3 General The WMS 470 wireless microphone system comprises the SR 470 stationary diversity receiver, handheld transmitters HT 470/C5 with C 5 microphone element and HT 470/D5 with D 5 microphone element, and the PT 470 bodypack transmitter. The receiver and transmitters operate in a 30 MHz subband of each frequency set within the 500 MHz to 865 MHz UHF band.
3 General 8 Infrared emitter: Transmits frequency data from the receiver to the handheld or bodypack transmitter. It also transmits the audio gain setting selected on the receiver to the handheld transmitter. The infrared emitter has a very narrow radiation angle (approx. 10°) and a maximum range of 8 inches (20 cm) to make sure only one transmitter will be tuned to the same frequency.
3 General 17 - 20, 22: Refer to section "Handheld Transmitter". 25 Antenna: Permanently connected, flexible antenna. 26 Audio input: 3-pin mini XLR connector with both mic and line level pins that automatically match the connector pinout of the recommended AKG microphones (optional) or supplied MKG L instrument cable.
4 Setting Up • Prior to setting up your WIRELESS SYSTEM, check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency, referring to sections 3.8 and 3.9. NOTICE Receiver Rack Mounting • If you install one or ore receivers into a 19" rack, either mount the supplied antennas on the receiver front panel(s) or use remote antennas. This is the only way to ensure optimum reception quality. Refer to fig. 6 on page vii. Single Receiver 1.
4 Setting Up Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other people may weaken or cancel the direct transmitter signal. Positioning the Receiver For best results, place the receiver or remote antennas as follows: • Place the receiver/antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the transmitter will never get any closer to the receiver than 10 ft (3 m). • Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter.
4 Setting Up Transmitters Inserting the Battery Refer to fig. 5 on pages iv and v. Handheld transmitter and bodypack transmitter: 1. Open the battery compartment cover (1). 2. Insert the supplied battery (2) into the battery compartment, aligning the battery with the polarity symbols. If you insert the battery the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered. 3. Close the battery compartment cover (1).
4 Setting Up Optional RMS 4000 Remote Mute Switch The optional RMS 4000 Remote Mute Switch allows you to mute the transmitter if it is mounted in a position where it is difficult or impossible to use the "on-board" MUTE switch. 1. Plug the cable (1) on the Remote Mute Switch into the REMOTE MUTE jack (2) on the transmitter. 2. Put the Remote Mute Switch in a jacket or shirt pocket or use the belt clip to clamp the Remote Mute Switch on the belt. 3.
5 Operating Notes Powering Up the Receiver Refer to fig. 1 on page iii. 1. Press the front panel POWER key to switch power to the receiver ON. The display will indicate the currently active frequency and the "LOCK" label. The receiver is in LOCK mode. If power to the transmitter is OFF or the RF level at the antennas is zero for some other reason (e.g., shadow effects), the red RF MUTE LED will be lit and the audio output will be muted.
5 Operating Notes In SETUP mode, the electronic lock is disabled so you can adjust all receiver parameters. The "LOCK" label is not shown. The following setup screens are available: - Automatic setup - Manual Group/Channel setup - Manual frequency selection - Handheld transmitter gain - Advanced functions (EXTRA menu) System Adjustments Refer to diagram on page ii. • Start by finding a clean frequency.
5 Operating Notes Programming Transmitters To program the transmitter to the frequency of the receiver: 1. Switch power to the receiver ON and select a clean frequency or GROUP/CHANNEL on the receiver. The “PRG IR” menu appears on the display: Refer to figs. 3 (page v) and 4 (page iv). Refer to figs. 10 and 11 on page vi. 2. Set the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch (19) to "MUTE/PRG". The display will alternately indicate the currently selected frequency and "PRG IR". 4.
6 Advanced Functions (EXTRA Menu) The EXTRA menu provides the following functions: NAME STATUS RHSL SQL PILOT RESET INFO EXIT receiver ID status and warning messages rehearsal function for finding dropouts squelch threshold ilot tone default settings system information screens quit submenu The "NAME" screen lets you edit the existing name of the receiver. If you have not stored a receiver name yet, you can use the "NAME" screen to assign a new name to your receiver.
6 Advanced Functions (EXTRA Menu) • To retrieve the other results press or briefly. Dropouts are indicated like this (Example 1): Example 1: Dropout no. 1 occurred after 124 seconds. • The first storage locations are assigned to dropouts, the last two for the lowest RF level and highest audio level measured (Examples 2 and 3). Example 2: Minimum RF level: -85 dB Example 3: Maximum audio level: -5 dB • The last item in the result list is followed (the first item preceded) by the "EXIT" option.
6 Advanced Functions (EXTRA Menu) Pilot Tone As long as this function is active, the received signal contains a continuous signal at a predefined frequency (a pilot tone). If the receiver detects no pilot tone, the receiver's audio output will be muted. • The HT 400, HT 450, PT 400, and PT 450 transmit no pilot tone. If you use the receiver together with these transmitters, we recommend deactivating the pilot tone.
7 Microphone Technique Handheld Transmitter A handheld vocal microphone provides many ways of shaping the sound of your voice as it is heard over the sound system. The following sections contain useful hints on how to use your handheld transmitter for best results. Working Distance and Proximity Effect Refer to fig. 13 on page vi. Basically, your voice will sound the bigger and mellower, the closer you hold the microphone to your lips.
7 Microphone Technique a 1. Unscrew the wire-mesh cap. 2. Pull the PB 1000 off the microphone capsule, slowly rotating the PB 1000 as PB 1000 you pull (a). 3. Slide the PPC 1000 on the microphone capsule to the stop, slowly rotating the PPC 1000 as you push it home (b). b PPC 1000 • When installing or removing the PPC 1000/PB 1000, make sure to grip the capsule and rubber shock mount (arrows) firmly with your thumb and forefinger to prevent the capsule being severed from the shock mount. CAUTION 1.
9 Troubleshooting Problem No sound. Possible Cause 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Noise, crackling, unwanted signals. 1. 2. Distortion. Momentary loss of sound ("dropouts") at some points within performance area. Remedy 1. Connect AC adapter to receiver and/or power outlet. 2. 3. 4. Push POWER switch to switch receiver ON. Connect receiver output to mixer or amplifier input. Connect microphone or instrument to audio input on bodypack. Tune transmitter and receiver to the same frequency.
