    BRC-101 and BRC-202 drop-in chargers are for the handheld (IRH-30) and pendant transmitter (IRT-89). The single slot (BRC-101) can charge either or the dual (BRC-202) can charge both simultaneously. In addition, both have a tray to insert two “AA” batteries for recharging. Infrared Transmitters Sapphire (IRT-55) The Sapphire’s vocal clarity is unsurpassed.
  • Page 7 Crescent (IRT-30) Crescent lightweight microphone/transmitter designed to be worn under the chin suspended by an adjustable lanyard.

The Crescent provides an auxiliary input (3.5mm) to accommodate the insertion of an iPod™...
  • Page 8 Body-Pack Transmitter (IRB-30), usually worn on the waistband, is the component that transmits the IR signal to the sensor. The IRB-30 has 10 emitting diodes on its front panel and is powered by two rechargeable NiMH batteries. Controls include a power “on/off” switch and a mic gain control.
  • Page 9 Collar Microphone (CM-838) is a flexible rod that is formed around the neck. The end with microphone windscreen then contoured up toward the mouth. The cord exits the rod in the center in back, out of the way, and is plugged into the body-pack. The collar mic utilizes a unidirectional mic element to minimize feedback and renders quality voice reproduction.
  • Page 10 Speakers: Ceiling Speaker (SP-628) is an extended frequency range 6” co-axial speaker housed in a metal back can sealed to the trim ring to form an infinite baffle enclosure. A screw terminal strip provides the external speaker connection. The speakers are equipped with three quick mount clamps for easymounting into a blind hole.
