Precautions
•
The unit is designed for use in ambient temperature range
of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
•
Do not place the unit on or near heat sources, such as
lighting equipment, power amplifiers, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. In such places,
the external finish or internal parts of the unit may be
damaged.
•
If the unit is used in a very humid or dusty place or in a
place subject to an active gas, clean its surface as well as
the connectors with a dry, soft cloth soon after use.
Lengthy use of the unit in such places or not cleaning it
after its use in such places may shorten its life.
•
When cleaning the unit, never use organic solvents such
as thinners or benzine, which will damage the finish of the
unit.
•
The unit has been factory adjusted precisely. Do not
tamper with its internal parts or attempt to repair it.

Overview
The WRT-808A is a transmitter which converts a hand-held
dynamic microphone into a wireless microphone, ensuring
excellent sound quality of the microphone itself and
providing the convenience especially for Electronic News
Gathering (ENG), live and other Electronic Field Production
(EFP) applications. Combining with 800 MHz band Sony
UHF wireless microphone system, use this highly reliable
transmitter for broadcast and movie production purpose.
Wireless Channels Selectable
The transmitter and tuner of the wireless microphone system
are classified by frequency band.
A 12-MHz frequency band (or two consecutive-numbered
TV channels, such as 68 and 69 of the WRT-808A/68
model) is assigned to each transmitter and tuner model.
In building a UHF wireless microphone system, be sure to
combine a transmitter and a tuner having the same TV
channel number.
