Overview; Features - Sony MB-8N Operating Instructions Manual

Overview

These operating instructions describe the MB-8N
Tuner Base Unit in which the WRU-8N UHF
Synthesized Tuner Unit (option) is installed.
Note
For the selectable wireless channels and frequencies,
refer to the Frequency Lists on the supplied CD-ROM.
Combining the MB-8N Tuner Base Unit and the
WRU-8N UHF Synthesized Tuner Unit (option)
provides a reliable UHF synthesized diversity tuner for
the Sony UHF wireless microphone system which uses
the frequency bands allocated for UHF TV
broadcasting.
The combination of the MB-8N and the WRU-8N
enables simultaneous use of multiple channels when
channels are selected according to the Sony channel
plan.
Installing four WRU-8N UHF Synthesized Tuner
Units will enable four-channel operation on the tuner.
In building up a UHF wireless microphone system, be
sure to combine a microphone/transmitter and a tuner
having the same TV channel number.
When using CE models of WRU-8N
A 24-MHz frequency band is assigned to the WRU-
8N, permitting it to operate on any of 189 (190 with
the CE67 model) receiving frequencies in 125-kHz
steps of Sony original channel plan or 960 receiving
frequencies in 25-kHz steps in the range of three TV
channels.
When using U models of WRU-8N
A 24-MHz frequency band is assigned to the WRU-
8N, permitting it to operate on any of 188 receiving
frequencies in 125-kHz steps of Sony original channel
plan in the range of four TV channels.
When using the AU model of WRU-8N
A 14-MHz frequency band is assigned to the WRU-
8N, permitting it to operate on any of 102 receiving
frequencies in 125-kHz steps of Sony original channel
plan in the range of TV channels 66 and 67.

1) When each MB-8N Tuner Base Unit has four WRU-8N
UHF Synthesizer Tuner Units installed. Note that the
receiving system consisting of the MB-8N and the AU
model ot WRU-8N allows you to simultaneously use a
maximum of 12 channels in one area.

Features

LAN function
The built-in network adapter and provided 10BASE-T
connector enables a LAN connection to a computer
running the Windows operating system. Using the
supplied MB-8N Network Controller software, it is
possible to operate an efficient system for central
control of MB-8N Tuner Base Units and WRU-8N
UHF Synthesizer Tuner Units from a computer.
Modular multichannel reception
By installing optional WRU-8N UHF Synthesized
Tuner Units, you can receive up to four channels on
one MB-8N unit.
Built-in antenna divider
With a built-in antenna divider and provided with a
cascade output connector, without requiring the
connection of an antenna divider unit, the MB-8N
Tuner Base Unit can be connected in cascade. For a
maximum of four MB-8N Tuner Base Units (16
channels 1) ), you can build a diversity receiving system
with two antennas.
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesized
system
The tuner has a refined phase locked loop (PLL)
synthesizer circuit and covers two UHF TV channels.
Preprogrammed wireless channel plan for
simultaneous multichannel operation
The tuner has many preprogrammed, easily settable
channels for simultaneous multichannel operation.
