11. Introduction LTO MOD-16 wireless systems have been designed for Vocalists, Presenters and performing Musicians. These wireless systems are based on a sophisticated and innovative PLL circuit but, at the same time, are worry-free and easy to use. Large back lighted displays are available both on the Receiver and the Transmitters and simple Menus allow for a large number of functions such as Frequency Select, Sensitivity, Muting, etc. But what makes the MOD-16 wireless systems truly unique is the MODELING circuit. Special Models have been created for human voice as well as for electric guitar and bass so that your MOD-16 wireless system allows for unprecedented flexibility of sound. It is like to have 16 different systems in one system only. Please read this Manual carefully before operation and enjoy playing with your MOD-16 system! Your MOD-16 system comes with a MOD-16PRO wireless Receiver and either one of the following Transmitters:MOD-16PRO ReceiverMOD-16HIt is a handheld transmitter with rubberised finished and hi-fi level microphone capsule.7. ANNEXMost countries closely regulate the radio frequencies used in the transmission of wireless information. These regulations state which devices can use which frequencies, and help to limit the amount of RF(radio frequency)interference in all wireless communications. To be flexible enough to operate worldwide, MOD-16PRO Wireless receivers are available in a number of models, each with a unique frequency range. Each frequency range, or band, spans up to 24MHz of the wireless broadcast spectrum. 7.1 Frequency Band Selection 7.2 Frequency Ranges16(For Europe market)

Control Elements:3.1 MOD-16PRO, PLL UHF Diversity Receiver FRONT PANEL1 Power Switch: We are afraid you can not use the MOD-16R if you don't switch the Power ON!2 UP/DOWN Keys: You can adjust the right values through these two keys once the MENU is activated.3 DISPLAY: This double digit display shows you the number of channel operating on your MOD-16PRO. The same number must appear on your Transmitter for proper functioning.4 AF Display: It shows the level of the incoming audio signal. When "0" LED lights up the incoming audio signal is optimized and will not present distortion. If the "+6" LED lights up, the audio signal is overloaded and you will hear distortion. If only the "-12" LED lights up only 10% of the available signal reaches the Receiver. For optimal sound reproduction, please do not exceed the "0" level.5 RF Display: It shows the level of the incoming radio signal. Optimum reception is granted when all the LEDs light up. If no LED lights up, there is minimum or no radio signal coming into the Receiver. If only a few LEDs light up you may still operate the system but it means you are in a poor reception mode due to Antenna positioning, distance in between Receiver and Transmitter. 6 MENU Key (SET): Via this key you can activate the desired function described above.7 Modeller: Adjust this knob to select the right modelling preset you wish to perform. There are total 16 options for you. Please refer to 5. Modelling Technology for Microphones for further details. 99119988772233445566Ok, enough with numbers. Let's start to familiarize with your MOD-16 System. First of all, the MOD-16PRO Receiver:13MODEL 7: MID-WARMTH, a moderate voice enhancement making use of Bass enhancer.MODEL 8: GROOVY- to add a touch of groove to Male and Female Lead Vocalist. Perfect for Blues.MODEL 9: SHARP- makes human voice quite crispy. Perfect for voice poor in high frequencies or if you get a cold...MODEL 10: KARAOKE- yes, microphones are used in a very peculiar way in Karaoke Bars and Venues. Usually the sound systems there are poor. Use this Model to add high frequencies and have your voice sound like a Pro's!MODEL 12: HEAVY METAL- This model will make your voice sound very aggressive. Good for Rock & Roll and if you have an argument with your Mother in law...MODEL 11: PIANO BAR- it similar to the Karaoke Model but we have also added key low frequencies to give the voice more body.MODEL 5: DE-ESSER- The name tells everything. Use it to de-emphasize the sibilants, like the letter sound 's', for example, from your vocals.MODEL 6: VINTAGE RADIO- Old tube based Receivers made the Announcer voice sound like... yeah, we call it Vintage. Try it for a smooth satin voice. Ideally used for speech, but we found some other neat applications in the studio as well!MODEL13: DISCO- It is similar to the Heavy Metal model but more tailored for Disco Music.MODEL14: CHOIR- Selected frequencies have been manipulated to make thisModel suitable for more than one vocalist when singing in a choirMODEL 15: FEMALE VOICE- Female Singers voices present a frequency response that is quite different from the Male voice. This Model gently adds certain low frequencies to make the female voice more consistent and at the same time will make the highest frequencies of the female voice more sparkling and defined.MODEL 16: PIANO BAR CHOIR- It is a combination of the Karaoke Model and the Piano Bar Model. Good when more than one voice is singing along together.

Turn the knob clockwise fully for the max volume, and turn the knob counterclockwise fullyfor the min volume.9 Antenna Input Sockets: Includes 2 antennas to secure the Diversity function. For optimal radio reception antennas should be placed vertically. You can fold the antennas inward for convenience of transportation.microphone capsules for their wireless systems but this flexibility is far behind the wide choice of tones or "models", as we call them at LTO. In fact, a specific model of wireless microphone may be used by a male vocalist or female vocalist during a live performance, by a Priest in a church service, by a speaker during a seminar, by and aerobics teacher during a training lesson, by a DJ, by a choir, by an announcer, by an auction director, we could go on and on forever with endless applications. It is now evident that each one of these users would benefit from a different tone or "model". But even the same user would like to get a different voicing or "model" depending on the style he is singing. What model serves the musicbest? It's fair to say that it will be different whether he's singing Rock, Blues, or Folk and, of course can also change from song to song. It is unlikely to buyseveral different microphone capsules in order to get different tone or "model"depending of the kind of use of performance. This would be unpractical, since it would be impossible to change a microphone capsule during a performance, not to mention the cost involved.LTO has therefore created and integrated in some of its wireless receivers a range of MODELS. Using these 16 different MODELS the user can select different sound patterns simply with the turn of one knob. There are preset MODELS for male and female Vocalists, DJ, Speakers, Announcers, and more.In a few words, with the LTO modelling technology applied to wireless systems, the User can "fine tune" the sound of his microphone in 16 different ways.12Here is a List and description of the MODELS available on the LTO Receivers:MODEL 1: FLAT- In this position the Modeller is in bypass mode. The LTO Modeller is not adding any character to the Audio OutputMODEL 2: CONFERENCE- To be used during Meetings. Especially made for speech and to avoid the typical boominess of many wireless microphones used for such purpose.MODEL 3: BROADCAST- This Model will add a certain character to the signal. It is typical of the Male Announcers through a solid state Transmitter. MODEL 4: WARMTH- Good for Lead Vocalist Male and Female.It will make the Male voice warmer and the Female voice more body.
6SELECT Key: Once you are in edit mode you can access this key to edit certain parameters. Press this key for a few seconds and the unit will enter in the MUTE mode. (In this way, you can tell your Bass Player what you think about the Sound Engineer without everybody knowing that!). Press it again for a few seconds and you will unmute the unit.Battery Compartment: This unit may be powered from one pair of dry or rechargeable batteries, Um3 size AA 1.5V. 5 5 Charge Jack: With the rechargeable batteries putting inside, use the charger supplied in your system to recharge the batteries. 6 6 Antenna: The Antenna of your MOD-16H is integrated in the microphone body. Please do not cover the antenna for optimal RF transmission.7 7 CH/ON Key: If you press this key for a few seconds your Transmitter will switch ON and OFF. Once you have switched the unit ON, just press this key again slightly and you can edit various parameters such as CHANNEL, GROUP, RF POWER LEVEL and LOCK/UNLOCK. Once you are in the LOCK position no further operation is allowed and, in a few seconds, the display will show the current channel selected (0 to 99). Battery level will also be shown. battery status Front Grill: This spring steel mesh grill will protect the microphone capsule during a live performance. Especially made for heavy metal players, alcohol, drugs, etc..1 1 LCD Display: This nice blue LCD will indicate the current operation status.2 2 4 4 3 3 11- Mute FunctionSometimes, there are things that you want to tell to your Friends on stage or your nearby Companion during a Meeting but not necessarily to the rest of the world especially if you are live on CNN... A smart feature on your Transmitter allows you to easily MUTE the microphone so you are free to talk to the people next to you without the rest of the world hearing what you say. To enter into MUTE function simply press the SELECT key for a few seconds and the Transmitter will mute any audio signal going to the Receiver. Press SELECT again for a few seconds and you will UNMUTE the Transmitter.Note: Why Alto Transmitters come with 100 different frequencies? Not because you will need to use 100 different microphones at the same time. It is unlikely that you will use more than 8 systems at the same time so why 100 frequencies?This depends mainly of Countries regulations. We offer frequencies from 470 to 900 MHZ. Some of these frequencies are illegal in certain Countries and vice versa. Offering such a wide range of frequencies we make sure that each single Country on the planet will have more than enough choice of frequencies available. Not only: A certain frequency can be to close to the frequency generated by lighting equipment, a computer, a fax machine and so on. Therefore, thanks to the large number of frequencies available you can easily switch to another frequency that is interference-free. 5. Modelling Technology for Wireless MicrophonesThis document applies to all LTO Wireless Receivers used in conjunction with LTO Handheld and Bodypack TransmittersFundamentals: LTO has created and integrated a wireless microphone system offering 16 modelling presets resulting in a range of tonal response for a wide variety of applications. Until this innovative introduction made for the first time in the world in a wireless system by LTO, wireless systems consisting of receiver and microphone transmitters produced a single sound pattern. Each microphone capsule design, because of the laws of physics, features its own frequency response and adds a certain tonal colour to the signal it transmits. If you do not like the colour added, you must change the microphone section of your transmitter, much like a painter chooses a different colour from his palate. Many brands today offer several different

8OK, if so far you remember all the functions and features of your Mod16 System you are ready to operate the Unit. Let's start from the Receiver:4. OperationFirst, turn the Unit ON. With your Transmitter in ON position, check the Channel Number indicated on the Transmitter display. Now, press the UP/DOWN keys untilthe same value is shown on the double digit display of your MOD-16 Receiver. OnceReceiver and Transmitter are synchronized the LED Meters for Audio signal and Radio frequency will light up.- Audio Output LevelThe volume control knob adjusts the amount of audio signal to be sent to themixing desk through the balanced or unbalanced output sockets on the rear panel. Turn the volume knob clockwise for maximum output and counterclockwise for minimum output volume.- Squelch Control:A squelch circuit is responsible to minimize audible noise during operation.Such circuit will mute the Receiver every time the incoming audio signal drops below a certain threshold.
