900 MHz Stereo Audio Receiver Model AR900-32 Introduction / Product Descriptions Model AT900-32 from Applied Wireless, Inc. is a high quality transmitter designed to broadcast excellent quality low noise stereo audio from any line level source, to the Applied Wireless model AR900-32 receiver. The...
(such as a directional flat panel or Yagi) to increase operating range (please contact Applied Wireless for a selection of available antennas). The AT900-32 transmitter and the AR900-32 receiver are well-suited for many diverse applications, including distribution of audio entertainment content throughout a building, home theater installations, commercial and industrial surveillance, monitoring, security, etc.

Figure 2 – AR900-32 Receiver (Rear Panel) Connecting Power to the Transmitter and Receiver The AT900-32 and the AR900-32 each require an external power source of between 7.5 and 18 volts DC. A plug-in 120VAC-to-9VDC power converter is supplied with each unit. Insert the power converter’s 2.1mm plug into the jack on the unit’s rear panel (refer to Figures 1 and...

Figure 3 – AT900-32 Transmitter (Front Panel) Selecting the Channel of Operation (Receiver) The AT900-32 provides 32 user-selectable channels. Referring to Figure 4 and Table 1, use the buttons on the unit’s front panel to DOWN select the desired channel.
“33” to “99” (inclusive) is the same as channel 32. NOTE 2: If the AT900-32 and AR900-32 will be used along with an Applied Wireless video transmitter and receiver (models VT900-3 and VR900-3), the channel for the audio units must be at least 9MHz above or below the channel of the video units, to prevent interference between the RF signals.
IMPORTANT! Properly setting the transmitter’s modulation level is CRITICAL to satisfactory operation of the transmitter, and receiver. If the level is set too low, the receiver will likely be plagued with objectionable background noise (hiss). If the level is set too high, distorted audio and/or interference on adjacent channels is likely to result.

Internal Settings The AT900-32 transmitter and the AR900-32 receiver each have internal jumpers and/or switches (on their respective printed circuit boards) that are preset at the factory to provide the proper configuration for most applications. The following sections describe these settings, and provide guidelines for when it may be necessary or desirable to modify them.

Noise Reduction (Transmitter and Receiver) The transmitter and receiver are each equipped with active noise reduction circuits that minimize objectionable background noise (or “hiss”) which might otherwise be noticeable during periods of silence, such as the pause between tracks on a CD. These circuits are normally enabled (factory default).
