This 3-pin XLR connector [ ] is the microphone input. Any low imped-
ance microphone with a corresponding connector can be attached
here. If the microphone requires external (phantom) power , the 1200XT
can supply 48V. The XLR connector is wired with pin 1 is for ground,
pin 2 is audio + (and +48V when Phantom Power is ON) and pin 3 is

Thank you for selecting the Azden 1200 Series for your portable/ENG
on-camera UHF wireless needs. We are confident that these compo-
nents will perform beyond your expectations. For over 40 years Azden
Corporation has been creating technologically advanced products. By
taking advantage of the latest in CAD design and SMT production tech-
niques, Azden's engineers are able to produce products that exceed
the published specifications and perform well beyond the warranty pe-
riod.
The 1200 Series represents a breakthrough in on-camera, digital fre-
7
quency-selectable UHF receivers and transmitters. Its enhanced per-
formance assures you of the highest image rejection combined with
8
the finest in audio clarity. The crystal-controlled, PLL-synthesized mixer/
local oscillator provides for extremely accurate frequency selection while
9
the twin-antenna true diversity dual front-end reduces multipath distor-
tion caused dropouts to near zero.
In the real world of ENG the ability to be able to select a 'clear' fre-
quency on the spot is vitally important. Going out into the field with a
single-frequency unit invites disaster since there is no way of knowing
what frequencies will be used by the other crews that are covering the
same story. Think of your 1200 Series units as your insurance policy -
your assurance of getting the story.
Designed by professionals - for professionals, the 1200 Series will pro-
vide you with years of worry-free, high-quality performance.
