thank you
Thank you for purchasing the AirLink, a stationary line level audio transmission system. Whether the need is to distribute audio to a distant location, to an overflow crowd at a special event, or send the announcer’s voice across the football stadium, Air­Link can get the message across with ease. Tests have been performed through multi-story build­ings from basement to upper conference room, from press box to a remote concession stand, and to multiple locations using several receivers. Trans­mission distance in excess of 500 feet has been achieved in direct line of sight with absolute clarity and rock solid connectivity.
This manual contains helpful information and in­structions for setting up and operating the AirLink system. The system is comprised of a stationary transmitter and remote receiver. You simply plug a line level program signal into the transmitter and it will transmit the program to the remote receiver.
TeachLogic appreciates your confidence with your purchase of our AirLink system. Be assured that TeachLogic products are built to very high quality standards, incorporate state of the art technology, and employ the most advanced manufacturing methodology.

product description
The AirLink system is a wireless audio router that transmits audio via an RF signal to a receiver. The system is comprised of a transmitter base station that transmits to a diversity receiver. The system operates in the UHF range (640–664 MHz). The system has 96 selectable preset channels. Trans­mitter RF output is 40 mW.
The input to the transmitter is line level audio. Two line level audio signals can be input and mixed in the transmitter for a composite signal transmission. The output level of each input can be adjusted and turned “on/off”. The output of the unbalanced line input can be monitored with a headset.
The receiver is a diversity receiver, meaning the signal will be received by either of two receivers; whichever has the best reception. Each receiver has a half-wave antenna for extra sensitive recep­tion. The output of the receiver is either a bal­anced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) and is adjustable from 0–700 mV.
