WARNING: Changes or modififications 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.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment
and meets the FCC radio frequency(RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of
RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But
it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more
away from person’s body.

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux fréquences
radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une énergie RF très faible qui
est considérée conforme sans évaluation de l ’exposition maximale autorisée. Cependant,
il est souhaitable qu'il devrait être installé et utilisé en gardant une distance de 20 cm ou

i

,

plus entre le dispositif rayonnant et le corps.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

rence

commun

ns.

ere

no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

e u

encou

co

ne or

more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

onn

to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numerique de la classe B est conforme a la norme
NMB-003 du Canada.

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.

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 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.

Each System 10 Stompbox professional digital wireless system
includes an ATW-R1500 Stompbox receiver, an ATW-T1001 UniPak
body-pack transmitter with an AT-GcW guitar cable, and Velcro
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-T1001 transmitters.

Note: ATW-T1001 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-T1001 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 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.
