WIRELESS WIRELESS NOTE
FCC STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation
Notice : The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change to the
antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna or the device could result in the device
exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void user’s authority to operate the device.
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Scan16 Professional Wireless Microphone System. This PLL
synthesized wireless microphone system operates in an FCC approved UHF band frequency
with 16 selectable channels. Please read this instruction manual carefully before operating the
system. This manual covers the function and operation of the wireless microphone system.
2. Safety
Do not spill liquid on the appliance and do not drop it on a hard concrete floor.
Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as radiators, amplifier, or etc.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight, extremely dust, excessive moisture, or vibration.
Take out the battery from transmitter, if the transmitter will not be used for a long period of
time. This will avoid the damage resulting from a defective leaking battery.
3. Environment
Do not throw used batteries into a fire or garbage bin with domestic rubbish. Be sure to
dispose of used batteries in accordance with local waste disposal rules.
When disposing the equipment, remove the batteries, separate the case, circuit boards, and
cables, and dispose of all components in accordance with local waste disposal rules. But
really, we know you will not throw this away, we just are required to include a statement on
the environment.
4. Wireless Notes
Before setting up, make sure that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same
frequency.
Do not use two transmitters tuned to the same frequency.
Use good quality batteries to avoid the damage resulting from a defective leaking battery.
Turn the MIC/LINE switch on the rear of receiver to adjust receiver output level to match
input level requirements of an audio mixer or amplifier.
While checking sound, move the transmitter around the area where you use the system to
look for dead spots. If you find any dead spots, change the receiver position. If it does not
work, avoid such places.
To avoid interference, do not put the receiver too near metal object and avoid obstructions
between transmitter and receiver.
Avoid the interference from TV, radio, other wireless appliances and etc.

QUICK START WIRELESS
5. Quick Start Guide
1. Insert fully charged batteries into the transmitter. Your Ansr Audio transmitter will
operate on either rechargeable or alkaline batteries.
2. Make audio output and power connections as described in Section 7.
3. If connecting to a mixer MIC input, set the AW-25 volume to the one o'clock position. If
connecting to a mixer LINE input, set the AW-25 volume to MAX position. Be sure to
keep the mixer output turned down until ready to test.
4. Turn on AW-25 receiver by pressing the POWER button for 4 seconds
5. Select operating channel:
Auto scan selection: Press SET/SCAN for 3 seconds to search for the next
interference-free channel. Channel display will stop flashing when channel is locked in.
Manual selection: Press SET/SCAN for 1 second, channel display will flash. Press the
up/down arrows to select channel. Press SET/SCAN quickly to lock channel in.
6. Turn on your AW-1 handheld or AW-6 bodypack transmitter and select the matching
channel. See Section 6 for details.
7. After selecting the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency, the RF meter on the
AW-25 front panel will display signal strength. For this, more is better.
8. Slowly raise your mixer volume to test.
9. If setting up additional systems, leave the first transmitter on when using Auto Scan
selection – this way, the second receive r will 'see' the first transmitter and avoid that
channel. Follow similarly if setting up additional systems.

frequency.
Check whether the hi-fi appliance is switched on and the
receiver output is connected to audio mixer or amplifier input.
Check whether transmitter is too far away from receiver or
SQUELCH control set too high.
Check whether receiver is located too near metal object or
there are obstructions between transmitter and receiver.
Sound interference Check the antenna location.
When using 2 or above microphone sets simultaneously, make
sure that the chosen frequencies are not interfered.
Check whether the interference comes from other wireless
microphones, TV, radio and etc.
Distortion Check the receiver volume level is set too high or too low.

WIRELESS MICROPHONES
The Ansr Audio AW-6 bodypack transmitter will accept any properly wired Ansr Audio or
Special Projects microphone. A wide variety of headworn and lavalier microphones are
available from your Ansr Audio / Special Projects dealer.
AM-17 / AM-17T The ultimate in headworn wireless. Unlike other single ear head worn
microphones which tend to have difficulty staying in place, the AM-17 incorporates a soft
moldable plastic earpiece which is flexible and can be formed to fit every ear. The superior
design of the AM-17 has the boom coming over the ear as compared to other mics in which
the boom comes under the ear and lays against the cheek bone. This improved design
provides a counterbalance which keeps the mic in place better than other single ear model.
Even wearing eyeglasses or during rigorous movement this mic stays firmly in place. For fit,
comfort, price, and quality of sound the AM-17 is the best single ear microphone on the
market today. Available in tan or black.
AM-14 / AM-14T Incorporating a 'behind the head' double ear design, the AM-14 features a
flexible 'gooseneck' boom for perfect positioning. Lightweight and unobtrusive, the AM-14
offers a precision omnidirectional element for a pure, natural sound. Available in tan or
black.
AM-15 Built on the same 'behind the head' double ear frame as the AM-14, the AM-15
offers a super-cardioid element for applications where isolation is vital. A wide, flat
frequency response and excellent feedback resistance make the AM-15 a favorite for live
sound and stage use. Available in black only.
SP-H2O This comfortable heavy duty headworn is the industry standard in waterproof /
sweatproof microphones. The noise-canceling element provides excellent sound while
resisting feedback. A favorite of fitness professionals, the SP-H2O features a unique
replaceable cable. Should the need arise, the user can simply remove and replace the
cable, minimizing down-time and cost.
SP-746 All of the rugged waterproof / sweatproof features of the SP-H2O, but with an
attached cable. Comfortable, durable and lightweight, this mic will stand up where other
mics can't.
AM-11 This attractive miniature omni-directional lapel microphone has a suprisingly bold
and rich sound for an economically priced unit. Almost as small as the sub-miniature AM-18,
the AM-11 is also an excellent choice when replacing your existing lapel microphone.
AM-18 When only the best will do, the sub-miniature AM-18 is the right choice. The omnidirectional element provides an extended and extremely smooth frequency response. The
super small case is designed for minimal clothing and wind noise, making it a favorite for
concealed stage and broadcast use.
AM-19 The uni-directional patteren adds excellent performance sound isolation with better
feedback control. The three wire circuit design and the high tensile strength cable promote
low contact noise. These features make the microphone well suited for professional
broadcasting, speech and lecture, film and video production.
