Description
System 10 PRO Rack-Mount brings new versatility to the System 10
family of 2.4 GHz digital wireless products. With remote-mountable
receiver units and the simultaneous use of up to 10 channels, System 10
PRO combines innovation with rock-solid performance, easy setup and
clear, natural sound quality.
The ATW-RC13 half-rack receiver chassis features two receiver unit docks,
each designed to house an ATW-RU13 receiver unit. Two RJ45 connectors
on the rear of the chassis allow each receiver unit to be released from the
chassis and mounted up to 100 m (328 ft.) away via standard UTP cable.
The chassis is also equipped with IN/OUT RJ12 connectors that can be
used to link the chassis to another chassis (up to ve chassis – 10 receiver
units – can be linked together) allowing for simultaneous use of all receivers
and increased stability of a multichannel system. The front of the chassis
is equipped with a System ID Display that indicates the RF signal strength,
System ID number and battery level for the transmitter currently engaged
with each receiver unit. The display also shows if the chassis is currently
linked to another chassis. Additionally, the chassis features an AF level
control, ground lift switch, unbalanced ¼" output connection and balanced
XLRM-type output connection for each receiver unit.
The ATW-RU13 receiver unit features two detachable antennas that screw
onto the face of the unit via SMA connectors. The rear of the unit is equipped
with a ¼"-20 thread socket for mounting the receiver unit remotely to a tripod
or other device with a ¼" screw. An RJ45 connector, also on the rear of the
unit, allows a remotely mounted receiver unit to be connected to the chassis
with UTP cable. An LED status indicator, located between the mounting
wireless systems
socket and the RJ45 connector, blinks slowly when the receiver unit is
not paired with a transmitter, blinks quickly during the pairing process, and
illuminates solidly green once the receiver unit is paired with a transmitter. An
AT8690 RU13 Holder is supplied for each receiver unit, providing a convenient
means to mount the unit remotely.

batteries and features a sliding battery compartment cover that also protects
the internal controls from being accidently activated. The transmitter is
equipped with a recessed 4-pin HRS-type locking input connector that helps
to increase the life of the microphone or guitar cable and a microphone/
instrument level control that provides trim adjustment. The transmitter
supplies DC bias voltage to power condenser microphones. A power/mute
button on the top of the unit allows for the transmitter to be easily muted or
turned on and off. A pairing switch in the battery compartment works to pair
the transmitter with a receiver unit. The transmitter also features a dual-color
LED power/battery/mute indicator that glows green when the transmitter is
turned on and the batteries are in good operating condition. The LED ashes
green when batteries are low and turns red when the mute function has
been activated. A System ID display on the front of the transmitter indicates
the transmitter’s System ID number.
The ATW-T1002 handheld transmitter uses a specially designed dynamic
cardioid capsule to maintain sonic consistency with wired counterparts,
while an adjustable trim control helps match the microphone to the audio
source. The ergonomically designed handle unscrews and slides off to
reveal the battery compartment and controls. The power/mute button
is placed at the end of the microphone to maintain a clean, uncluttered
appearance. A rugged steel head case protects the capsule while providing
relief from wind-induced noise. Like the body-pack transmitter, the handheld
transmitter is equipped with a dual-color power/battery/mute indicator, a
System ID display, input level control and a pairing switch, and operates on
two AA batteries.
body-pack transmitter is powered by two AA
