Telex Debuts UT-102 Plug-On Transmitter for ENG-100 UHF ReceiverProvides Remote Capability and Compatibility with ENG-100;
Allows Wireless Use of Various Dynamic Microphones July 25, 2001
Telex, the world leader in advanced wireless microphone systems, is announcing the availability of the UT-102 plug-on transmitter for the ENG-100 portable UHF receiver at Summer NAMM, Demo Room 2010, Level 2, Mezzanine. This top-ofthe-line, crystal-controlled, frequency-agile plug-on transmitter gives sound engineers and live broadcast engineers the versatility to convert standard wired dynamic microphones into wireless-capable transducers.
"The ENG-100 is a great system made even better by the addition of a plug-on transmitter," says Dave Egenberger, wireless product manager for Telex. "The UT-102 gives users the flexibility to use different microphones to match the individual location and application."
The UT-102 is a high-quality, frequency-agile plug-on transmitter housed in an allmetal aircraft alloy case with water-resistant seals. Although compatible with other dynamic microphones, the UT-102 is perfect for use with the EV (Electro-Voice) RE50, the world standard in broadcast interview microphones. The UT-102 also provides +6V phantom power for electret microphones. Each transmitter matches two channels on the ENG-100 receiver for easy changes in the case of interference on location. Additionally, with 4 different channel groups to choose from, you get up to 8 simultaneous users in one location. Posi-phase diversity and tone-coded squelch ensure reception in the most difficult conditions.
With a frequency response of 50 to 15,000 Hz with less than 2 percent THD (mic output), the ENG-100 provides unsurpassed performance in the 668 to 679 MHz RF frequency range within TV channels 47/48 with an RF stability rating of 0.005 percent or better. Contained in a rugged plastic housing, the receiver can be powered by two AA size alkaline batteries or by a 9 to 17 VDC external supply. A built-in phase diversity system with two antennas integral to the unit ensures reception even in crowded RF environments.
The single conversion (10.7 MHz I.F.) ENG-100 has an internal headphone amplifier and an adjustable audio output control to accommodate any situation from news gathering operations to live performance communications. The I.F.
bandwidth is 180 kHz at 3 dB points with an image rejection of 65 dB or better. Squelch is a fixed, internal 31.250 kHz tone plus amplitude-type circuit.
"Telex remains at the forefront of wireless technology by listening to our end users and providing a constantly growing number of sophisticated solutions for every application," states Egenberger. "The UT-102 is the perfect complement to our EV line of broadcast microphones. We believe the UT-102 will enjoy broad market acceptance."
