3 Figure 1. Basic principles of FM transmission and reception Introduction: The art and science of wireless microphone design have progressed in recent years to a point where reliable and flexible performance can be taken for granted in even the most complex venues.
4 FM has been used for broadcast transmission of high quality audio since the mid-1950s, and its primary advantages are wide audio bandwidth and relative freedom from external electrical disturbances as compared to AM (amplitude modulation).
5 Noise Considerations: Monophonic FM broadcast transmission normally has a very high signal-to-noise ratio because of relatively high signal strength and high modulation index.
Another technique for minimizing noise under marginal operating conditions is known as squelching . When the level of the incoming RF signal drops below a certain threshold, the system becomes prone to interference and may even pick up spurious signals.
7. Color coded rings (part number CCS-1): Included in the package is a set of color coded rings and matching rectangular snap-on color chips. These accessories help you keep track of which microphone corresponds to which receiver .
3. Mute indicator: When this red status light is on, the system is muted, indicating low or no RF signal from the transmitter . The squelch action operates with a pilot tone from the transmitter and requires no manual adjustment at the receiver .
T rying Out the System: A T ypical Setup: Now that you have been introduced to the basic functions of the WMS 61 and 81 units, let’ s proceed with a typical setup. W e’ll choose the bodypack and use it with a clip-on lapel microphone such as the AKG Model CK 77 WR-L.
Using Handheld T ransmitters: The same setup routine and precautions as we used for the bodypack apply here as well. Since a given handheld transmitter may be used by a number of speakers it is recommended that the initial checkout be made using the loudest of the speakers to ensure that the system can handle those maximum speech peaks.
