System Features
• Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless operation
Delivers clear, intelligible audio without the performance and
set-up issues associated with conventional RF wireless
microphone systems.
• Easy to set up and operate
Designed for quick, intuitive setup and user-friendly operation.
• Interference-free performance
Very few RF devices are approved to operate in the frequencies
where the SpectraPulse™UWB wireless microphone system operates.
• No problems in crowded RF environments
Bypasses the increasingly congested UHF, VHF and 2.4GHz
frequency bands; ideal for use in areas with high RF congestion.
• No frequency hunting or coordination
14 simultaneous channels operate with no frequency coordination
required. Channel selection is quick and easy.
• Immunity to multipath interference
Offers extremely reliable performance; no dropouts or sputters.
• Inherent security
UWB data is transmitted in extremely short-duration pulses sent
in a timed sequence over a wide frequency spectrum. To decode
the pulses, the Digital Receiver Module must know exactly
when, where and how to listen. This makes SpectraPulse
inherently secure.
• Encryption available
Optional encryption package meets NIST-approved AES 128-bit
encryption standard developed by the U.S. government for
securing sensitive material.
™
• Contact closure input/output (on Audio Control Interface)
Provides control interface with external devices.

7 channels in 1 rack space, 14 channels in 2 rack spaces.
• Optional rechargeable batteries and charging/encryption
station
Extended mAH rechargeable AA NiMH batteries (preferred for
best battery life performance) are included with optional
cei007Charging/Encryption Interface.
• Excellent audio quality
Digital signal requires no compression; imperceptible latency;
microphone muting is silent.

system. It is our hope that the system will bring you years of trouble-free performance.
Please follow the information contained in this manual closely, as it will assist you in using
your equipment effectively.
drm141 Digital Receiver Module
The drm141 Digital Receiver Module functions as both the UWB receiver and antenna for 14
channels. It consists of three assembly components that can be used for different mounting
requirements: the main assembly, the front bezel, and the plastic rear housing. Note: Do not
disassemble the main assembly. Doing so may void your warranty and possibly void the
authority to operate the unit.
Note: Never plug or unplug the shielded Cat 5 cable to or from the drm141 if the cable is
already connected to the aci707 and the power is on. Make certain aci707 power is off
before connecting or disconnecting the cable.
1. Placement – Locate the drm141 within 300 feet of the aci707. The drm141 Digital Receiver
Module should be mounted to a wall or ceiling or set on a flat surface. Ideal placement is
high, with clear line of sight to all the microphone/transmitter units. Note: The drm141 must
be in the same room as the microphone/transmitters.

2. To flush-mount the drm141 inside a 3-gang, 2-1/2" deep electrical box, see Mounting to a
3-gang electrical box, page 9.)
3. For more portable or surface applications, the unit is shipped assembled in the plastic rear
housing, which provides key-hole slots on the back for mounting on a wall; or the unit may
be placed on a flat surface. (See Mounting in the supplied plastic rear housing, page 9.)
4. Connect the shielded Cat 5 cable (supplied) to the RJ45 connector on the rear of the drm141.
The other end of this Cat 5 cable will be connected to the “Link In” RJ45 connector on the
rear of the aci707 Audio Control Interface (with aci707 power off). (See Link-Out and Link-In
RJ45 Connectors on page 11.) Note: A 25' shielded Cat 5 cable is supplied with the
system; you may supply your own shielded Cat 5 cable for lengths up to 300'. If you
use your own CAT 5 cable, attach the provided ferrite bead to the cable as close to the
drm141 as feasible. Do not plug cable from the aci707 into an Ethernet port.
aci707 Audio Control Interface
The SpectraPulse™aci707 Audio Control Interface provides the connection point to the audio
system, and a control platform to set the system functions. It also provides control interface
points (contact closures) for interface to external equipment. These closures can be used to
activate lights, control cameras, etc.
1. Placement – Locate the aci707 Audio Control Interface within 300 feet of the drm141 Digital
Receiver Module. Note: The aci707 does not have to be in the same room as the drm141.
2. Plug the aci707 Audio Control Interface into the AC power source. (See Power cord, page 11.)
Note: Make certain you do not turn on the power until after all the system connections
are made.
3. With the power off, connect the shielded Cat 5 cable exiting the drm141 to the “Link In”
RJ45 input connector on the rear of the aci707. Note: Do not plug RJ45 connector or Cat
5 cable into the aci707 with the power on. Do not plug cable from the aci707 into an
Ethernet port. (See Link-Out and Link-In RJ45 Connectors on page 11.)
If a second aci707 is used, connect the included 8" shielded Cat 5 cable from the Link-Out
on the first aci707 to the Link-In in the second aci707.
