Overview

The WRR-805A is a highly reliable portable tuner for the

800 MHz band Sony UHF wireless microphone system to be

used for broadcast or movie production purposes.

This tuner is suitable for Electronic News Gathering (ENG)

and Electronic Field Production (EFP).

Features

Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesized system

The WRR-805A has a refined phase locked loop (PLL)

synthesizer circuit.

Preprogrammed wireless channel plans for simultaneous

multi channel operation

The WRR-805A has many preprogrammed channel groups,

meaning combination of wireless channels to permit

simultaneous operation of multiple channels without

intermodulation.

Any available group and channel can be selected with a

simple button operation.

Compact and lightweight

Mounting technology and the versatile soft case enable this

compact and lightweight tuner, which lets you move

anywhere for Electronic News Gathering (ENG) and

Electronic Field Production (EFP).

Remote battery alarm from transmitter

This tuner has capability of receiving “Battery status

information” from the transmitter WRT-805A/822A to

make advance warning of battery depletion.

The information is sent in approx. one hour advance to

battery exhaust so that you can safely replace the batteries of

the transmitter.

Operation powered by easily available batteries

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

operation, for about 6 hours continuously, with two LR6

(size AA) alkaline batteries.

LCD for coordinated operation control

The built-in CPU controls operation of the unit, including

the PLL circuit function. The LCD shows the current

channel number/frequency, the residual battery power, AF

output level and RF input level.

An accumulated operation time indication is also provided for

simple control of the time of battery use (in one-minute

increments).

Saved channel setting

The unit stores the channel setting when it is turned off. The

saved settings are retained even if the batteries are removed.

Therefore, when using the unit next time, you need not

make the same settings again.

Overview

Wireless Channels Selectable

Note

This product is designed to give excellent interference free

operation in multi-channel systems. To maintain this, Sony

recommends that one of the original Sony groups, number

11, 12, 13, A1, A2, A3, L1, L2, M1, M2, H1 or H2 is

selected.

These groups will offer excellent performance, free from

mutual interference from other Sony wireless microphone

transmitters in the selected group when used under the

recommended operating conditions.

Group 00 is used to scan for open channels, or to use only

for a one channel system.

Each “wireless channel” is represented by a 2-digit TV

channel number followed by another 2-digit number, for

example: 66-01.

Wide dynamic range

The compander (compressor expander) system enables

stable reception over a wide dynamic range.

Output monitoring

The audio output can be monitored through headphones

(either of stereo or monaural). The monitoring level is

adjustable.

Muting switch for noise elimination

System Configuration

The WRR-805A can be used with the WRT-805A/820A/

822A/860A UHF synthesized transmitter or the WRT-810A/

830A/867A UHF synthesized wireless microphone.

Sony 800 MHz band system models

a) For this models, the AN-820A UHF antenna and the WD-820A UHF

antenna divider are required.

Group 00: All channel access

Use to scan for open channels.

Use only for a one channel system.

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.

•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 thinners 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.
