Multi Channel Transmitter (MCTX-16) Installation Instructions
Introduction
The Multi Channel Transmitter (MCTX-16) is designed as part of the Audeon low power UHF
radio system for use in fitness, conference and exhibition centres. It is compatible with the
MCTX-8 and the single channel system (SCTX) and uses the same transmission frequencies. The
transmitter has the new input module (RF16) which provides two mono RF channels. The
processor can be supplied with any number of input modules. The number of inputs can be
increased or reduced on site as required without any further modification. Additional features
include an emergency message evacuation announcement activated by the fire alarm, three high
quality priority microphone inputs and a wall mounting remote control for the audio feed to the
public address system. Mono and stereo input modules can be mixed in the same processor if
required.
The baseband processor is housed in a standard 19" card frame with all electronics on removable
cards.

The transmitter can accept upto sixteen line level stereo audio inputs and transmits in either the
licence free ISM band or in TV channel 69 for which a licence will be required. The range of up
to 100 metres is dependant on the location where reflections from metal objects may increase or
decrease the range whilst absorbent objects such as walls, furniture and people will reduce the
range available.
This instruction manual describes the installation procedures for the Audeon MCTX transmitter
pack. The pack consists of the eight channel baseband processor, the up converter, the aerial and
a tuned feeder cable.
