PREFACE

FEATURES

The ENG Wireless Transmitter WX-RP410 is designed to

be used with the ENG Wireless Receiver WX-RP700.
Reliable, time proven, LSI technology makes it possible to

achieve the compact size and low weight that enhances

mobility.
A PLL synthesizer system provides stable transmission
throughout the production area, and, an on board
compander system helps to maintain the systems
outstanding 100 dB dynamic range.

The freedom of movement and performance of wired
microphone is now achieved by the simple operation
of the new PLL wireless transmitter.
The PLL synthesized Oscillator makes it simple
to change the operating frequency to insure
interference - free operation anywhere.

The compander technique yields a dynamic range in
excess of 100 dB.
The space diversity reception is least susceptible
to multipath reflection dropouts.

The Battery charge condition is indicated by the
Battery Status Indicator.

Superb audio quality.
Possible to cover the 49 usable channels solely by
this model.
It goes anywhere with the "Miniature Condenser
Microphones for Wireless Transmitter" or your
choice of wired microphones.

The built-in Audio Input Level Trim and Audio Peak
Level Indicator make input level control of easy.

A maximum of 6 channels can be used in the same

- 1 '

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not expose the transmitter to water or moisture.

• Do not operate the transmitter if it becomes wet.
Do take immediate action if the transmitter does
become wet. Turn power off and consult with
qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage
the transmitter and also create the danger of
electric shock.

• Do not use the transmitter beyond its temperature,
humidity or power source ratings.

(a) Ambient temperature range must not exceed

32°F - 122°F(0“C - +50®C).

{b) Avoid using the transmitter when humidity is

above 90’/..

• For cleaning the body case, wipe with dry cloth. If
necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not
use chemicals such as benzine, alcohol or thinner
for cleaning.

•

• If intermittent audio occurs during operation, turn
off the power and consult with qualified service
personnel.

• Do not subject the microphone to shock,

• Try to place the antenna in a high position for best
reception.

• Do not use this transmitter in places affected by the
motor, transformer or automobile ignition noise.

• Do place the transmitter at least 2m apart from the
receiver when more than one transmitter is used on
different frequencies to minimise interference.

• Before turning the transmitter off, turn down the
faders of the mixer any other equipment which is
connected to the Receiver Output of the receiver.
Otherwise noise will be generated by the power
on/off action of the transmitter.

• Use 1 transmitter for 1 receiver.

SUGGESTIONS

Microphone position

• Attach the microphone unit to your necktie or lapel
using the clip provided, preferably close to your
mouth to obtain better tone quality.

• Speaking loudly into the microphone may cause
distortion.

Refer to the Adjustment of the Audio Input Level

Trim.

Feedback (Howling)

If this unit is used in a small room with the loud-speaker,
and is close to the speaker, feedback may occur.

To eliminate the feedback, turn down the volume
control of your loud-speaker or change the position
of the microphone.

Factors such as speaker position and room
structure affect feedback. Feedback is most likely

to occur when the microphone directly faces the
speaker. So it is advisable to position speaker
accordingly.

Handling the transmitter

During operation, wear this unit on your body.
Do not place any metallic objects in the same pocket as
this can weaken signal strength and cause noise.

When not using, be sure to set the power switch to
"OFF". If this unit is not to be used for a long time,
remove the battery from this unit.

Noise-free sound

This unit will typically transmit over a range of
approximately 260 ft (78 meters). Should noise occur,
observe the following points.

• The distance between the transmitter and the
receiver should be as short as possible.

• The receiver should be as far as possible from cars
and any other devices which generate electrical
noise, such as fluorescent lights and electric
motors.

Use of two microphones

When using two wireless microphones, each must be
of a different transmission frequency. Do not use 2
microphones of the same frequency simultaneously

Outdoor operation

A wind screen is provided.
