Architect’s and Engineer’s Specications
The frequency-agile FM wireless receiver shall be part of a wireless
microphone system operating in the bands of 482.000–507.000 MHz,
541.500–566.375 MHz , or 655.500–680.375 MHz. It shall be capable of
operating on any of 996-1001 PLL-synthesized frequencies per band. The
all-metal receiver shall provide an automatic scanning function to select
appropriate local usable channels for proper wireless system operation.
All conguration functions of the receiver shall be controlled by soft-touch
controls on the receiver front panel. It shall be a True Diversity receiver
with two independent internal receiver sections, automatically selecting
the highest quality signal for the receiver’s output. The system will be
equipped with an advanced Tone Lock™ digital identication system to
ensure that only the desired wireless microphone transmitter allows the
receiver to be un-muted. The receiver shall have an alert LED on the front
panel that indicates transmitter low battery warning, signal loss and input
overload. The receiver shall continuously monitor and display the battery
life indicator of the wireless transmitter, the RF signal strength and the
diversity selection of internal dual tuner sections (A&B). The receiver shall
have a rear panel selector to lift the ground connection from pin 1 of the
XLR-type output connector to prevent ground loops. The receiver shall be
able to be powered by 120V AC 60 Hz or 12–18V DC at 500 mA.
Antennas shall be located on the rear of the receiver and shall incorporate standard BNC-type connectors to allow them to be detached from
the receiver to facilitate the receiver being used with external antennas
or antenna distribution devices. Switchable 12V DC power shall be
provided on the BNC-type connectors. An accessory bracket should allow
for the antennas to be located at the front of the receiver. The receiver
can be rack-mounted singly or in pairs in a single rack space. The
receiver’s design shall provide totally silent audio output mute when the
wireless transmitter is turned off or signal is lost. The wireless receiver
and the supplied metal rack-mounting brackets shall be industrial black.
The FM wireless receiver shall be an Audio-Technica ATW-R3100b or
equivalent.

Description
The ATW-R3100b frequency-agile true diversity UHF wireless receiver
sets a new standard for audio and RF performance. With a large
operating range and superb noise specications, the 3000 Series
provides the audio quality and reliability necessary for the high quality
sound systems of today.
Automatic frequency scanning eliminates the need for searching for clear
channels and automatically selects the most appropriate frequency for
the area in which the wireless is operating. 25 kHz frequency spacing
enables the system to easily nd an open frequency in crowded RF
environments, while nine pre-coordinated frequency scan groups simplify
selection of usable frequencies in a multi-channel wireless system. The
exibility in programming both the receiver and transmitter allows the
customizing ability for this wireless system to meet virtually any
application. Features not often found in other receivers include high-pass
lter, meter hold function, adjustable squelch, selectable power/mute on
transmitters, lock functions for operational safety, and control of input
sensitivity.
Designed to operate from AC or 12–18V DC, the receiver incorporates
rear-panel connections for balanced XLR and unbalanced
