Introducció
The Senal AWS-2000P-B is a robust plug-on transmitter engineered for seamless integration with Senal's AWS-2000-B advanced wireless microphone system. This device enables reliable wireless transmission for any XLR microphone, making it ideal for diverse applications such as concerts, theater productions, houses of worship, electronic news gathering (ENG), conferences, and interviews.
Constructed with a durable metal body, the AWS-2000P-B provides 48V phantom power via its XLR 3-pin connector and offers an impressive operating range of up to 500 feet (152.4 meters) through its variable RF power output. It supports power via AA batteries, rechargeable NiMH batteries, or USB connection, with convenient in-device USB charging. Key features include a pilot tone for minimizing RF interference, an adjustable input level for precise gain-staging, and a selectable 100 Hz low-cut filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise. The high-contrast OLED display ensures clear visibility of battery status and settings in various lighting conditions.

Configuració
1. Alimentació del dispositiu
The AWS-2000P-B can be powered using two AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH) or via a Micro-USB connection. To install batteries, slide open the battery compartment cover located on the side of the unit (refer to the image showing the open battery compartment). Insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators. For USB power or charging, connect a standard Micro-USB cable to the port on the side of the transmitter.
2. Connecting a Microphone
The transmitter features an XLR 3-pin connector. To connect your microphone, align the XLR connector of your microphone with the input on the AWS-2000P-B and push firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure a secure connection for optimal audio transmission. The transmitter automatically supplies 48V phantom power to compatible condenser microphones.
3. Initial Pairing with AWS-2000 Receiver
For initial setup, ensure your Senal AWS-2000-B receiver is powered on. The AWS-2000P-B operates within the B frequency range (554 to 586 MHz). Consult your AWS-2000-B receiver manual for specific instructions on frequency scanning and pairing. The transmitter utilizes a 32.768 kHz pilot tone for stable communication with the receiver.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Navigating the OLED Display
The OLED display provides real-time information on battery status, frequency group/channel, and active settings. Use the 'SET' button to enter menu options and confirm selections. The 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons are used to navigate through menu items and adjust values. The 'Power' button turns the unit on/off and can also be used to exit menus.
2. Adjusting Input Level
To optimize audio quality and prevent distortion, adjust the input level of the transmitter to match your microphone's output. Access the input level setting through the menu on the OLED display. The reference input level is -20 dBV. Monitor the audio levels on your receiver to ensure proper gain staging.
3. Activating Low-Cut Filter
The AWS-2000P-B features a selectable 100 Hz low-cut filter. This filter helps to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise such as stage rumble, handling noise, or HVAC system hum. Activate or deactivate this feature via the transmitter's menu as needed for your recording environment.
4. Selecting RF Power Output
The transmitter offers selectable RF power output options: 30 mW for extended range and 5 mW for shorter distances or when operating in close proximity to other wireless systems to minimize interference. Choose the appropriate power setting based on your operating environment and regulatory requirements.
Manteniment
1. Cura de la bateria
When using AA batteries, ensure they are inserted correctly. If using rechargeable NiMH batteries, you can conveniently recharge them directly in the unit via the Micro-USB port. Always remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
2. Neteja
Clean the exterior of the transmitter with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components. Keep the XLR connector free of dust and debris.
3. Emmagatzematge
Store the AWS-2000P-B in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect it from physical shock and excessive moisture. If storing for long periods, remove batteries.
Resolució de problemes
- Sense energia: Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and charged, or that the USB cable is properly connected and providing power. Check battery status on the OLED display.
- Sense transmissió d'àudio: Verify that the transmitter is paired with the correct receiver channel and frequency. Check the microphone connection and ensure it is functioning. Adjust the input level on the transmitter.
- Interferència/Senyal deficient: Try changing the operating frequency on both the transmitter and receiver. Ensure there are no obstructions between the transmitter and receiver. Select the higher RF power output (30 mW) if range is an issue.
- Àudio distorsionat: Reduce the input level on the transmitter. Ensure the microphone is not overdriving the input. Check for strong RF interference.
