AWS-2000
Thank you for choosing Senal.
The Senal AWS-2000 is a versatile, lightweight, yet rugged wireless system that is ideal for a wide variety of professional uses such as ENG, interviews, conferences, lectures, and live theater production. The included AWS-2000T beltpack transmitter, AWS-2000R camera mount receiver, and optional AWS-2000P plug-on transmitter have an operating range of up to 500 feet. Each component is packed with features that will enable videographers and directors to capture broadcast-quality audio. The intuitive design and an uncomplicated menu structure make the AWS-2000 system easy to set up and effortless to use.
The portable receiver features a one-touch frequency scan and infrared sync that allows you to effortlessly find a clear channel for your devices. This true-diversity receiver uses dual antennas and reception circuits that eliminate audio dropouts and RF interference. To further protect audio from unwanted interference, the AWS-2000 system includes 3-level squelch and pilot tone. Other features such as selectable mic/line input and variable RF power output give this wireless system the ability to deliver clean, accurate, and pristine audio.
Each component is powered by two AA batteries. An integrated Micro-USB port can be used to charge NiMH batteries without removing them from the battery compartments. Advanced OLED display technology provides easy-to-see screens, even in dim lighting conditions. Top display orientation assures that the displays are easy to read regardless of where they’re mounted or carried. Removable antennas make this wireless system compact and easy to transport, and allows you to easily change an antenna if it’s damaged. Rugged metal housing on each component makes the AWS-2000 system ideal for travel or location use and able to withstand the rigors of the most demanding environments.
