4000 Series Frequency-agile True Diversity UHF Wireless Systems

Audio-Technica’s upgraded 4000 Series frequency-agile UHF body-pack and handheld wireless systems bring outstanding clarity and versatility to live performance, regional touring, fixed installations and more. At the heart of the 4000 Series is a rugged True Diversity half-rack receiver, the AEW-R4100, with 996 selectable channels offered in each of two available UHF bands.

Receivers from both the 4000 and 5000 Series may be linked; they may be monitored by the 5000 Series system software. The included IntelliScan™ feature automatically determines and sets the best available frequencies on all linked receivers.

Multiple system configurations are available, with handheld vocal microphone/transmitters and UniPak® body-pack transmitters designed for use with lavalier, headworn and instrument microphones as well as electric guitars.

  • 996 selectable UHF channels per band and True Diversity reception for interference-resistant operation

  • Available in two frequency bands:
    541.500 - 566.375 MHz (TV Channels 25 - 30) and
    655.500 - 680.375 MHz (TV Channels 44 - 49)

  • IntelliScan™ feature automatically finds and sets best available frequencies on all linked receivers

  • Advanced digital Tone Lock™ squelch effectively blocks stray RF; the digitally encoded tone also communicates transmitter data for receiver display

  • Dual Compander circuitry processes high and low frequencies separately for unmatched audio quality

  • Link and coordinate multiple receiver channels

  • High-visibility white-on-blue LCD information display

  • Metal half-rack receiver chassis with mounting hardware

  • All transmitters offer rugged, ergonomic metal bodies, programmable features, soft-touch controls, and 10 mW/35 mW switchable RF power

  • Backlit LCD displays on transmitters

  • Locking battery door on UniPak body-pack transmitter

  • All components store up to five preset configurations, with customized "names" if desired

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. There are many causes of drop outs, but it is most often caused by some type of radio frequency interference (RFI). Check for TV channels in your area that are operating on the same frequency as your wireless system. Browse our web site at www.audio-technica.com for the tool "Selecting A-T Frequencies" to help determine the channels that are operating in your area. Make sure that your receiver is not close to any digital equipment such as digital effects units, CD players, A/D converters, computers and so on. These devices are known to cause problems with wireless systems. One way to check for RFI is to turn on all of your equipment, except for the transmitter, and watch the RF indicator on your receiver. If the RF indicator is registering a signal, then you are picking up RFI and will need to identify the source. Also, check the squelch setting on your receiver. The squelch circuitry helps to filter out unwanted RFI, but if it is set to tight you could be filtering your own signal, thus limiting your distance. Please note that if you are using multiple systems you will also need to choose frequencies that are compatible with each other. You should consult your user’s guide for a list of compatible frequencies. Finally, make sure that you have a clear line of site between the transmitter and the receiver. If you are still having issues, please contact our Audio Solutions team at (330) 686-2600 ext. 5000 and they can help.
Check the RF power switch (also called Battery Save switch) on your transmitter. It should be set to high power. If it is set to low power you could be loosing distance. Finally, make sure that you have a clear line of site between the transmitter and the receiver.

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. Latency is only an issue of digital devices. The 4000 series is an analog system and there is no digital processing. If any latency exists would be negligible.
