Digital Wireless
Microphone System
Introduction
Please enjoy the easy and exciting performance that the PDW Wireless
Series provides for your next performance. PROformance has been
creating valued product for nearly 20 years and prides themselves on
developing and supporting the live performer. Our design criterion was
straightforward. Develop a high value wireless microphone system that
can cope with today’s challenging RF environment that is both easy to
use and exciting to operate.
The PDW Wireless includes the following features:
• Two discrete channels of wireless packaged in
one receiver chassis.
• Each channel has RF and AF indicator lights that indicate
the presence of connectivity and audio source.
• Digital modulation for optimum clarity
• Advanced dipole antenna technology for increased
operating range.
• Dual output options on the receiver for maximum
performance and exibility of use.
- Professional balanced XLRM-type discrete outputs
- Professional balanced ¼ inch mixed output
• Handheld transmitter outtted with on/off and mute function
for exibility of use.
• Bodypack transmitter outtted with on/off, mute function
for exibility of use.
• Handheld transmitter features battery life indicator.
• Battery life of >10hrs.
• All Bodypack systems ship with guitar cable, condenser
headworn and lav mic included.

Individuals with cardiac pacemakers and other similar medical devices
should consult with their physician before using any RF devices.
Though the output level of this wireless system is below 50 milliwatts,
the proximity of the transmitter to the implant device could pose a
threat.
As with any wireless product, environmental conditions can reduce or
in some cases prohibit a successful connection between the transmitter
and the receiver.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Most users of
our wireless products in the United States do not need a license for
operation. However, the rules for unlicensed operation in this band
state that this device must not operate in excess of 50mV/m and it must
not cause harmful interference to other wireless devices, and must
accept interference received from other devices. Wireless products
meeting our factory standards adhere to these rules. The FCC reserves
the right to change these rules at any time. For more information
contact the FCC at 1- 888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the
FCC’s wireless microphone website at:
www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne
et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible
d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
