitter names.

Level

This control is used to set a comfortable listening level for the headphone jack. Turn the control clockwise to increase the level.

LCD Window

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) window provides visual indication of key operating and configuration parameters. It is also used in conjunction with the Mode/Set and Up/Down arrow buttons to change user-configurable functions.

Alert Light (LED)

The alert light illuminates to indicate to the user that something needs attention; for example, the transmitter batteries are low, or the transmitter is muted or turned off. Refer to page 10 for a complete description of alert light indications.

Mode/Set Button

The Mode/Set button has different functions depending on the status of the receiver. Two distinct operations are associated with this button:

Touch:

A momentary press of the Mode/Set button. It is used to enter Menu mode, to enter Edit mode, or to Escape without making any changes to current settings.

Hold:

A press and hold (about two seconds) of the Mode/Set button. It is used to accept a new setting when the receiver is in Edit mode or to save the current settings to one of the five user-defined name presets or the internal memory location (“NAME?”).

Up/Down Arrow Buttons

The Up/Down arrow buttons are used in conjunction with the Mode/Set button to scroll through the function menu in Menu mode or through the available choices for a given function in Edit mode.

When the receiver is in normal operating mode, the Up/Down arrow buttons scroll through Receiver Address (“MASTER” or “SLV-#”), Receiver Preset Name, or Transmitter Preset Name.

How to change receiver settings Enter Menu mode

With the receiver in the normal operating mode,

touch

the Mode/Set button. The top line of the receiver display shows “FRQ” preceded by one, two, or three asterisks.

Touch

the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll through the available functions that may be changed. (See the chart on page 17 for a list of functions and display indication.) Note that the display’s lower line indicates the current setting for a given function.

Enter Edit mode

When the function to be edited is displayed,

touch

the Mode/Set button. The small word “EDIT” flashes in the bottom of the display, indicating Edit mode.

Touch

the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll through the

available choices for the function, stopping on the desired choice.

Hold

the Mode/Set button to accept the new choice. “STORED” appears in the display when the choice is accepted. The receiver then reverts to Menu mode.

Continue this process until all desired function-setting changes are complete.

Note: To escape from Edit mode without making any changes,

touch

the Mode/Set button. “ESCAPE” appears briefly in the

display, and the receiver reverts to Menu mode.

Quitting and saving changes

The receiver has several methods of saving function settings. Each receiver has five loadable user presets that may be given individual names (up to six characters), along with a special, nonloadable memory location called “NAME?” that can store the most recent settings until they are changed.

To save a set of receiver function settings, use the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll until the display shows “QUIT.” The procedure for saving the current settings depends upon the desired location:

Saving to the “NAME?” location

If the current receiver settings do

not

need to be identified with a name, the special “NAME?” location may be used to store them. As with the “last number redial” function on a telephone, these settings remain stored in the receiver even if power is turned off. They disappear only if one of the settings is modified.

To store settings in the “NAME?” location,

touch

the Mode/Set

button. The display shows “NAME?” for the receiver name.

Saving updated settings to the currently loaded user “PRESET#” location

To update the receiver settings in the currently loaded user preset that is already named,

hold

the Mode/Set button. The display shows “STORE XXXXXX” (where XXXXXX indicates the preset’s name).

Hold

the Mode/Set button a

second

time. The first character

of the name flashes.

Hold

the Mode/Set button a

third

time. The display briefly shows

“STORED”, and the receiver reverts to normal operation.

Receiver Controls and Functions

(Continued)

Saving to a different user PRESET# location

To store settings to a different user preset location,

hold

the Mode/Set button. The receiver shows “STORE XXXXXX” (where XXXXXX indicates the loaded preset’s name).

Touch

the Up/Down buttons to scroll to another preset location (the display shows the user-defined name for each location, or “PRESET#” if no name has been assigned).

At the desired preset location,

hold

the Mode/Set button. The

first character of the name becomes the cursor and flashes.

Touch

the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll through the characters until the desired character is displayed.

Touch

the Mode/Set button to accept the character and advance to the next character. To advance the cursor without changing the character,

touch

the Mode/Set button.

After setting the last character,

hold

the Mode/Set button to

store the name and revert to normal operation.

Holding

the Mode/Set button at any time during the naming process while the cursor is flashing will store the setting and return the receiver to normal operation.

Note: To escape the naming process,

touch

the Mode/Set

button repeatedly until the last character is flashing, and then

touch

the Mode/Set button again to escape. At the flashing

“ESCAPE” display,

touch

the Mode/Set button to go back to the

beginning of the name, or

hold

the Mode/Set button to return to

“QUIT.”

Receiver Functions IntelliScan

™

Channel Assignment System

The IntelliScan

™

channel assignment system, provided on both the AEW-R4100 and AEW-R5200 receivers, eliminates the trouble and frustration normally encountered while attempting to find and select usable, compatible frequencies in a multi-channel system. The Artist Elite receivers are simply connected together with included communication link cables. A “Master” receiver then “knows” how many total channels it is looking for. It can scan the available frequencies, checking for local interference sources, selecting a group of channels that will all work together (using a built-in frequency plan), and automatically setting the other linked AEW receivers accordingly. Once this procedure is completed, the transmitter frequencies must be set to match the receiver frequencies.

Receiver Locks

Programmable locks restrict the ability to change receiver settings, reducing the possibility of unauthorized access or unintended changes during performances.

Setting

Description

NO.LOC

Receiver functions and frequency settings can be edited from the receiver’s front panel or from an associated computer via an Ethernet connection to a linked AEW-R5200.

ALL.LOC

Receiver functions and frequency settings

cannot

be edited from the front panel or from a computer via an Ethernet connection to a linked AEW-R5200.

ALL.LOC

must be changed via the receiver’s Menu before other settings can be changed.

PC.LOC

Receiver functions and frequency settings can be edited from the receiver’s front panel, but they

cannot

be edited from an associated computer (via an Ethernet connection to a linked AEW-R5200).

RX.LOC

Receiver functions and frequency settings can be edited from an associated computer (via an Ethernet connection to a linked AEW-R5200), but they

cannot

be edited

from the receiver’s front panel.

When

any

lock condition is applied to a receiver (

ALL

., RX. or PC.),

the LCD window displays a small “

RX LOCK

” just to the right of the frequency. If an action is attempted that currently is locked out, the LCD will briefly display “

LOCKED

”, then return to its

previously displayed contents.

Note: Locks remain in place even when receiver power is turned off. However, locks may be removed by using the Menu.

Antenna Power

This function turns on the 12V AC antenna power for use with powered antennas or accessories.

Digital Tone Lock

™

Squelch

The Artist Elite Series employs a unique digital Tone Lock squelch system that provides enhanced rejection of interference. In addition to providing highly effective control of unwanted noise, the Tone Lock signal from the transmitter also conveys data with the transmitter’s name (Tx Name), battery condition, mute status and lock status back to the receiver for display. In addition to displaying in the receiver’s LCD window, the data are also displayed on an Ethernetconnected computer.

The squelch level is adjustable in fifteen 2-dB steps, providing a 30 dB range. Increasing the squelch level – also called “tightening the squelch” – can cause a reduction in usable range of the wireless transmitter, so use the lowest value that reliably mutes the unwanted RF signals. (If interference is a problem, first consider trying a different frequency, either manually or by scanning.)

Note: While the receiver is in Edit mode, no action (no buttons pressed) for approximately 30 seconds causes the receiver to revert to Menu mode.

While the receiver is in Menu mode, no action for approximately 30 seconds causes the receiver to revert to normal operating mode. Any setting changes stored will remain in the “NAME?” memory location, and the receiver will display “NAME?” because the settings were not saved to a user preset. This will occur even if a user preset was previously loaded.

Receiver Controls and Functions

(Continued)

Meter Hold

When activated (“

METER HOLD

”), this function permits the bar

meters in the LCD window to capture and display the

highest

level “

” audio modulation (a solid bar) and the

lowest

-level

“

” signal (a flashing bar) received from the transmitter. This is particularly useful when setting up the system initially, performing a sound-check, or diagnosing operating problems. The default setting is Off (“

METER NORMAL

”).

When the Meter Hold is On, it is possible to reset it – to obtain a new set of RF and AF readings – without turning it off-and-on using the Menu/Edit functions. Simply press the transmitter’s Power/Mute button once (to mute the transmitter) and

wait

until the receiver’s Alert light comes on

, indicating the Mute condition. Then press the transmitter’s Power/Mute button once again, to un-mute the transmitter.

After the Alert light goes out

, a new set of min/max RF/AF readings will be indicated on the bar meters. (Note that, depending upon the digital updating-and-confirming sequence of the Mute condition data from the transmitter, it can take from a few to many seconds for the Alert light condition to change.

The Meter Hold readings are not reset until the Alert light has turned on, then off.

)

Note: Any or all of these receiver functions may be stored to, or loaded from, one of the five user presets.

Using "PRESET" Store and Recall

There are two aspects to Preset operation:

Storing

a particular

collection of settings for future use (“

STORE

”), and

recalling

stored collection of settings (“

LOAD

”). All Artist Elite receivers and transmitters permit the storing and recalling of up to five userdefined Preset combinations—with customized names, if desired—plus the recalling of the factory-defined Default (“

DEF

”)

settings.

While the standard Preset names (“

PRSET1

” – “

PRSET5

”) can be used, customized receiver and transmitter identification can simplify system operation, especially in larger systems. For example, a guitar channel’s Rx Name could be “

GUITAR

”, while the transmitters for the performer’s two different guitars could be named “GTR-1” and “GTR-2”.

To store Preset configurations:

Touch

the Mode/Set button once to move to Menu mode.

Touch

the Up arrow twice to move to “

Setting Audio Input Level

AEW-T1000 UniPak:

A 10-position audio input gain setting, selected through the function menu, serves to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB to –6 dB in 2 dB steps. The default value is +6 dB.

AEW-T4100 and AEW-T6100 Dynamic Handhelds:

A 4-position audio input gain setting, selected through the function menu, serves to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB to –6 dB in 6 dB steps. The default value is +6 dB.

AEW-T3300 and AEW-T5400 Condenser Handhelds:

A 3-position audio input gain setting, selected through the function menu, serves to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB, +6 dB and 0 dB. The default value is +6 dB. In addition, a mechanical pad switch on the condenser capsule (inside the screw-on wire mesh grille) can provide another 6 dB of attenuation. For best performance, adjust the input level using the function menu choices, keeping the capsule’s mechanical switch at 0 dB. If more audio attenuation is needed than the menu provides, then set the capsule’s pad switch to –6 dB.

For all transmitters:

Select the highest audio level setting that does not result in over-modulation with the highest audio/ instrument input levels (an AF indication on the receiver no higher than “+3”); watch the receiver’s “

” meter “+6” indication and the Alert light to make certain they are not triggered often by the highest audio levels.

The transmitter’s red LED power indicator, which is on during normal operation, will blink

off

if the peak audio input reaches

Table 3. Handheld Transmitter Functions

Transmitter Setup

Battery Selection and Installation

Each transmitter uses two 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkaline type is recommended. Always replace both batteries.

Make certain the transmitter power is Off before replacing batteries.

UniPak™Transmitter Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment door by sliding the catch down (Figure L). (If no batteries are inside, the door will not spring open by itself.)

Observe correct polarity as marked on the metal contacts on the door

and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline

batteries (Figure M).

3. Close the door, making certain the latch clicks securely in place.

Handheld Transmitter Battery Installation

1. While holding the lower body cover (near the LCD window), grasp the upper part of the transmitter body just

below

the grille and unscrew it at least four complete turns (Figure N); then slide the lower body cover down until it stops (Figure P). Once the cover has been lowered, turn the transmitter over to reveal the battery compartment on the side opposite the LCD window.

Observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery compartment

and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (Figure Q). Insert the first battery and slide it down. Then insert the second battery, bottom first, into the space remaining. Make certain the batteries are fully seated in the battery compartment.

3. Slide the lower body cover back up the body, then screw the housing together.

Do not overtighten.

Note: Remove batteries from the handheld transmitter starting at the

bottom

(– end) of the top battery (Figure Q). The top (+ end) of the top battery is captured in a recess and will not come straight out.

Battery Condition Indicator

After the batteries are installed, turn the power on by

pressing

and holding

the Power/Mute button. The small red power-on LED (see Figure J/K on page 18.) should light and the LCD window should come on. If this does not happen, the batteries are installed incorrectly or they are dead. The transmitter’s “fuel gauge” battery indicator displays a maximum of four bar segments. When the LCD flashes “

LOW.BAT

”, the batteries should be replaced immediately to ensure continued operation. (The receiver also displays the transmitter’s battery condition in the LCD window with bar segments; the Alert indicator and a flashing “

LOW.BAT

” come on to warn of a low-battery

condition.)

Transmitter Setup

(Continued)

UniPak Transmitter Input Connection

Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the audio input jack 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 28). The cable connector latches automatically when inserted into the transmitter jack. To unlatch and remove the connector, simply pull up on the connector’s knurled metal collar.

UniPak Transmitter Antenna

The AEW-T1000 transmitter includes two field-replaceable antennas. A flexible-wire antenna is supplied mounted on the transmitter, while a separate short, helical antenna is supplied with the accessories. Either antenna simply screws into the transmitter’s antenna fitting. Check the installed antenna occasionally to make certain it is snugly attached (only fingertight). The helical antenna is more convenient physically but may not have the operating range of the wire antenna. The wire antenna should hang down, at its full length, from the bottom of the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different transmitter positions on your body or instrument; try the wire antenna; or try repositioning the receiver.

Do not attempt to modify either transmitting

antenna. Replace them only with the same parts

, available from

the Audio-Technica Service Department.

Handheld Transmitter Antenna

The antenna for the handheld mic/transmitter is in the black, nonmetallic section at the bottom of the unit (see Figure K on page

18). For best results, hold the mic/transmitter naturally, around its painted metal case. Holding or otherwise covering the antenna housing may reduce operating range.

UniPak Transmitter Mounting Clip

The UniPak transmitter’s mounting clip may be installed with the case positioned either “up” or “down,” depending upon which is preferred for the particular application. To turn the clip around, spring the ends of the clip out of the two holes on the sides of the transmitter case (see Figure J on page 18) and reinstall it facing in the opposite direction.

System Operation

Artist Elite wireless receivers and transmitters are extremely versatile components with many operating features and functions, some of which are not obvious. As a result, we suggest the following approaches to assure a “comfort level” with any new equipment:

1. Begin using a single receiver/transmitter pair at their Default (“

DEF

”) settings, to become familiar with equipment functions and operation before doing any customizing. (If the Default frequency is not usable in your area, change the frequency to one that is suitable.)

2. Before installing/starting up a large multi-channel system, explore the functions and operation of only two or three receiver/transmitter pairs together.

Basic Operation – Single AEW-R4100 receiver system:

Turn down the AF Level of the mixer or amplifier. Switch on the receiver. Do

not

switch on the transmitter yet.

Turning on the Receiver

The Alert indicator and the LCD window lights up; the normal operation LCD display appears after 1–2 seconds. If any of the bars show in the “

” bar-graph meters, there may be RF interference in the area. If this occurs, select another frequency as explained below. (If the Meter Hold function has been selected, one of the RF bars in each column will be flashing, indicating the lowest RF levels received.)

Selecting/Setting Receiver Frequency

Selection of the desired operating frequency is made through the function menus. There must be no local interference on that frequency. If the Default frequency (lowest in band) happens not to be usable, the receiver frequency may be set manually by using the frequency charts starting on page 29, or by using the IntelliScan function.

• Manual frequency selection:

Adjust the receiver frequency

as detailed in the next section.

• IntelliScan frequency selection:

The receiver’s IntelliScan function may be employed to select a usable operating frequency automatically, as detailed in the section following on page 25.

Note: Once the receiver frequency is set, the associated

transmitter

must be set manually to the receiver’s

exact

frequency. See page 26 for the correct procedure.

Setting Receiver Frequency Manually

Touch

the Mode/Set button once. “FRQ” appears on the first line of the LCD window with the current frequency setting on the second line. (The receiver is now in Menu mode.)

Touch

the Mode/Set button again. The small flashing word “EDIT” appears at the bottom of the window. (The receiver is now in Edit mode.)

3. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to change the frequency.

Touch

either arrow for single steps, or

hold

either arrow for rapid cycling through the band. Frequencies “wrap around” to the other end of the range when the top or bottom of the band is reached. Choose a frequency appropriate for your area, avoiding frequencies with active TV channels. (See the frequency listings from page 29.)

Note: The top line of the LCD indicates when frequencies belong to multi-frequency groups. Asterisks (*) are displayed in front of “FRQ” to indicate membership in one of more of the three groups (Figure R on page 25). See page 34 for frequency group listings.

4. To choose this frequency,

hold

the Mode/Set button until the word “STORED” appears in the receiver’s window. (If you do not wish to complete this selection,

touch

the Mode/Set

button

once

. The word “ESCAPE” appears briefly in the

window, and the receiver returns to Menu mode.)

5. When finished entering a frequency,

touch

the Up arrow

button

once

. The display reads “QUIT.”

There are several ways to quit, depending on whether the current Name is to be retained or the frequency stored to a user preset. See page 14 for help with Quitting and saving changes.

To quickly store the new frequency into the “NAME?” location,

touch

the Mode/Set button. The receiver shows “NAME?” in the top line and the new frequency in the bottom line.

Note: You must now set the transmitter to the exact same frequency for the system to operate!

The details of setting up and operating a multi-channel system vary greatly in complexity, depending upon the number of receivers and nature of the system. Because the feature-rich nature of AEW units can greatly increase this complexity, we suggest starting with a simpler, straightforward setup and use to become familiar with the equipment and its capabilities.

Single AEW-R4100 receiver system:

Begin using a receiver and transmitter at their Default (“

DEF

”) settings, to become familiar with equipment functions and operation before doing any customizing. (If the Default frequency is not usable in your area, manually change only the frequency to one that is suitable, as described on page 25.)

Single AEW-R5200 receiver system (two channels):

Start out using only Channel 1, treating this the same as the single AEW-R4100 above.

Multiple-receiver system with link cables only:

The link cables provide data and control between receivers. The IntelliScan

™

feature scans for clear channels and assigns non-conflicting frequencies to all linked receivers. (If IntelliScan is not used, the receiver frequencies may all be set individually/manually, as with any standard receiver, using the multi-channel information on page 30.)

Multiple-receiver system with Ethernet-connected computer interface:

Refer to the separate AEW Control Interface manual for setup and operation of a computer-based system. Basic hardware aspects of the receivers, and all transmitter setup/operating information, are in the manual you are now reading.

Touch:

A momentary press of the Mode/Set button. It is used to enter Menu mode, to enter Edit mode, or to Escape without making any changes to current settings.

Hold:

System Operation

(Continued)

Note: An asterisk in two or more locations indicates this frequency is in more than one group.

Setting Receiver Frequency Using IntelliScan

Single-receiver systems (either an AEW-R4100 or an AEW-R5200):

Turn down the AF level of the associated mixer or amplifier.

Make certain that any AEW transmitters are turned

off.

(Other RF-

generating devices in the area should be turned

, if

possible.)

Touch

the Mode/Set button once to enter the Menu mode. (On an AEW-R5200, use Channel 1 to perform the IntelliScan for both channels.)

Touch

the Down arrow once. The display shows “SCAN.”

Hold

the Mode/Set button to start the scan. The second line displays “------” during the scan and then briefly displays “SCAN OK” when the scan is successfully completed.

4. The display on the receiver then shows “RESET NAMES.” The receiver remains in this state (system is muted) until one of the following steps is completed:

a. To accept and use this frequency with the currently

loaded/named preset,

touch

the Mode/Set button. The LCD briefly displays “STORED” and reverts to normal operation. At this point, the display shows the receiver name/preset currently loaded. (Note: This frequency is now stored with the associated named preset and is recalled when that preset is reloaded.)

b. To accept and use this frequency and store it in the special

“NAME?” location,

hold

the Mode/Set button. The LCD displays “NAME?” on the top line. (Note: Doing this allows a new frequency to be used without affecting previously stored preset data. However, the receiver shows “NAME?” instead of the preset’s name.)

To store this frequency along with other settings into one of the user presets, refer to the instructions on page 15.

IMPORTANT! If one of the above steps is not completed, the receiver will remain in the “RESET NAMES” state indefinitely (system is muted), and it will

not

automatically back out to

normal operating mode.

Multiple-receiver systems:

Turn down the AF level of the associated mixer or amplifier. Make certain that any AEW transmitters are turned

off.

(Other RF-

generating devices in the area should be turned

, if

possible.)

1. Make certain all the receivers are connected (daisy-chained) with link cables. The receiver with only a Link In (no Link Out connection) becomes the Master receiver. (See “Link connections” on page 9.)

2. Switch on

all

the slave receivers first; switch on the Master

receiver

last

. Alternatively, all receivers can be turned on

simultaneously

, as when using AC power plug strips controlled by a single AC switch. (If an AC power or link connection is interrupted, even briefly,

all

receivers must be turned off and the power-up sequence repeated to assure complete system control.)

3. Using controls on the Master receiver, follow all the steps listed for single-receiver systems to assign compatible frequencies for all receivers by using IntelliScan.

4. The display on the Master shows “RESET NAMES”, and the display on each slave shows “SCAN” and the new frequency. The receivers remain in this state (system is muted) until one of the following steps is completed to accept the new frequency plan:

a. To accept and use this frequency plan with the currently

loaded/named presets,

touch

the Mode/Set button. If a user preset was previously loaded on the receiver, the LCD briefly displays “STORED” and reverts to normal operation. The LCD then displays the previously loaded user preset or receiver name and the new frequency. (Note: This frequency is now stored with the associated named preset and is recalled when that preset is reloaded.) If no user preset was loaded (i.e., the default settings were in effect), the LCD shows “NAME?” and the new frequency.

b. To accept and use this frequency

and

store it in the special

“NAME?” location,

hold

To store this frequency along with other settings into one of the user presets, refer to the instructions on page 15.

Note: These changes affect

all linked receivers.

IMPORTANT! If one of the above steps is not completed, the

Master and all linked slave receivers will remain in the “RESET NAMES” state indefinitely (system is muted) and will

not

automatically back out to normal operating mode.

Note: A “SCAN ERROR” message may be attributable to one or more of the following:

• The link connection was broken somewhere in the chain.

• The power to one or more of the linked receivers was turned off.

• Not enough available frequencies existed for IntelliScan to assign all receivers a frequency.

If IntelliScan cannot locate enough available frequencies, it will set as many as it can on the linked receivers.

System Operation

(Continued)

Turning on the Transmitter

Turn on the transmitter by

holding

the Power/Mute button (see Figure J/K on page 18) for a second or two, until the red power indicator and the LCD window have come on. (When using a handheld transmitter, unscrew and slide down the lower body cover, as shown in Figures N/P on page 22.)

Setting Transmitter Frequency

Touch

the Set button once. The small word “

” appears

above the frequency.

Touch

the Set button again and

the small

flashing

word “

EDIT

” appears to the right of

“

.” (The actual frequency flashes twice, then “

EDIT

”

continues to flash.)

2. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to change the transmitter

frequency.

Touch

either arrow for single steps, or hold down either arrow for rapid cycling through the range. Frequencies “wrap around” when the top or bottom of the band is reached. Select the

exact

frequency displayed on the

receiver.

3. To activate this frequency selection,

hold

the Set button until

the word “

STORED

” appears in the transmitter’s window.

(If you do not wish to complete this selection, just

touch

the

Set button

once

: the word “

ESCAPE

” appears briefly in

the window, and the transmitter returns to the Menu mode.)

4. When finished entering a frequency,

touch

the Up arrow

button

once

to move to “

QUIT.

” Then

touch

the Set button

once

to exit the menu. The word “

” in the transmitter window disappears, indicating the return to normal operation.

5. If desired, assign a standard or custom Preset Name at this time as described on page 20 (To store Preset configurations), so this particular configuration can be recalled in the future. If a new name is not assigned, the transmitter will continue to operate on this frequency (and with these settings) until some other change in settings is made.

When the transmitter is switched on and in normal operation, the receiver’s two “

” signal-level bar meters will display from bottom to top, with more bars indicating increased signal reception. For optimum performance, at least four bars, and preferably five or more bars, on at least one of the RF indicators should be displayed at all times.

Setting Levels

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

Setting Transmitter Audio Input Level

Multiple-position audio input gain settings, selected through the function menu, serve to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation and highest signal-to-noise ratio with minimum distortion.

Select the highest setting that does not result in overmodulation with the highest audio/instrument input levels (an AF indication on the receiver no higher than “+3”); watch the receiver’s “

” bar-graph “+6” indication and the Alert light to make certain that they are not triggered by the highest audio levels.

Also, the transmitter’s red LED power indicator, which is on during normal operation, will blink

off

if the peak audio input

reaches overload level.

Available Level Settings

AEW-T1000 UniPak

™

: Choices are +12 dB to –6 dB in –2 dB

steps. The default setting is +6 dB.

AEW-T4100/6100 Dynamic Handhelds:

Choices are +12 dB, +6

dB, 0 dB and –6 dB. The default setting is +6 dB.

AEW-T3300/5400 Condenser Handhelds:

Choices are +12 dB, +6 dB and 0 dB. The default setting is +6 dB. A mechanical switch on the condenser capsule activates a 6 dB pad. For best performance, adjust the input level using the function menu choices first, keeping the capsule’s pad switch at 0 dB. If more audio attenuation is needed, set the capsule’s switch to –6 dB.

RF Power Adjustment

RF power may be set to “

RF HI

” (35 mW nominal) or “

RF LOW

” (10 mW nominal) through the function menu. The default setting is “

RF LOW.

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

EU Regulations require handheld transmitter operation to be set at "RF Low" 10 mW nominal. In addition, body pack devices when accessing the de-regulated band 863.125-864.875 MHz must also be set to "RF Low" 10 mW nominal.

RF Interference

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 the Audio-Technica professional division. Extensive information on using wireless microphones is also available on the Audio-Technica Web site at www.audio-technica.com.
