INTRODUCTION Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the OWI CRS-101 Infrared Wireless Microphone System. This compact system is suitable for Classrooms, Training rooms, Conference rooms and for Public speaking. The CRS System is an Infrared (IR) Wireless system that allows the speaker the freedom to move about the room without the restriction of a microphone cable. The two included CRS-IRS IR Sensors allow use of several options of microphones.
CRS-CASE FEATURES Figure 1. CRS-CASE Top View - Door Closed CRS-CASE CABINET FEATURES 1. DOOR LOCK – Locks the CRS-CASE Door to keep unauthorized fingers off the system controls and settings. Also allows safe storage of the Pendant, Headset and Lapel Microphones. Figure 2. CRS-CASE Bottom View 2. MOUNTING KEYHOLES – Two screw keyholes for securing the CRS-CASE to a wall or shelf.
Figure 3. CRS-CASE Front Panel CRS-CASE FRONT PANEL FEATURES The CRS-CASE Front Panel features all of the controls for the CRS-101 System. 3. POWER SWITCH – One, two position toggle switch turns the power mains to the CRS-CASE ON/OFF. 4. STORAGE SPACE – Internal compartment allows safe storage of the Pendant, Headset and Lapel Microphones. 5. WIRE ACCESS – Space in the CRS-CASE cabinet allows connection to an external audio source and two wired microphones, with the door closed. 6.
Figure 4. CRS-CASE Inside Panel CRS-CASE INSIDE PANEL FEATURES An external audio source such as a CD/DVD Player, computer, projector, cable, satellite, etc and standard unbalanced, low impedance wired microphones can be connected to the Inside Panel. 11. LINE IN – Two, RCA Jacks connect to the L & R line-level audio outputs on a stereo audio source. NOTE: The CRS will output BOTH channels to BOTH Speakers (mono). Use either channel for a mono source. 12. TV/DVD – One, mono ¼” phone jack (6.
Figure 6. CRS-CASE Bottom Side Panel CRS-CASE BOTTOM SIDE PANEL FEATURES 17. AC POWER CORD – One, three prong AC cord connects to a standard 110VAC/60Hz outlet. Provides AC power to the CRS-101. Figure 7. CRS-IRS IR Sensor CRS-IRS IR SENSOR FEATURES 18. MINI PLUG – One, 3.5mm mini plug connects to one of the three IR Sensor Jacks on the CRSCASE Side Panel. 19.
Figure 8. CRS-HHMIC Hand Held Microphone (Optional) CRS-HHMIC HAND HELD MICROPHONE FEATURES (Optional) The HHMIC Hand Held Microphone is an optional accessory that can be used for presentations or can be passed around the room for Q&A so everyone in the room can clearly hear questions from the class or audience. NOTE 1: The CRS-HHMIC is an optional accessory and must be purchased separate from the CRS-101.
Figure 9. CRS-PMIC Pendant Mic/Charger CRS-PMIC PENDANT MIC/CHARGER FEATURES The CRS-PMIC Pendant Microphone can be used as a wireless microphone itself or as an IR Transmitter when used with the Lapel or Headset Mics. 26. MIC INPUT – One, 3.5mm mini jack connects to the mini plug on either the CRS Lapel Mic or Headset Mic. When either is connected to this jack, it overrides the Pendant Microphone, so only the Lapel Mic or Headset Mic will be active. 27.
Figure 10. CRS-LMIC Lapel Mic CRS-LMIC LAPEL MIC FEATURES The CRS-LMIC Lapel Microphone is used with the Pendant Mic for inconspicuous hands-free presentations. 34. MICROPHONE – Detects audible sound such as voice. Should be positioned as close to the speaker’s mouth as possible. 35. LAPEL CLIP – Attaches the Lapel Microphone to a jacket lapel, shirt or blouse. 36. MINI PLUG - Connects to the MIC Input on the CRS-PMIC Pendant.
Figure 11. CRS-HSMIC Headset Mic (Optional) CRS-HSMIC HEADSET MIC FEATURES (Optional) The CRS-HSMIC Lapel Microphone is used with the Pendant Mic and is another option for hands-free presentations. NOTE: The CRS-HSMIC is an optional accessory and must be purchased separate from the CRS-101. 37. MICROPHONE – Detects audible sound such as voice. Should be positioned as close to the speaker’s mouth as possible. 38. MIC BOOM – Adjustable mic boom allows the microphone to be set to the optimum position.
Figure 12. Typical Classroom Application INSTALLATION CRS-CASE The CRS-CASE can be wall or shelf mounted. It should be located in a central location that allows the IR Sensors to be equally spread in the classroom for optimum visibility to the microphones. Consideration should also be given to locating the CRS-CASE in close proximity to any audio source that will be connected to the Line In, such as a CD/DVD Player, Projector, Computer, VCR, Cable, Satellite, etc.
Wall Mount The CRS-CASE has two screw keyholes on the Bottom Panel that allow it to be secured to a wall or cabinet. (Figure 2) Whenever possible, the screws for the keyholes should be secured to a wood panel instead of drywall to avoid having the screws work loose over time after repeated use of the CRS. If use of a wood panel is not possible or desirable, use screw anchors to secure the mounting screws to the drywall.
Figure 14. Typical CRS System Connections CONNECTIONS The CRS-101 System requires only a few simple connections and sets up in minutes. The only required connections are the IR Sensors, Speakers and Power Cord. Connecting an optional audio source such as a CD/DVD Player, VCR, Computer, Projector, Cable, Satellite, etc is also simple using standard RCARCA audio patch cables. IR Sensors 1. Connect the CRS-IRS IR Sensor mini plugs to any two of the three IR Sensor Inputs on the CRSCASE Side Panel. Speakers 1.
Line In 1. Connect the left and right line level audio outputs of an audio source to the L and R Inputs on the CRS-CASE using a stereo RCA-RCA patch cable with gold ends. NOTE: Though the CRS has Left and Right Inputs, the Speaker Outputs are mono, so BOTH channels will be output from BOTH speakers. 2. Feed the audio patch cable through the Wire Access in the CRS-CASE Cabinet to allow connection with the door closed. TV/DVD 1.
OPERATION 1. IF TURNING THE SYSTEM ON FOR THE FIRST TIME, turn the VOL Knobs all the way down (full counterclockwise). 2. With all system connections confirmed, press the Power Switch to turn the system ON. 3. If using the Lapel or Headset Mic, connect to the Pendant as shown in Figure 16. Be sure the Pendant is pointing toward the IR Sensors so the IR Pulses from the Pendant will be ‘seen’ by the IR Sensors. 4. Turn the Hand Held Microphone (or Pendant) ON. 5.
