Notice for customers in the U.S.A.
Use of Sony wireless devices is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission as described in Part 74 subpart H of the FCC regulations and users authorized thereby are required to obtain an appropriate licence.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Notice for customers in Canada:
Use of Sony wireless devices is regulated by the Industry Canada as described in their Radio Standard Specification RSS-123. A licence is normally required. The local district office of Industry Canada should therefore be contacted. When the operation of the device is within the broadcast band, the licence is issued on no-interference, no-protection basis with respect to broadcast signals.
Avis pour les clients au Canada:
L’usage des appareils sans-fil Sony est réglé par l’Industrie Canada comme décrit dans leur Cahier des Normes Radioélectriques CNR-123. Une licence est normalement requise. Le bureau de l’Industrie Canada doit être contacté. Lorsque l’opération de l’appareil est dans les limites de la bande de radiodiffusion, la licence est émanée sur la base de non-interférence, non-protection avec les signaux de radiodiffusion.

• The unit is designed for use in ambient temperature range
of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
• Do not place the unit on or near heat sources, such as lighting equipment, power amplifiers, or in a place subject to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. In such places, the external finish or internal parts of the unit may be damaged.
• If the unit is used in a very humid or dusty place or in a place subject to an active gas, clean its surface as well as the connectors with a dry, soft cloth soon after use. Lengthy use of the unit in such places or not cleaning it after its use in such places may shorten its life.
• When cleaning the unit, never use organic solvents such as thinners or benzine, which will damage the finish of the unit.
• The unit has been factory adjusted precisely. Do not tamper with its internal parts or attempt to repair it.
• Do not attempt to recharge an alkaline battery.
• Do not dispose of a battery in fire. Do not disassemble or short-cirtuit a battery.
• Make sure to use an L6 (size-AA) alkaline battery.
• Make sure the poles of the battery match the + and ­markings in the battery holder.
• Remove the battery when the unit will not be used for a long period of time.

Introduction
The WRT-807A is a UHF-synthesized wireless microphone for use in a 800-MHz band UHF-synthesized wireless microphone system.
The WRT-807A operates in conjunction with the WRR­800A/801A/802A/805A, MB-806A UHF Synthesized Tuner for vocal concentration.
The WRT-807A can be also used with existing Sony wireless microphone systems consisting of the WRT-810A/ 820A/822A/830A UHF Synthesized Transmitter and WRR­810A/820A/840A/850A, MB-806A UHF Synthesized Tuner.
The microphone/transmitter and tuners of the wireless microphone system are classified by frequency band. A 12 MHz frequency band (or two consecutive-numbered TV channels, such as 68 and 69 of the U68 model) is assigned to each microphone/transmitter and tuner model. In building up a UHF wireless microphone system, be sure to combine a microphone/transmitter and a tuner having the same TV channel number.
For the selectable wireless channels and frequencies, see “Wireless Channel Lists” on page L-1.
Features
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesized system
The WRT-807A features a refined phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizer circuit.
POWER switch with holding function
The POWER switch can be locked in the ON position to protect against accidental power cut-offs.
Low-battery notification on tuner
When the microphone battery is low, the microphone sends a warning to the WRR-800A/801A/802A/805A/850A, MB­806A in the form of “Battery status information.” This information is sent to the WRR-800A/801A/802A/ 805A/850A, MB-806A about one hour before the battery goes dead to allow the battery to be safely replaced. When the WRR-800A/801A/802A/805A/850A, MB-806A receives this information, the LED and the LCD on tuner panel start to flash.
Powered by readily available battery type
The built-in, high-efficiency DC-DC converter provides about five hours of continuous and stable operation with just a single LR6 (size-AA) alkaline battery.

LCD readout of various information
The microphones LCD shows the current channel number, frequency, input attenuation setting, and residual battery power.
The accumulated battery use time is also indicated (in one­minute increments) to allow precise monitoring of battery use.
Automatic saving of channel and input attenuation settings
All channel and input attenuation settings are automatically saved when the microphone is turned off (and are maintained even when the battery is removed), thus eliminating the need to make the same settings again the next time you use the microphone.
Highly reliable electronic attenuator
Adjustable in a range of 0 dB to 21 dB in 3-dB steps, the built-in input level attenuator reduces signal distortion during the input of excessively strong audio signals.
Tone signal-incorporated RF carrier signal
The microphone transmits an RF carrier signal that incorporates a tone signal to enable any tuner with a tone squelch circuit to pick out only the target audio signal.
Wide dynamic range and low noise
The microphones compander (compressor/expander) system enables transmission over a wide dynamic range with minimum noise.
Notes on operation
• When operating two or more microphones, keep the microphones separated from each other by a distance of at least 30 cm (1 foot.).
• Keep microphones at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the receiving antenna.
