RANSMITTER
The T1-216 Transmitter is a battery-powered body-pack model used with a microphone to
pick up the tour guide's voice. The transmitter produces an FM radio signal to broadcast the
tour guide's voice to the receiver units. A simple slide switch on top of the transmitter turns
the unit on or off. The T1-216 operates on two AA non-rechargeable alkaline batteries (BAT
001), or two AA rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries (BAT 026).

ICROPHONES
A noise-cancelling, headset microphone (MIC 044) is the standard microphone. The noise-
cancelling microphone helps to reduce background sounds in noisy environments. The
microphone plugs into the “MIC” jack on top of the Transmitter. The microphone should be
positioned directly in front of the tour guide's mouth for to achieve an optimal signal to noise
ratio and so that head movement does not affect the loudness of the signal. The microphone
cord acts as the transmitting antenna.
Optional Microphones
An optional Hearing Protector Headset Microphone (MIC 036) is also available for
extremely high noise environments. It features ear muffs that completely cover both ears and
provides 24 dB NRR of attenuation for hearing protection.
An optional Lapel Clip Microphone can be used in quieter environments like museums or
galleries. The MIC 050 has an omnidirectional pick-up pattern. The MIC 056 has a
directional (or cardioid) pick-up pattern, which will reduce background noise somewhat.
A small hand-held microphone (MIC 026) is also available for tour guides who prefer to hold
the microphone.

ECEIVER
The R1-216 Receiver is a battery-powered body-pack receiver used with a headphone to hear
the signal produced by the transmitter. The receiver is pre-tuned to the transmitter and has a
user-adjustable volume control. The headphone plugs into the “EAR” jack on top of the
Receiver. The receiver is turned on by rotating the volume control wheel. The R1-216
Receiver operates on two AA non-rechargeable alkaline batteries (BAT 001), or two AA
rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries (BAT 026).
