Features and Controls
The Audio-Technica PRO 88W wireless microphone system is compact, lightweight
and compatible with nearly all video camcorders. The PRO 88W operates in an
authorized VHF band and has a useful range of up to 300 feet in line-of-sight
applications.
Each PRO 88W system operates on two crystal-controlled, switch-selectable
frequencies for clear, clean transmission. There are 4 pairs of frequencies available:
Freq. Code
“A” Channel
“B” Channel
T13
T1: 169.445 MHz
T3: 170.245 MHz
T24
T2: 169.505 MHz
T4: 170.305 MHz
T57
T5: 171.045 MHz
T7: 171.845 MHz
T68
T6: 171.105 MHz
T8: 171.905 MHz
TVHF
Ch. 7: 179.400 MHz
Ch. 8: 180.600 MHz
The Frequency Code appears on the back of each unit. Both transmitter and receiver
must have the same Frequency Code, and both units must be set to either “A”
or “B.” TVHF frequencies are in television channel bands 7 and 8. Use whichever
channel
does not
have an operating TV station in your area.
Note that two transmitters on the same frequency will not work with one receiver.
The PRO 88W is offered with a choice of cardioid or omnidirectional clip-on
microphones. Each type offers distinct benefits: cardioid microphones reduce room
noise and allow a greater working distance than omnidirectional microphones;
omnidirectional microphones are less susceptible to wind and clothing noise and
provide extended frequency response.
Cardioid PRO 88W System
PRO 88W-829 includes AT829mW miniature cardioid clip-on microphone.
Omnidirectional PRO88W Systems
PRO 88W-830 includes MT830mW subminiature omnidirectional clip-on microphone.
PRO 88W-R35 includes ATR3350mW miniature omnidirectional clip-on microphone.
Before use, make certain you understand the function and operation of the system.
