Description:
The WIR TX925 is ideal for simultaneous language interpretation for up to two languages. It can
operate up to 18,000 sq ft in two channel mode or 28,000 in single channel mode. Operating on 2.3
and 2.8 MHz, the WIR TX925 is less susceptible to traditional radio and lighting interference. Listen
to the program with the optional RX22-4 four-channel receiver, RX14-2 two-channel receiver or the
RX16 two-channel/stereo receiver.

The coverage area for the TX9 will vary depending on the receiver being used. The diagram above
demonstrates the receiver coverage when operating a single TX9 emitter in single channel mode.
Patterns are direct radiation patterns.
Note: Reflections of the infrared light from walls, ceilings and floors may change these patterns.

To determine the best location for the emitter, it helps to think of the IR emitter as an invisible floodlight. You’ll want to aim it so the listeners are “flooded” with the infrared light. The emitter should also
be positioned high enough so it won’t be blocked by people and other physical obstructions. See Figure
6 below. Mount the emitter at least 2 ft. (.61 m) above the audience. Position the emitter to face in a
slightly downward angle, 20°, that will increase the “throw” of the infrared beam.
Fig. 5: 3-Dimension Foot Pattern
Fig. 6: Vertical Beam Spread
The TX9 floods the listening audience with a
cone shape light pattern as shown here.
Minimum Receiver Range When Operating with a TX9 Emitter in Single Channel Mode
The path of the cone shape light leaves a
pattern on the ground, or "foot print, " and
indicates where the strongest receiver
reception will occur.
The actual coverage area will vary depending
on the sensitivity of the receiver being used.
Refer to Figures 4 and 7 to determine how
many emitters are required for 100% coverage
of the listening area.
