    This system represents well over 20 years of manufacturing experience in wireless microphones, and almost 70 years of design experience. It is the best value avail- able today. You will find that the H175DC radiates more power than other standard handheld wireless microphones. This provides both greater operational range, as well as improved signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Page 4: General Description

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION The H175DC is a “plug-on” transmitter that converts any microphone with an XLR connector to wireless operation. The transmitter is comprised of four major functional subsystems: the mic preamp/gain control, the compandor, the compressor/limiter and the RF transmitter (see block diagram below).
  • Page 5: Controls And Functions

    CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS The H175DC may be used with a wide variety of microphones. The 3-pin XLR type connector on the H175DC allows the transmitter to be used with any dynamic microphone, as well as many two wire positive bias lavalier systems (such as those systems supplied by Lectrosonics.)

  • Page 8: Battery Replacement

    BATTERY REPLACEMENT The H175DC transmitter is powered by a standard alkaline 9 Volt battery. It is important that you use ONLY an ALKA- LINE battery for longest life. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy duty” or “long-lasting” are not adequate. They will provide only about 4 hours of operation. Similarly, nicad rechargeable batteries only give 4 hours of opera- tion, and will also run down quite abruptly.
