Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers
or AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal
functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have
low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) which are unlikely
to cause difculty, especially if they are at least a few inches away.
However, since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against
the body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt
pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical device.
Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF
transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or
medical-device provider if you have any questions, or experience any
problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.
RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio
services. According to Federal Communications Commission
regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected
from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any
interference is received by any Government or non Government
operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation...” If you
need assistance with operation or frequency selection, please contact
your dealer or Audio-Technica. Extensive wireless information also is
available at www.audio-technica.com.
Thank you for choosing an Audio-Technica professional wireless
system. You have joined thousands of other satised customers who
have chosen our products because of their quality, performance and
reliability. This Audio-Technica wireless microphone system is the
successful result of years of design and manufacturing experience.
Each 2000 Series wireless system provides a choice of 10 PLL
synthesized UHF frequencies in one of ve UHF frequency ranges,
available for exible performance in a wide variety of regions
worldwide:
Frequency Range
Band D 656.125 – 678.500 MHz
Band E 800.550 – 813.150 MHz
Band F 854.900 – 864.900 MHz
Band G 722.125 – 744.500 MHz
Band I 487.125 – 506.500 MHz
The band letter reference at the end of 2000 Series Stock Numbers
indicates what band system/component operates in. For simplicity,
model numbers used throughout this manual will reference only the
basic model number without the band indications.
Each wireless system includes a receiver and either a body-pack or
handheld transmitter. UniPak® body-pack transmitter systems include
accessory microphones for particular applications. All A-T Wireless
Essentials® microphones and cables, available separately, are pre-
terminated for use with any Audio-Technica 2000 Series wireless
system.
The ATW-R2100a receiver features true diversity reception. Two
antennas feed two completely independent RF sections on the same
frequency; automatic logic circuitry continuously compares and
selects the superior received signal, providing better sound quality and
reducing the possibility of interference and dropouts. The receiver also
offers a switchable output attenuator to reduce the level of the output
signal by 12 dB for exible use with a variety of system congurations.
Switchable antenna power is also provided. Soft-touch controls provide
convenient access to selection of operating frequency and automatic
scanning, while an LCD information display provides constant
monitoring of system operation. The receiver is half-width for a standard
1U 19" rack mount; rack-mount adapters are included. Two receivers can
be mounted side by side, using an optional AT8630 joining-plate kit.
The versatile ATW-T210a UniPak® body-pack transmitter has both
low- and high-impedance inputs plus a bias connection, for use
with dynamic and electret condenser microphones, as well as Hi-Z
instrument pickups. The UniPak® transmitter also offers separate trim
controls for instrument and microphone, plus switchable high/low RF
power.
The ATW-T220a handheld dynamic microphone/transmitter features
the same element used in the PRO 41 dynamic handheld microphone
created for professional live-sound venues. It also offers switchable
high/low RF power. Both the ATW-T210a UniPak® and ATW-T220a
handheld transmitters also offer charging contacts so the units can be
placed in an optional recharging station for multi-transmitter charging.
For economical operation and wide availability, transmitters in the
2000 Series use two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable two AA
NiMH batteries for use with Audio-Technica’s ATW-CHG2 Recharging
Station. Both transmitters have battery condition indicators. 2000 Series
receivers feature a sophisticated Tone Lock™ tone squelch system that
opens the receiver’s audio output only when a 2000 Series transmitter
is detected, reducing the possibility of interference. As a result, 2000
Such modifications could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

Series transmitters and receivers must be used together and should not
be used with components from other Audio-Technica wireless systems,
or with those of other manufacturers.
Please note that in multiple-system applications there must be a
transmitter-receiver combination set to a separate channel (frequency)
for each input desired (only one transmitter for each receiver).
Because the wireless frequencies are within UHF TV frequency bands,
only certain channels (operating frequencies) may be useable in a
particular geographic area. The 10 channels (operating frequencies) per
band that are used in the 2000 Series have been selected for multi-
channel compatibility. Subject to frequency availability in a particular
geographic area, any of these 10 channels may be used together. The
operating frequencies that correspond to each of the 10 channels are
listed on page 10.
Receiver Installation
Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3 ft. (1 m) above the
ground and at least 3 ft. away from a wall or metal surface to minimize
reections. The transmitter should be at least 3 ft. from the receiver,
as shown in Figure A. Keep antennas away from noise sources such
as digital equipment, motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as
away from large metal objects.
Fig. A
Output Connections
There are two audio outputs on the back panel: balanced and
unbalanced. Use shielded audio cable for the connection between the
receiver and the mixer. If the input of the mixer is a 1/4" jack, connect a
cable from the 1/4" unbalanced audio output on the back of the receiver
housing to the mixer. If the input of the mixer is an XLR-type input,
connect a cable from the balanced XLR-type audio output on the back
panel to the mixer. The two isolated audio outputs permit simultaneous
feeds to both unbalanced and balanced inputs. For example, both a
guitar amp and a mixer can be driven by the receiver.
Antennas
Attach the included pair of UHF antennas to the antenna input jacks.
The antennas are normally positioned in the shape of a “V” (both 45°
from vertical) for best reception.
Accessory antennas can be remotely located from the receiver.
However, due to signal loss in cables at UHF frequencies, use the
lowest-loss RF cables practical for any cable runs over 25 feet. RG8-
type is a good choice. Use only copper-shielded cable, not CATV-type
foil-shielded wire. Audio-Technica offers quality RF cables in four
lengths, as well as remote antennas; see audio-technica.com for a wide
selection of wireless system accessories.
Antenna Power
The antenna input jacks also can provide +12V DC output on their
center pins to power inline RF devices. A maximum of 60 mA can be
drawn from each of the jacks. While an accidental short-circuit will not
harm the internal 12V supply, make certain that an antenna cable shield
does not contact the center conductor. Antenna Power is selected by
a switch on the back of the ATW-R2100a Receiver. The unit is shipped
with the switch in the “off” position.
Note: the antennas included with the ATW-R2100a Receiver do not
require power. If you have an antenna system that requires power
(such as powered antennas or active combiners or splitters) switch the
Antenna Power switch to the “on” position.
Power Connections
Connect the included AC adapter to the DC power input on the back of
the receiver. Loop the small cord from the DC plug over the cord hook
above the jack, to keep the plug from being detached by an accidental
tug on the cord. Operation of the receiver is controlled by the front-
panel Power switch.

System Operation
Switch on the receiver. Do not switch on the transmitter yet.
Receiver On…
The LCD display will light up and one of the tuner operation indicator
LCD segments (A or B) will light, even though the transmitter is not on.
If two or more of the RF LCD segments light up at this point, there may
be RF interference in the area. If this occurs, change operating channels
(select another frequency).
How to Make Operating Channel Changes
Operating channel changes (frequency changes) may be made in two
ways: manually and automatically.
To change channel manually
1. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to reach the desired channel
number.
2. Hold the Set/Scan button until the channel number stops ashing
to set the receiver to the channel indicated. NOTE: Before the
channel has been set, a touch (momentary press) of the Set/Scan
(rather than a hold) will revert the channel to its previous setting.
To change channel automatically
1. Hold the Set/Scan button. The Automatic Scan/Set Mode will
automatically scan for and set the next open channel. LCD screen
will ash “FS” four times to indicate start of scan.
Transmitter On…
Before turning on the transmitter, use the provided screwdriver to
set the transmitter channel selector switches (Fig. E/I) to the same
numbers as those displayed on the receiver. Always turn the transmitter
off when changing channels (frequencies).
The transmitters have a two-position, on-off power switch. When the
switch is “On,” the transmitter produces both RF and audio.
The transmitters have a two-position RF power select switch, offering
low/high transmission modes to conserve battery life/maximize power.
Factory setting is high.
There is about a half-second delay after the transmitter is switched to
the “On” position before the receiver’s Tone Lock squelch un-mutes the
receiver.
When the transmitter is switched on and in normal operation, the
receiver’s RF signal level indicators will display as dark segments (signal
strength indicators) from bottom to top at the left side of the LCD
display.
Setting Levels
Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input, receiver audio output,
and mixer/amplier input and output levels is important for optimum
system performance.
ATW-T220a Handheld Transmitter
The 2000 Series handheld transmitter has factory pre-set audio input
levels. Factory setting is full clockwise, maximum gain.
1. While speaking/singing into the microphone at typically loud levels,
check the AF meter levels on the receiver. If all ve AF meter bars
are consistently illuminated and distortion is heard through the
system, it may be necessary to adjust the transmitter audio input
level.
2. To adjust the transmitter audio input level, unscrew the lower body
cover and slide it downwards, exposing the screwdriver and level
trim control (Fig. I ). Remove the screwdriver and gently turn the level
trim control counterclockwise until the topmost receiver AF level
meter bar is illuminated only on audio peaks.
3. Return the screwdriver to its clip and close and secure the lower
body. No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as
long as the acoustic input does not change signicantly.
CAUTION! The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the
supplied screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal
180° range of rotation. Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when
not in use.

Setting Levels (Continued)
ATW-T210a UniPak® Transmitter
Trimmer adjustments in the UniPak® transmitter (Fig. E) will enable you
to use microphones or instruments with different output levels.
1. For MIC: Set microphone level trim control fully clockwise
(maximum) and instrument level trim control fully counterclockwise
(minimum). Factory setting is fully clockwise (maximum).
For INSTRUMENT: Set instrument level trim control fully clockwise
(maximum) and microphone level trim control fully counterclockwise
(minimum). Factory setting is fully clockwise (maximum).
2. Set the receiver’s AF Level control to its full clockwise position
(maximum). See Figure D on page 5.
3. Plug the mic or instrument into the transmitter and power up the
system.
4. For MIC: Make an initial adjustment of the mixer’s level controls that
will allow audio through the system.
For INSTRUMENT: Make an initial adjustment of the instrument
amplier input level control that will allow audio through the system.
5. For MIC: While speaking/singing into the microphone at typically
loud levels, check the AF meter levels on the receiver. If all ve
meter bars are consistently illuminated and distortion is heard
through the system, it may be necessary to adjust the UniPak
transmitter audio input level. To adjust the transmitter audio input
level, gently turn the microphone level trim control counterclockwise
until the topmost receiver AF level meter bar is illuminated only on
audio peaks.
For INSTRUMENT: While playing the instrument at typically loud
levels, check the AF meter levels on the receiver. If all ve meter
bars are consistently illuminated and distortion is heard through
the system, it may be necessary to adjust the UniPak transmitter
audio input level. To adjust the transmitter audio input level, gently
turn the instrument level trim control counterclockwise until the
topmost receiver AF level meter bar is illuminated only on audio
peaks.
6. For MIC: While again speaking/singing into the microphone at
typically loud levels, adjust the mixer’s input trim control so the
highest sound pressure level going into the microphone causes no
input overload in the mixer, and yet permits the mixer’s channel and
output level controls to operate in their “normal” range (not set too
high or too low).
For INSTRUMENT: While again playing the instrument at typically
loud levels, adjust the receiver’s AF Level control so the highest
signal level causes no input overload in the instrument amplier
and yet permits the amplier’s input level controls to operate in their
“normal” range (not set too high or too low).
Note: If the mixer cannot be adjusted to operate in its normal
range without distortion, adjust the receiver’s AF Level Control (turn
counterclockwise) until the mixer/ amplier is no longer overloaded.
Fig. E – UniPak® Transmitter Open
Receiver Squelch
The squelch control on the back panel of the receiver is preset
at the factory for best system performance (factory setting is full
counterclockwise), but can be adjusted if you must use the system in
an area with considerable RF interference. If there is interference in
the audio, and changing the channel is not an option, adjust the squelch
control so the system will receive the signal from your transmitter but
will “squelch” or eliminate the unwanted background RF noise. This
adjustment can cause a reduction in useable range of the wireless
transmitter, so set the control to the lowest position that reliably mutes
the unwanted RF signals.
