INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE TELEX SOUND
ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM?
Trans mit ter: The trans mit ter gen er ates and am pli -
fies a RF (Ra dio Fre quency) car rier sig nal, mod u lates this car rier with the mi cro phone sig nal, and
ra di ates the mod u lated RF car rier.
Re ceiver: The FM VHF re ceiver is tuned to the fre quency of the trans mit ter. The re ceiver picks up the
ra di ated RF sig nal from the trans mit ter through the
an tenna and con verts the RF sig nal into au dio volt ages for use with an ear phone, head phone, but ton
re ceiver, neckloop, etc. The re ceiver fre quency must
be matched to the trans mit ter fre quency.
ANT.
WHAT FREQUENCY BAND DOES THE
TELEX SYSTEM OPERATE IN?
The Telex Sys tems fea ture a syn the sized trans mit ter
and sin gle chan nel or syn the sized re ceiv ers op er at ing in the VHF Band be tween 72-76 MHz. See Ta ble 1 for stan dard fre quen cies avail able.
Each trans mit ter chan nel can be uti lized by any
num ber of re ceiv ers in any given area. Up to eight
si mul ta neous sys tems can be used, and with proper
place ment of ad ja cent chan nels, up to ten sys tems
can be used.

OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS
Ques tion: Can more than one sys tem be used si -
mul ta neously?
An swer: Yes but never on the same fre quency.
You will need to have dif fer ent fre quen cies for ev ery re ceiver/trans mit ter com bi na tion. All trans mit ters are fac tory set for spe cific fre quen cies.
Ques tion: Is the sys tem more sen si tive in any one
par tic u lar di rec tion?
An swer: No, the trans mit ter’s an tenna ra di ates
equally in all di rec tions, but the sig nal is at ten u ated
by your body, walls or other sur round ing ob jects.
The re ceiv ing an tenna is es sen tially sen si tive in all
di rec tions as well.
When ever the sys tem is in use, the trans mit ter
should be left on to pre vent the re ceiver from pick ing up out side in ter fer ence.

Ques tion: Can the re ceiver re ceive other trans mis -
sions when the trans mit ter is turned off?
An swer: Yes it can. Telex sys tems op er ate in the
VHF Band be tween 72-76 MHz. How ever, it is not
sus cep ti ble to ra dio wave skip, CB’ers or stan dard
FM ra dio trans mis sions.
The fre quency your sys tem op er ates on is com puter
se lected for least in ter fer ence, but there is no such
thing as a 100% clear chan nel all the time, any where in the U.S.A., for ever!
If the sys tem is go ing to be used in a per ma nent

If the sys tem is go ing to be mov ing among var i ous

En hanced Dy namic Range (E.D.R.) Op er a tion
The Telex ST-300 Trans mit ter is equipped with
E.D.R., En hanced Dy namic Range (companded) au dio. This mode greatly im proves the Au dio Sig nal to
Noise Ra tio when used with the Telex Model
SR-400 re ceiver. The E.D.R. mode must be se lected
on both the trans mit ter and re ceiver to be ef fec tive.
1. To en gage the E.D.R. func tion, turn the ST-300
off with the power switch.
2. Press and hold the SET but ton while you turn the

but DO NOT turn on any other re ceiver or trans mit ter at this time. If audible in ter fer ence is pres ent, this may in di cat e an other user on the
chan nel. Mon i tor ing should be re peated for each

E.D.R. func tion may be en gaged on the ST-300.
See set ting E.D.R. func tion on page 9. The
E.D.R. fea ture can only be used with the

2. Set your trans mit ter(s) to chan nels with no or

-----Keep the dis tance be tween the trans mit ter and
the re ceiver(s) as short as pos si ble. The greater the
dis tance the weaker the sig nal.
Make sure the “sig nal path” be tween the trans mit ter

be able to vi su ally lo cate the an tenna of the trans mit ter at all times.
DO NOT - Mount the trans mit ter on, or next to,

This will “de tune” the trans mit ter an tenna which
