TX8 Emitters which use invisible infrared (IR) light waves to broadcast speech or music to wireless infrared receivers. The MOD 112 accepts a variety of audio inputs and sends 95 kHz and 250 kHz frequency modulated signals to the TX8 Emitter via coaxial cable. The emitter emits invisible infrared light into the listening area.

10,000 square feet (930 square meters). When two signals are sent to the TX8 (as is the case when the MOD 112 is in Stereo mode or in Discrete mode when both channels are in use), the TX8 divides its power among the two signals. This makes for a practical coverage area of about 3,767 square feet (350 square meters) or about 350 average theater seats.

Plug the power supply into an AC outlet. ASEBAND ABLE ONNECTION The MOD 112 drives one emitter. The TX8 repeats the baseband signal, so any number of emitters can be used. The modulator outputs CANNOT be split with CATV splitters. UDIO ONNECTION The MOD 112 accepts audio signals from industry-standard low impedance microphones, balanced lines, and unbalanced lines.

YSTEM Step 1: After the baseband cable, power cables, and audio source are connected, turn the MOD 112 power switch on. The green power LED on the front of the MOD 112 should light. Step 2: Make sure the sound system is on and your audio source is active. Adjust the Audio Level Control.

If this modulator is connected to other modulators for additional channels, their carriers are not emitted by the LED, and must be monitored at those modulators. ® Williams Sound Helping People Hear...
UDIO NPUTS The MOD 112’s inputs accepts any low impedance microphone or line level signal. The input circuit is constructed with a “studio grade” differential amplifier, providing better performance than that available using a transformer. It is also fully protected from RFI/EMI.

30 hours. Rechargeable AA batteries will last about 15 hours per charge. If you are using BAT 026 rechargeable batteries, use the CHG 200A Multi-Charger. Contact your dealer or Williams Sound for details. If the sound becomes weak or distorted, replace the batteries. The indicator light may still be on, even with weak batteries.
ECEIVERS OISY Hold a receiver in front of the Infrared Test LED on the front of the MOD 112 modulator and listen to the signal. If the signal is weak and noisy here, check the Input Level switch and Input Level Control settings. Increase the input signal level from the sound system by turning up a mixer control.
