System 8 Installation and Operation2This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. A copy of the declaration of conformity can be found on the internet at www.audio-technica.com.This device complies with INDUSTRY CANADA R.S.S. 210, en conformité avec IC: RSS-210/CNR210. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference which may cause undesired operation. Changes or modications not expressly approved by Audio-Technica could void your authority to operate this equipment.CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover. Refer servicing to qualied service personnel. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not expose to rain or moisture.The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with federal regulations. Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.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 difculty, 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.Thank you for choosing an Audio-Technica professional wireless system. You have joined thousands of other satised customers who have chosen our products because of their quality, performance and reliability. This wireless microphone system is the successful result of years of design and manufacturing experience.Each System 8 professional VHF wireless system includes a receiver and either a body-pack transmitter or a handheld microphone/transmitter on a specic crystal-controlled frequency. ATW-801 UniPak® body-pack transmitter systems include models pre-packaged with either an AT-GCW guitar cable (/G), a PRO 8HEcW headworn microphone (/H), a PRO 92cW headworn microphone (/H92), a PRO 92cW-TH headworn microphone (/H92-TH), or a lavalier mic (/L) for particular applications. All A-T Wireless Essentials® microphones and cables, available separately, are pre-terminated for use with any ATW-801 system.Because System 8 packaging is designed to hold all versions of the system, some compartments in the carton may be intentionally left empty.The ATW-R800 receiver includes a switching power supply that automatically adapts to changes in mains voltage. The versatile ATW-T801 UniPak body-pack transmitter has both a high-impedance input for instruments, and a low-impedance input with bias connection for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones. The ATW-T802 handheld transmitter features a unidirectional dynamic microphone element.Both the body-pack and handheld transmitters use internal AA batteries and have Power/Mute switches and input Trim (level) adjustments.Receiver InstallationLocationFor best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) above the ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to minimize reections. Keep the receiver antennas away from noise sources such as digital equipment, motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as away from large metal objects. In multi-channel systems, position receivers at least 3' (1 m) apart and keep operating transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from the receivers to help assure maximum RF performance.Output ConnectionThe receiver provides unbalanced, aux-level output from a 1/4" TS (“mono”) phone jack; an output cable is not included. Use a shielded audio cable with 1/4" phone plug to connect the receiver’s AF Out jack to the mixer/amplier’s aux-level input.Power ConnectionConnect the DC plug on the included AC power adapter to the DC power input on the back of the receiver. Secure the cord over the cord hook on the back of the receiver, to keep the plug from being detached by an accidental tug on the cord. Then plug the adapter into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz AC power outlet. (Note that the receiver has no power Off/On switch. The receiver will be energized whenever the power adapter is connected and plugged into the AC outlet. Unplug the power supply from the AC outlet when the system is not in use — both for safety, and to conserve energy.)AntennasA novel “dipole” antenna system on the receiver improves operation by providing a “ground” element in addition to the usual “signal” element. Position the two antennas at 90° in the form of a “V,” or position the left (“signal”) antenna vertically and the right (“ground”) antenna horizontally, in the shape of an “L” (Fig. A). Use the position that performs better in your operating environment. Be certain to extend both antennas to their full 15" (38 cm) length by holding them at their bases and pulling out on their caps. Both antenna elements may be swiveled to the left and right, but do not attempt to rotate them in a screwing/unscrewing motion. To do so may damage the antenna and/or receiver. For best performance, locate the receiver so its antennas are in direct line-of-sight to the transmitter’s likely operating position.

A number of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are available separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak® input connector (see www.audio-technica.com). UniPak® Transmitter AntennaThe UniPak® transmitter includes a permanently-attached exible antenna. For best results, allow the antenna to hang freely and full length from the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different transmitter positions on your body or instrument; or try repositioning the receiver. Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the length of the transmitting antenna.PUSHLINSTMICHL HLR6,AALR6,AAFigure E — UniPak® TransmitterAntennaInput ConnectorPower ButtonScrewdriverInstrument Trimmer (INST)Microphone Trimmer (MIC)Indicator LED(Power/Mute/Battery)Battery Compartment
System 8 Installation and Operation6System OperationTurn down the receiver volume control and the mixer/amplier level before starting up the wireless system. Do not switch on the transmitter yet.Receiver on...Plug the power supply into an AC power source. The green Power indicator on the front panel will light. Transmitter on...When the transmitter is switched on, the receiver’s amber RF signal indicator will light. The transmitters have a soft-touch power switch. When the switch is set to “Mute” (red indicator LED), the transmitter produces RF with no audio signal. When the switch is “On” (green indicator LED) the transmitter produces both RF and audio. Excessive audio input to the transmitter will cause the receiver’s red AF Peak indicator to light.Receiver VolumeUnder typical operating conditions, the receiver’s volume control should be turned all the way up, with overall system audio gain adjusted at the mixer or amplier.Input Level AdjustmentInput trimmer controls in the transmitters enable you to maximize performance for a particular microphone or guitar sensitivity, or to adjust for different acoustic input levels. Adjusting Input Level - UniPak TransmitterSlide the battery cover off the top part of transmitter and remove the screwdriver from its clip (Fig. D). Gently turn both the “MIC” (Mic Trimmer) and “INST” (Instrument Trimmer) controls to their full counterclockwise positions (toward “L”).• Microphone: Adjusting input levelGently turn only the “MIC” (Mic Trimmer) control all the way up (clockwise, toward “H”). Check for excessive gain by speaking/singing into the microphone at typically loud levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak indicator does light, turn the “MIC” control slightly counterclockwise until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum audio input to the transmitter.• Guitar/Instrument: Adjusting input levelGently turn only the “INST” (Instrument Trimmer) control all the way up (clockwise, toward “H”). Check for excessive gain by playing at typically loud levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak indicator does light, turn the “INST” control slightly counterclockwise until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum instrument input to the transmitter. After adjusting input level, return the screwdriver to its clip and reinstall the battery cover. No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as the input device and the acoustic input level are not changed.Adjusting Input Level - Handheld TransmitterUnscrew the lower body cover and slide it off, exposing the screwdriver and "LEVEL" (Gain Trimmer) control (Fig. C). Remove the screwdriver from its clip. Gently turn the "LEVEL" control to its full clockwise position (toward the side marked “H”), the factory setting. Check for excessive gain by speaking/singing into the microphone at typically-loud levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak indicator does light, turn the "LEVEL" control slightly counterclockwise until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum audio input to the mic/transmitter.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 signicantly. CAUTION! The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the supplied screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal 190o range of rotation.Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when not in use.Ten Tips to Obtain the Best Results1. Use only fresh alkaline batteries. Do not use “general purpose” (carbon-zinc) batteries.2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstructions between it and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight is best.3. The transmitter and the receiver should be as close together as conveniently possible, but not less than 6' (2 m).4. Do not place the receiver antennas within 3' (1 m) of another receiver or antenna.5. The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal.6. A receiver cannot receive signals from two transmitters on the same frequency at the same time.7. In the UniPak transmitter, the “MIC” or “INST” input control not in use should be set to minimum.8. If the receiver output is set too low, the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the system may be reduced. Conversely, if the volume control of the receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the mixer/amplifier, causing distortion. Adjust the output level of the receiver so the highest sound pressure level going into the microphone (or the loudest instrument playing level) causes no input overload in the mixer, and yet permits the mixer level controls to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). This provides the optimum signal-to-noise for the entire system.9. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the battery if the transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.10. Unplug the receiver from the AC outlet when the system is not in use.System Operating FrequenciesFrequency SelectionEach transmitter/receiver system operates on a single factory aligned, crystal-controlled frequency. Available frequencies are shown in the chart on the next page.Operating frequency is specified by a two character code, such as “T2,” in addition to the actual frequency in MHz. The frequency of each transmitter appears on a label on the outside of the unit. The frequency of each receiver appears on a label on the bottom of the unit and the frequency of each system appears on the outer carton. For future refer-ence, please record them in the space provided on page 7.RF InterferencePlease note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio ser-vices. According to Federal Communications Commission regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from other licensed operations within 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 the Audio Solutions at Audio-Technica U.S.Extensive wireless information also is available on the A-T Web site at www.audio-technica.com.
