Notice for customers in Canada:

Use of Sony wireless devices is regulated by the Industry

Canada as described in their Radio Standard Specification

RSS-123.

A licence is normally required. The local district office of

Industry Canada should therefore be contacted. When the

operation of the device is within the broadcast band, the

licence is issued on no-interference, no-protection basis with

respect to broadcast signals.

Precautions

•The unit is designed for use in ambient temperature range

of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).

•Do not place the unit on or near heat sources, such as

lighting equipment, power amplifiers, or in a place subject

to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. In such places,

the external finish or internal parts of the unit may be

damaged.

Table of Contents

•If the unit is used in a very humid or dusty place or in a

place subject to an active gas, clean its surface as well as

the connectors with a dry, soft cloth soon after use.

Lengthy use of the unit in such places or not cleaning it

after its use in such places may shorten its life.

•When cleaning the unit, never use organic solvents such

as thinner or benzine, which will damage the finish of the

unit.

•The unit has been factory adjusted precisely. Do not

tamper with its internal parts or attempt to repair it.

Introduction

The WRT-805A is a transmitter to be used in combination

with the WRR-800A/801A UHF Synthesized Diversity

Tuner for an 800 MHz band UHF synthesized wireless

microphone system for broadcast or movie production

purpose.

The WRT-805A can also be used in conventional Sony

Wireless Microphone System composed of the WRT-810A/

820A UHF Synthesized Transmitter, the WRR-810A/820A/

840A/850A UHF Synthesized Diversity Tuner, etc.

The microphone/transmitter and tuners of the wireless

microphone system are classified by frequency band.

A 12 MHz frequency band (or two consecutive-numbered

TV channels, such as 68 and 69 of the WRT-805A) is

assigned to each microphone/transmitter and tuner model.

In building up a UHF wireless microphone system, be sure

to combine a microphone/transmitter and a tuner having the

same TV channel number.

Features

Easy selection of 94 channels

The unit can operate on any one of 94 carrier frequencies

selected by a simple button operation.

Compact and lightweight

Innovative high-density mounting technology has enabled

the creation of this compact and lightweight transmitter,

which lets you move anywhere for Electronic News

Gathering (ENG) and Electronic Field Production (EFP).

The curved design of the moulded case allows a comfortable

fit to your waist.

Battery status information

This transmitter has capability of transmitting “Battery

status information” to the WRR-800A/801A/850A to give

advance warning of battery depletion.

The information is sent to the WRR-800A/801A/850A in

approx. 1 hour advance to battery exhaust so that they can

safely replace battery of the transmitter.

When the WRR-800A/801A/850A receives the information,

the LED and the LCD on the panel start flashing.

Operation powered by easily available battery

The built-in high-efficiency DC-DC converter allows stable

operation, for about 6 hours continuously, with just a single

LR6 (size AA) alkaline battery.

LCD for coordinated operation control

The LCD shows the current channel number, the residual

battery power, input attenuation setting, AF input level and

RF output.

An accumulated operation time indication is also provided

for simple control of the time of battery use (in 1-minute

increments).

Saved channel and input attenuation settings

The unit stores the channel and the input attenuation setting

when it is turned off. The saved settings are retained even if

the battery is removed. Therefore, when using the unit next

time, you need not make the same settings again.

Highly reliable electronic attenuator

The built-in input level attenuator is adjustable in a range of

0 to 21 dB in 3-dB steps. It reduces signal distortion when

an excessively strong audio signal is inputted.

RF carrier with tone signal

The unit transmits the RF carrier accompanied by a tone

signal, enabling the tuner with a tone squelch circuit to take

out only the target audio signal received.

Wide dynamic range and low noise

The compander (compressor/expander) system enables

transmission over a wide dynamic range with minimum

noise.

Audio input connector (3.5-mm dia.) with locking

mechanism

The screw-type locking mechanism ensures reliable

connection.

Compact helical antenna

The WRT-805A can transmit on any selected wireless

channel among those listed below. For channel selection, see “Changing the Channel

Selection” on page 13.

When the battery reaches stage 3 shown in the table, the

BATT indication on the WRR-800A/801A/850A also starts

flashing.

Promptly replace the battery when the indications flash.

Note

The indication may be incorrect if the battery is not new

when inserted. If you plan to use the transmitter for a long

period, it is best to replace the battery with new one.

Notes on battery

•Use a new alkaline battery.

•Be careful to insert the battery with the correct polarity.

•When not using the transmitter for a long period, remove the

battery to avoid leakage. If the battery does leak, clean all

leakage from the unit and insert a new battery. Leakage left

in the unit may cause poor battery contact. If there seems to

be poor battery contact, consult your Sony dealer.
