Important Safety Instructions

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, DO NOT EXPOSE THE BOTTOM

OF THE TRANSMITTER OR RECEIVER TO RAIN, MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. PLEASE ENSURE THAT

NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, ARE PLACED ON THE TRANSMITTER OR RECEIVER.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. FOLLOW ALL

WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT.

POWER SOURCE

To avoid any malfunctions of the unit, and to protect against electrical shock, re or physical injury,

please observe the following:

This system has been designed to work with 100-240 volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other•

than that may create a safety and re hazard and may damage the system. If you are unsure of the type of

power supply to your home, consult your local dealer or power company.

Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug. A polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than the•

other. The wide blade is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult

an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them.•

Damaged or deformed power cords are hazardous and should be replaced immediately by a qualied service technician.•

LOCATION

Air vents are provided in the cabinet to prevent the build up of excessive temperatures inside the unit. Do•

not place the unit in closed spaces, cover it with anything, or otherwise block the vents.

Keep the units away from heat sources such as re pits, heating vents, central heating radiators and electric•

heaters. Never expose to continuous direct sunlight.

Keep the unit away from strong magnetic elds.•

CARE

The unit is splash proof only. Do not submerge in water.•

Do not insert or drop anything into the unit through the air vents as this could cause serious damage,•

possibly resulting in re.

Do not place any object containing water or other liquids on the unit. In the event that liquid should enter•

the cabinet, unplug the unit at once and contact the retailer or service center immediately.

Do not remove the cabinet. Touching parts inside the cabinet could result in electrical shock and damage to the unit.•

Unplug the unit and the AC power adapter from the electrical outlet during lightning storms or when•

unused for long periods of time to prevent damage.

To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the unit, do not handle the transmitter, receiver, external•

antenna, connecting cables or AC power adapter with wet hands.

The AC power adapter receives power as long as it is connected to the electrical outlet, even if the power switch on•

the unit is turned off. Always remove the AC power adapter from the electrical outlet before inspecting the adapter.

Use only the AC power adapter suppiled with the unit. This adapter is designed specically for the unit.•

NON-USE PERIODS

ALWAYS turn the power OFF when not in use. When left unused for long periods of time, the unit should•

be unplugged from the AC outlet.

VOLUME CONTROL

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low level input or no audio signal. The•

speaker may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.

CLEANING

Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use any cleansing agents or solvents. Unplug the•

product from the wall outlet before cleaning.

SERVICE

Do not open the cabinet of any components. There are no user-serviceable components in the product.•

Opening the cabinets may present a shock hazard, and any modication to the product will void your

warranty.

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. If water or any metal objects such as paper clips, wire or staples•

accidentally fall inside, disconnect the unit from the power source immediately and consult an authorized

service center.

Thank you for purchasing your Airfonix™ dual band Smart Channel™ wireless system. Airfonix

professional wireless audio products offer the exibility to arrange your wireless audio system to suit

your current needs. You can easily expand your system by adding models to accommodate specic

venues or location requirements. Use a combination of at least two of these products (one T Series

wireless transmitter with one R Series wireless receiver) to create the perfect wireless solution.

This manual covers the features, setup, and use for the following models:

In addition to this manual, you will nd a Quick Start Guide for each component you have purchased.

Although these products are designed for easy operation, before you start we suggest you take the

time to review these manuals to fully understand and take advantage of all the features in this system.

Introduction

Airfonix redenes wireless audio with the industry’s most advanced products for the professional and

semi-pro audio markets. The products deliver uncompressed, 24-bit HDTV-compliant audio at 48 KHz

sampling rate and are designed to retrot any active or passive speaker, thereby bringing the freedom

of wireless capability to any wired audio system.

Airfonix products boast Smart Channel capability, a patent-pending technology developed by SST that

automatically searches for and selects an uncongested channel from both the 2.4 GHz and 4.9-5.8 GHz

ISM bands. Because of this unique dual-band operation and Smart Channel capability, Airfonix products

are virtually impervious to interference from co-located wireless equipment. The result is clean, true

HDTV audio delivered wirelessly with the industry’s most sophisticated transmission system developed

especially for the stringent demands of professional users.

Every wireless system consists of at least two components–a transmitter and a receiver, both of which

must be paired and tuned to the same channel. Select the T Series transmitter that suits your audio

source input preferences, either model AFX-19PT002 or AFX-19PT102. You may connect two different

audio sources to each of these models and switch between them by remote control or by using the

button on the top of the unit.

The Airfonix R Series receivers are designed to retrot any active or passive speaker, bringing the

freedom of wireless capability to any wired audio system. If your venue is large, with the speakers placed

far apart, dock a receiver to each speaker.

The R Series receivers can be mounted to your speakers with the included hardware or sit vertically

using the stands. If your speakers are close together, select either R Series model AFX-19PR001 for

active (powered) speakers or R Series model AFX-19AR050 for passive speakers. If your speakers are

placed farther apart, use one R Series receiver for each speaker.

All units will be secure when you properly pair your transmitter with your receivers. You may use two

receivers with each transmitter and setup different channels for up to four wireless systems within a 150

foot range.

The system will accommodate 4 to 8 ohms output. Any system with 70V will not work with these products.

Planning Your Installation

IMPORTANT: The analog (AUX) inputs include Hi-Level In, Balance In and L and

R RCA jack inputs. Connect your audio source to ONLY one of these inputs.

Possible Audio Sources include stereo receivers, DVD players, CD players, digital TVs, professional mixing

consoles, gaming products, computers, iPods, MP3s or any product with a speaker output connection.

Scenario 1: One Transmitter with One AFX-19AR050 Passive Receiver, One Zone Stereo

Scenario 2: One Transmitter with Two AFX-19AR050 Passive Receivers, Two Zones Mono

The following examples will illustrate the versatility of the Airfonix wireless system. These illustrations are

designed to demonstrate some of the many installations possible.

Since all receivers are lightweight, compact and designed with a rugged, weatherized industrial chassis

for outdoor use, you can easily move the components from indoor to outdoor sites and recongure

them for different venues or situations.

The R Series receivers include weather shields to further protect your components. All models can be

easily mounted to speakers or walls with the included mounting hardware, rest on a at surface such as a

rack mount or stand vertically using the included stands.

Each T Series transmitter has two channels, allowing you to connect two audio sources and switch back

and forth with the included remote control. Most of the illustrations show this option, however in many

situations you will only use one source.
