YSTEM VERVIEW The Williams Sound WIR TX10 Infrared Transmitter uses invisible infrared (IR) light waves to broadcast speech or music to wireless infrared receivers. The TX10 accepts a balanced or unbalanced line level audio input and emits an invisible infrared 95 kHz or 250 kHz frequency throughout the listening area. Infrared receivers detect the transmission and convert the light signals back into audio signals.
Important: Remember to point the transmitter towards the listening audience! Remember: opaque objects block infrared light. Thus, transmitters cannot be concealed behind opaque walls, curtains, etc. Neither should transmitters be used in areas of extreme high or low temperatures, humidity, or chemical environments. ® Williams Sound Helping People Hear...

If you’re not getting sufficient coverage with a single, properly installed TX10 Transmitter, you’ll need to add WIR TX8 Emitters to achieve full coverage of your listening area (see page 16, Using Multiple Emitters). Figures 5a and 5b illustrate how multiple emitters can be used for large room installations. ® Williams Sound Helping People Hear...

UDIO OURCE ONNECTION The WIR TX10 accepts audio signals from balanced or unbalanced line level outputs, transmitting audio with excellent fidelity. Therefore, be sure to connect its input to the highest quality audio source your system can offer. Step 1: Determine the length of cable needed to reach from the audio source to the TX10 Transmitter.

UDIO NPUT The WIR TX10's input circuit is constructed with a differential amplifier, providing better performance than that available using a transformer. It is fully protected from RFI/EMI. Both balanced and unbalanced line level signals can be accommodated. The minimum acceptable level is approximately 100 mV, and the maximum level before clipping is approximately 10 V.

Infrared receiver performance can be degraded if this system is used in close proximity to high-efficiency lighting equipment with solid state ballasts (i.e. high efficiency fluorescent) that operate at frequencies with harmonics near 95 kHz. 250 kHz operation should be used when this occurs. ® Williams Sound Helping People Hear...
