TOA instruction Manual ARTWORK_2 8/5/06 1:23 pm Page 7 INTRODUCTION The TOA WS Series represents TOA's commitment to providing highquality, affordable Wireless Audio Links using our considerable design expertise gained over many years as a leading edge manufacturer. We would like to thank you for purchasing this product and would like you to spend a short time reading this Operations Instructions so as to familiarise yourself with the features of the TOA WS series. WS SYSTEM OVERVIEW The TOA WS is a high-quality UHF Wireless Microphone System. The WS has many features including:>> 4 User Selectable Channels - that can be operated simultaneously. >> Diversity Receiver Operation - to minimise drop-outs >> User Adjustable Audio Output Level - adjustable on both Jack and XLR outputs. >> User Adjustable RSSI/Squelch - enables the user to minimise external interference. >> Designed to operate license free in most EU countries. (EA Band 863-865 MHz) SAFETY Our aim is to supply you with a product that provides you with countless hours of trouble free use. In order to achieve these goals, we recommend the following:Keep the system away from direct sources of heat e.g. Central heating radiators, heaters and direct sunlight. Should the Transmitters not be used for extended periods of time we recommend that the batteries should be removed so as to avoid any potential battery leakage. Keep the system clean by using a slightly damp cloth. Never use household cleaning agents or solvents. Avoid using or storing the system in damp conditions. THE WS COMPRISES OF 2 BASIC DIFFERENT VARIATIONS:The Handheld System and the Lavalier Presenters System. The Handheld System comprises of a fully integrated Handheld Microphone incorporating a Cardioid Dynamic Capsule and is most suited to General Vocal Applications. The Lavalier System comprises of a Lavalier Transmitter which is supplied with a small Lapel style clip-on Microphone and is ideally suited for General Presentation/ Theatre applications. Always use the AC power adaptor supplied with the Receiver and never remove the external covers of the equipment, so as to expose the electronics.

It is possible to select any of the 4 channels. (Factory set to position 1). 1. Connect the appropriate AC adaptor into the DC inlet as marked on the rear panel and observe the Supply indicator (green Led ) lights up. 2. To provide best diversity operation, angle the antennas to form a ”V” as per illustration and ensure that the antennas have a good line-of–sight view of the corresponding transmitter. i.e. Avoid placing large metallic objects in the transmission path. 3. Initially set the receiver AF gain control to its mid-position and connect the AF output from either the 1/4 inch Jack or XLR to your Mixing console or amplifier. 4. Select rear panel Channel Selector Switch (Small screw-driver adjust) to correspond to Transmitter setting. It is possible to select any of the 4 channels. (Factory set to position 1).

Ensure that the Battery Compartment MIC/INST switch is set to Mic position. BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR 3. Clip the microphone to your clothing (normally Tie or Jacket Lapel). Route the mic cable so as to avoid undue strain or friction. Try and keep the mic cable away from the ANTENNA ON/OFF SWITCH The microphone supplied with the WS as a Omni-directional response, which means it will pick up sounds from all directions. In view of this we recommend that the microphone is placed as close as possible to the required sound source. LAVALIER GAIN CONTROL ADJUSTMENT. (Small screw-driver adjust) If required adjust the Transmitter AF gain control so as the signal only very occasionally allows the Red AF O/L Peak Led on the receiver to light. BATTERY/ CONTROL HOUSING CHANNEL NUMBER SETTING (Small screw-driver adjust) LAVALIER BATTERY INSERTION 1. Slide the battery compartment to the rear and hinge up-wards to expose the battery. With the Transmitter in the OFF position, select a channel to correspond with the Receiver. It is possible to select any of the 4 channels. (Factory set to position 1). 2. Insert a 9V MN1604 (IEC 6 LR61) PP3 type alkaline battery, being sure to observe the correct polarity as marked. Note: The Transmitter only changes Active Channel when turned off and then on. Note: Should the Red battery status Led Indicator go out during operation, this indicates a flattened battery and should be changed . AF GAIN ADJUST CHANNEL SELECT MIC/INSTRUMENT SWITCH TOA instruction Manual ARTWORK_2 8/5/06 1:23 pm Page 13 GENERAL SETUP AND OPERATING HINTS 1. DISTANCE. To maximise operating distance (approximately 100m). We recommend you follow the following guidelines. a. Ensure good line of sight between Transmitter and Receiver. Do not place large obstructions between receiver and transmitters e.g. Concrete walls, large metal obstructions. In addition keep the receiver away from metallic beams and obstructions as these can adversely affect the Antenna Pick-up Pattern and induce interference. b. Always ensure that the Transmitter is at least 3m (10 feet) away from the Transmitter. c. Conduct a “Walk test” which involves you moving the Transmitter in the area transmission is required and noting the received RF signal strength on the receiver bargraph. Reception is best with all 4 Leds lit. d. Never position the Transmitter Antenna directly against the body or hand. This will have the effect of reducing the operating range considerably. 2. MULTICHANNEL OPERATION OF THE WS. The WS is designed for simultaneous use of four systems. a. Ensure each system is assigned a different operating channel. The channels are adjusted as per the illustrations. It is important that each Transmitter/Receiver combination has it’s own unique channel numbered 1-4. Note: The Transmitter only changes Active Channel when turned off and then on. b. We recommend that the Receivers are spaced slightly apart and not stacked directly on top of each other to avoid disturbance to the Receivers Antennae. c. Try to ensure that each Transmitter is separated by 0.5m (1.5 feet) during operation. Note: TOA cannot guarantee multichannel compatibility with other brands/make of product. 3. SQUELCH/RSSI SET UP. The WS incorporates a Fixed Noise Squelch and a variable “Received Signal strength” Mute Control on the rear panel of the Receiver. This function is to reduce or eliminate the effect of interference from outside sources. 10 To adjust follow these steps: a. Turn-off the Transmitter and note if any interference is present by monitoring the Receiver RF Bargraph or Audio Output. b. Turn the Squelch Control clockwise until the interference disappears. In extreme cases it may not be possible to remove the unwanted interference and in this case it is recommended you try an alternative channel. Note: that the Squelch Control affects the operating range of the system and with the Squelch set to maximum, the range will be significantly reduced. 4. RECEIVER AF GAIN ADJUST. The WS receiver gain is continuously adjustable between Mic and Line level. Should the receiver signal be too high it will distort your mixer/amplifier. If the signal is too low the result will be an increase in general background noise. Adjust this control to achieve the best signal quality. 5. BATTERY INFORMATION. Please note that this product is designed to be used with a 9V Alkaline battery. Should you use a rechargeable cell, be sure not to force it into the battery compartment as some types can be considerably larger than standard types and note that the operation time will be much reduced. 6. LOW-BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR ON TRANSMITTERS. In normal circumstances, with the use of an Alkaline 9V battery, the Transmitters should provide approximately 10hrs of continuous use. Should the Battery indicator go out, it is advisable to change the battery as soon as possible. FAULT-FINDING. In the event of a problem it is worth checking the following check list. 1. No RF Signal Indication on Receiver! a. Is the Receiver and Transmitter on the same channel? b Is the battery fresh in the Transmitter and the battery indicator lit? 2. a. b. c. No Audio Signal! Is the AF Gain Control set correctly on the Receiver? Is the Squelch Control set correctly (Normally mid-position).? Is the MIC/INST switch in the correct position on the Beltpack? 11 TOA instruction Manual ARTWORK_2 8/5/06 1:23 pm Page 15 WS SYSTEM PACKAGE CONTENTS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:OVERVIEW.
