Pro Series 3

Overview

Pro Series 3

The Pro Series 3 Wireless has been discontinued and replaced with the Audio-Technica System 8 VHF Wireless Systems. Pro Series 3 systems provide rock-solid performance, easy operation and clear sound quality. Available in handheld, headworn, guitar, lavalier and body-pack configurations, the Pro Series 3 Wireless Systems are single-channel, fixed-frequency systems available in three VHF travelling frequencies (169.505, 170.245, and 171.905 MHz) that operate outside the range of US broadcast television. All three fixed-frequency systems work together with no interference from TV channels, and no frequency coordination is required. Each Pro Series 3 Wireless System includes a PRO-R300 receiver and either a body-pack transmitter or handheld microphone/ transmitter. The PRO-R300 is a non-diversity, single-channel receiver with advanced dipole antenna design for extended operating range, which improves operation by providing a ground element in addition to the usual signal element. The PRO-R300 also offers volume control along with AF Peak, RF and Power indicator lights. All components fit conveniently in an included rugged case, ideal for storage and use on the road.

Notes	CONSUMER ALERT Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.
