System 10 Stompbox Installation and Operation
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE SCREWS. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing by Audio-Technica may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
RF Exposure Statement: This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. No userserviceable 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 federal regulations. 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.

This wireless microphone system is the successful result of years of design and manufacturing experience.
Audio-Technica’s System 10 Stompbox is a digital wireless system designed to provide rock-solid performance along with easy setup and clear, natural sound quality. Operating in the 2.4 GHz range, far from TV and DTV interference, System 10 Stompbox offers a small, portable receiver with foot switch, two switched TRS balanced ¼" outputs and an output mode selector. The receiver can be paired with up to eight

UniPak
body-pack transmitters, allowing musicians to easily switch
instruments.
System 10 wireless ensures clear communications by providing three levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space. Frequency Diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies for interference-free communication. Time Diversity sends the signal in multiple time slots to maximize immunity to multipath interference. Finally, Space Diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and receiver to maximize signal integrity.

System 10 Stompbox Installation and Operation

Each System 10 Stompbox professional digital wireless system includes an ATW-R1500 Stompbox receiver, an ATW-T1001EX

UniPakbody-pack transmitter with an AT-GcW guitar cable, and hook & loop strips for adding receiver to an effects pedal board. All A-T
Wireless Essentials
®
microphones and cables, available separately, are pre-terminated for use with any ATW-T1001EX transmitters.
Note:
ATW-T1001EX transmitters from earlier System 10 models may not be compatible with the multi-transmitter pairing and battery level indicator functions of the System 10 Stompbox receiver. However, these older transmitter models may be shipped to the Audio-Technica Service Department for firmware updates.
The ATW-R1500 receiver includes a switching power supply that automatically adapts to changes in mains voltage.
The versatile ATW-T1001EX UniPak body-pack transmitter has both

a high-impedance input for instruments, and a low-impedance input with bias connection for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones.
The transmitter uses internal AA batteries and has a Power/Mute switch and input Trim (level) adjustment.
Receiver Installation
Location
For best operation, the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to minimize reflections. Keep the receiver away from noise sources such as other digital equipment, microwave ovens, as well as away from large metal objects. Keep System 10 Stompbox receiver 30' (9 m) away from wireless access points. Operating transmitters should be kept at least 3' (1 m) from receiver, but will continue to work up to 60' (18 m) from receiver line of sight.
Output Connection
There are two switched TRS balanced ¼" output jacks on the side panel. Either output can be connected to a guitar amp, a tuner or an effects pedal.
Power Connection
Connect the DC plug on the included AC power adapter to the DC power input on the back of the receiver. Then plug the adapter into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz or 230 Volt 50 Hz (depending on global location) AC power outlet. The receiver may also be used in conjunction with an effects pedal board with a common power supply, but each output must be “isolated” in order to prevent noise interference.
(Note that the receiver has no power Off/On switch. The receiver will be energized whenever the power adapter is connected and plugged into the AC outlet. Unplug the power supply from the AC outlet when the system is not in use — both for safety, and to conserve energy.)
