INTRODUCTION
About RF Transmission
Through today’s technology and advanced engineering, wireless microphones reproduce excellent vocal quality and render very reliable service.
Thus today, the use of wireless microphones is
commonplace. The convenience of no cumbersome cables and freedom of movement has made
the wireless microphone very convenient to use.
However, it will helpful to be aware of some inherent anomalies associated with wireless microphones. RF is a radio signal being transmitted
from the microphone to a receiver in your sound
system. Note; there are thousands of RF signals
being transmitted through the air at all times.
Therefore, it is always possible that there may be
another signal being transmitted at or near the
frequency you have selected. This will cause interference resulting in static, intermittent connection
or even complete blockage. Therefore, a change
in frequency selection will be necessary.
Extensive metal barriers (cyclone fences, screen,
steel reinforced walls, etc.) can reduce signal
strength, resulting in dropouts and poor performance.
RF can transmit through solid surfaces in all directions. The range can be in excess of 100 feet.
Therefore, be aware that what is said off stage will
be heard unless the transmitter is turned “off” or
microphone is muted.
The most troublesome problem with wireless
microphones is the result of weak batteries. Typically, fresh alkaline batteries will provide 6 - 8
hours of service and rechargeable batteries 5 – 7
hours per charge.

About the Titan Neo
INTRODUCTION
The Titan Neo is a compact portable sound system
for music playback and voice reinforcement. It is
powered by internal batteries and housed in a
rugged enclosure. The lightwieght, compact size
makes the Titan Neo very versatile and practical
for use on all occasions, indoors or out.
The basic system is comprised of an efficient
50 watt power amplifier, a control panel and a
rechargeable battery power supply. The control
panel provides a battery level indicator, microphone input with volume control, line input with
volume control, line output, master volume, and
bass and treble controls. The rechargeable NiMH
batteries provide 6–8 hours of use at moderate
sound level. Titan Neo can also be plugged into
AC for continuous use.
With the “Priority” function switch on the control
panel engaged, while playing music through the
system, the music volume will automatically be
lowered 15 dB when speaking into the microphone. After speaking, the music will automatically restore to the previous level.
The Titan Neo can be equipped with several
options. One or two wireless microphone receivers can be installed; expanding its capability for
use with wireless microphones.
Either a CD/MP3 player for playback of CD / flash
drive or a digital MP3 only module can be installed.
A unique option, the wireless AirLink module, will
transmit the composite program from one Titan
Neo to another Titan Neo equipped with a wireless microphone receiver—equivalent to having a
powered remote speaker without a cable connection (multiple units can be used).
The Titan Neo is equipped with a neodymium bass
speaker that provides greater efficiency, better
sound quality, and lighter weight. Coupled with a
high frequency horn, the Titan Neo reproduces a
full range sound with crystal clear voice projection.

Receiver Module for Wireless Microphone Model: DR-800
CD/MP3 Player Module with Remote Control Model: CD-800S
AirLink Transmitter Module Model: TX-800
Main Control Panel
Digital Time Delay Module Model: DD-750
Titan Neo COMPONENTS & OPERATION
The DR-800 module is a 96 channel UHF receiver (640 – 664 MHz). The auto
scan feature will automatically select a clear channel and lock on. However, the
user can override the auto and manually select a channel of choice. Two DR800 modules can be installed for dual wireless microphone operation.
In addition to being an anti shock CD / MP3 player it also features a USB Input
Port and SD/MMC Reader. The pitch can be increased or decreased 10 levels
up or down. Controls and functions include: Volume, Play/Pause, Stop/Eject,
FWD, Rev, FF, FB and folder select. A fully functional remote control with Keypad provides remote operation of all functions.
For larger venues or audiences, the TX-800 transmitter module will broadcast
a composite program signal to companion units equipped with a DR-800 wireless receiver. The companion systems can be located throughout the venue
without the need for speaker cables. The TX-800 will transmit all inputs including the wireless microphones, CD player, and control panel inputs. Typical operating range is 300–500 feet (line of sight).
The control panel provides the basic inputs and controls. Inputs include: Balanced (XLR) or Unbalanced (¼" phone) Lo-z microphone Input, Dual Line Input (RCA) with volume control, Dual Line Output (RCA), Mic. Volume Control,
Treble & Bass Controls, Master Volume Control, Battery Level Indicator, and
Voice Priority Switch
Installed in Companion Systam only
The DD-750 module is a delay module that can store a signal received for
20–500 milliseconds, selectable in 2 millisecond increments. The program signal is transmitted from the Titan Neo through the TX-800 AirLink Module to
the companion system equipped with the DD-750 delay module. The signal is
digitally stored in the DD-750 per the delay time selected and then released
through the companion sound system. Its purpose is to synchronize the sound
heard from the master Titan Neo with the sound from the companion system.
Typical application, when companion system is more than 50 feet away.

Titan Neo COMPONENTS & OPERATION
Before Using the Titan Neo
Power Panel
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery (NiMH) (environmentally friendly)
Battery Care and Maintenance
It is best to plug the Titan Neo into an AC outlet and restore batteries to full
charge condition. Although the batteries were checked and fully charged prior
to shipment, NiMH batteries have a tendency to lose some charge when not
in use.
The power panel is located above the main control panel. Its houses the master
power switch. The internal light in the rocker switch will illuminate “red” when
powered “on”.
When either the AutoLink (TX-800) or Digital Delay (DD-750) module is installed in lieu of the power panel, the power switch is part of its panel.
The NiMH battery is the present day replacement of the (NiCd) Nickel Cadmium battery. Its energy density is more than double that of Lead Acid and
40% higher than NiCd batteries thus serving a longer performance per charge.
Relative to size, weight, and capacity; the NiMH battery is the best performing
and cost effective battery for portable applications. Typical life expectancy is
three to five years and will provide approximately 500 hundred full recycles.
Inherent to NiMH batteries, they are prone to self discharge while not in use.
Therefore, it is best to plug the Titan Neo into an AC outlet while in storage.
This will assure full useable charge and ready to use. The regulated power
supply of the Titan Neo will maintain a full charge and not overcharge the
batteries. Although the NiMH battery does not form a memory like the NiCd,
they can form a bit of a barrier at lower discharge levels. It is a good practice
to totally discharge and recharge the batteries once or twice a year to maintain
full service per cycle.
