1.2 Setting up
1. Place the MCW-D 100 control unit in the same room as the transmitters.
2. Do not place the MCW-D 100 control unit near digitally controlled equipment.
3. Connect the receiving antennae to the antenna inputs A and B (5) using the appropriate adapter. For stand-alone-operation we
recommend using the CA 2411 angled rod antenna and the CA 2444 N(HF) Male - SMA Female adapter.
4. Connect the transmitting antenna to the antenna output (12). For stand-alone-operation we recommend using the CA 2411
angled rod antenna and the CA 2444 N(HF) Male - SMA Female adapter.
5. There must be an unobstructed path between the microphone units and the antennae. The range is around 50 m. For
optimum range the surface of the table is important, wood or plastic tables are ideal, but metal tables can cause interferences
and reduce the range.
6. Connect the XLR (10) or RCA (14) master output to the input of a mixing console/amplifier.
7. Connect the MCW-D 100 control unit to the mains (7). The internal power supply unit of the control unit can adjust automatically
between 110 V and 240 V.
8. Switch on the MCW-D 100 with the On/Off-switch (8) on the rear. The Power LED (1) on the front will illuminate green.
9. Depending on the configuration of the MCW-D 100 control unit 5 or more channel-LEDs will illuminate green (standard: 5 channels).
10. When mounting the MCW-D 100 control unit into a 19"-rack housing leave 1 HU for a ventilation panel.
Note
• If the system should fail to operate, i.e. the microphone unit is switched on but no sound is heard, press the reset button (3).
Should the system still fail to operate, please contact your beyerdynamic representative.
• If you press the standby button (2) for more than 3 seconds, you switch off all switched-on MCW-D microphone units within the range
of the MCW-D 100 control unit.

tion and device-operating configuration must be satisfied. Only authorized and certified beyerdynamic systems
integrators may perform the installation of the antennas. There are no user serviceable parts or processes.
Connect the receiving antennae to the antenna inputs (5) A and B. Connect the transmitting antenna to the
antenna output (12). To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its
antenna must maintain a separation distance of least 20 centimeters from all persons.

Function button
Depending on the configuration the following functions are possible with
this button (10): mute, clear or priority. The function button can be configured
with a programming device connected to the chairman microphone unit or
remotely with the control unit. The MCW-D editor software can be used to
configure the button.
1. Mute
All delegate microphone units which were activated before, will be
muted when the chairman is speaking and will be re-activated when the
chairman switches off his microphone.
2. Clear
All delegate microphone units are cleared and cannot switch on their
microphone as long as the chairman is speaking.
3. Priority
All delegate microphone units will be cleared and the microphone of the
chairman unit will be switched on. The delegates can switch on their
microphones again.
4. Function
A command is sent via the RS 232 serial interface from the MCW-D 100
control unit and a programmed function is carried out via a media control system for instance (e.g. light control).
For the functions 1. - 3. there is also a command sent via the RS 232
serial interface from the MCW-D 100 control unit.

2.2 Setting up
The microphone units have no separate on/off switch. They are switched on and off with the microphone button. By pressing
the button briefly, the microphone unit is switched on. The LED (7) flashes for a moment and the LED (2) on the rear is illuminated. By
pressing the button for more than 2 seconds the microphone unit is switched off and the LED (7) will illuminate twice red/green
briefly. Using the controller software (standby button) the microphone unit can be switched off via the control unit. Furthermore, the
microphone units are switched off automatically, when they do not receive a data signal from the control unit for more than one
minute.
Important:
If the microphone unit is out of range of the MCW-D 100 control unit the LED (7) will flash red. After one minute the microphone unit
will switch off automatically.
Switching on
Switch on the microphone unit by pressing the microphone button briefly. The green operating control LED (2) on the rear will
illuminate.
The microphone units have an integrated rechargeable battery allowing an operating time of at least 10 hours in conference mode.
As soon as the capacity is too low for satisfactory operation, the operating control LED (2) will flash. The remaining time of
operation is around 30 minutes. The decreasing battery voltage is also signaled by the MCW-D 100 control unit at the RS 232 socket
and can be evaluated by an external media control system.
Manual Mode
Press the microphone button (8) to switch the gooseneck microphone on or off.
The LED (7) is illuminated green: The integrated transmitter is adjusted to a free frequency and switched on.
Red ring of the gooseneck
microphone is illuminated: The microphone is ready for talking.
Using the standard version of the MCW-D 100 control unit 3 delegates and 1 chairman can speak simultaneously. Using
additional PCBs inside the MCW-D 100 up to 6 delegates and 1 chairman can speak simultaneously.
Important:
If the number of open microphones is reached, a microphone can only be switched on manually when another
microphone unit has been switched off.
Request-To-Talk Mode
The mode is only possible in conjunction with a PC using the MCW-D Controller software or media control system (AMX/Panja®,
Crestron®etc.). The request-to-talk is registered in the system by pressing the microphone button of the microphone unit. The allocation is made by the operator at the PC or touchscreen of the media control system. The LED (7) is illuminated to indicate the requestto-talk. If you press the microphone button again the request-to-talk is cleared. The LED (7) goes out.
2.3 Auto-Off-Function
The delegate microphone units have a power saving auto-off function, i.e. if no-one speaks into the microphone for more than
20 seconds, the microphone unit switches off automatically. The auto-off-function has been deactivated at the factory. The response
threshold and the time after which the microphone switches off can be adjusted with a programming device or PC using the Editor
software. The illuminated ring of the gooseneck microphone will flash 5 seconds before the microphone unit is switched off.
2.4 Addressing the Microphone Units / Serial Number
At the factory each microphone unit is programmed with a different identity number so that the MCW-D 100 control unit can
control them individually. This number is printed on the bottom.
When you subsequently order more microphone units later, please inform the supplier of your current identitiy numbers to avoid
duplication.
