Quick Overview of System Operation Thank you for purchasing this Audio-Technica 1800 Series Single-channel Camera-mount UHF Wireless Microphone System. All 1800 Series Single-channel systems are designed primarily to be used with video cameras, with the ATW-R1810 Receiver mounted on a camera and connected to the camera's audio input; they may also be used with other components equipped with microphone-level input. First, insert batteries. (See Receiver Battery Installation, page 8.
ATW-R1810 Single-channel Receiver Controls (front panel) 2 6 1 3 5 2 4 LCD 1 Liquid Crystal Display shows battery status and frequency settings. Antenna Input Jacks 2 BNC-type antenna connectors. Attach the antennas to the antenna input jacks. Make certain that during operation there is a clear open-air path between the receiver antennas and the transmitters.
(rear panel) 7 10 8 9 11 PIN 1 Balanced Audio Output Jack: TA3M-type connector. Pin 1: ground (shield); Pin 2: “audio +”; 7 Output Pin 3: “audio –”. A standard 2-conductor shielded cable can be used to connect the receiver output to a balanced microphone-level input on a camera, mixer or integrated amplifier. Controls the output level of the receiver. Turn clockwise to increase output level.
ATW-R1810 Single-channel Receiver Batteries Battery Selection Each ATW-R1810 Single-channel Receiver uses four 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkaline type is recommended. Always replace all batteries. Make certain the receiver power is Off before replacing batteries. Note: The ATW-R1810 receiver also functions without batteries if connected to an external power supply (12V DC source, 500 mA nominal current, not included). Battery Installation 1.
Operating the Receiver NOTE: Transmitter-Receiver pairs must be set to identical frequencies. Overview… Selecting Frequencies 1. To turn the receiver on, press and hold the Power/Set button until the Power LED lights, and on your Receiver the LCD window comes on (about 2-3 seconds).
