Description

The ATW-T1007 is a digital wireless microphone desk stand for use with a phantom-powered, condenser gooseneck microphone with an XLRMtype output connector. The desk stand is designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, conferencing, distance learning and other demanding sound pickup applications.

The desk stand features a touch-sensitive user switch and two red/green LED status indicators—one integrated into the user switch on the front of the unit (LED 1), the other congured to display on both the top and rear of the unit (LED 2), allowing the transmitter status to be viewed by those seated opposite the user. The user switch mutes and unmutes the transmitter. It can be set to toggle between live and muted audio (toggle on/off), to permit live audio only while the switch is pressed (press to talk), or to mute the audio while the switch is pressed (press to mute).

A power button is located on the bottom of the unit, along with four recessed control buttons and a System ID Display. The recessed buttons allow user to pair the transmitter with a System 10 receiver, switch between Standard and Conference modes, lock and unlock the mute function, and congure the gain and low-cut lter. The System ID Display shows the System ID number, mode (Standard or Conference) and mute lock status.

The integral 80 Hz low-cut lter provides easy switching from a at frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as trafc, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations.

The transmitter operates in two different modes: Standard and Conference. In Standard mode, which is the default, both of the transmitter’s LEDs will illuminate green when the transmitter is on and will illuminate red when the transmitter is muted. In Conference mode, both LEDs will illuminate red when the transmitter is on and will not illuminate at all when the transmitter is muted. In both modes, when the transmitter power is off and the charging cable is plugged into the transmitter, LED 1 will not illuminate, and LED 2 will illuminate red while the battery is charging and illuminate green once the battery is fully charged. (See LED Function chart below for complete LED lighting scheme.)

The transmitter can be switched between Standard and Conference modes by pressing and holding the recessed Switch Function button and, while continuing to hold it, pressing and holding the Power button. After a few seconds, the mode will change and the System ID Display will briey show an “A” for Standard mode or a “C” for Conference mode.

The transmitter’s mute function can be locked and unlocked by pressing the Pair and Power buttons on a transmitter that has been turned off. When locked, a dot that normally appears on the System ID Display will not appear and the LED below the Switch Function button will not be lit.

The settings for the user switch, low-cut lter and input gain level, can all be adjusted by pressing the appropriate recessed button on the bottom of the transmitter.

The user switch has three settings that can be chosen by pressing the recessed Switch Function button. The default setting is TOGGLE ON/OFF (with audio on at power up). Pressing the Switch Function button once selects MOM. ON (momentary on), wherein the audio will be on only while the user switch is being pressed (press to talk). Pressing the button a second time selects MOM. OFF (momentary off), wherein the audio will be muted while the user switch is being pressed (press to mute). Pressing the button a third time cycles the setting back to the default. The LED below the Switch Function button illuminates green for TOGGLE, orange for MOM. ON and red for MOM. OFF.

There are three input gain levels that can be selected: -6 dB (for loudest voices), 0 dB and +6 dB (for softest voices). The default setting is 0 dB. Pressing the recessed Gain button on the bottom of the transmitter adjusts the gain level. Pressing the button once changes the level from 0 dB to +6 dB, pressing it again changes the level to -6 dB and pressing it a third time returns the level to 0 dB. The LED below the Gain button illuminates green for -6 dB, orange for 0 dB and red for +6 dB.

The low-cut lter can be turned on and off by pressing the recessed Low Cut button on the bottom of the transmitter. The lter is off by default. The LED below the Low Cut button illuminates red when the lter is off, green when it is on.

ATW-T1007

All LEDs on the bottom of the transmitter will turn off seven seconds after the last button is pressed. Pressing any button will cause the LEDs to relight.

The settings can be restored to the factory default by pushing and holding the Low Cut button and, while holding it, pushing and holding the Power button. The three LEDs on the bottom of the transmitter will rapidly blink green for two seconds and then illuminate according to default settings once the defaults have been restored.

Note: All settings will be restored except for the System ID number. This

number and pairing with the receiver will be retained.

Avoid leaving the transmitter in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.

Note: Placing any object on a surface (such as a conference table) before

its nish is fully cured may result in damage to the nish.
