1. Introduction LTO MOD-16 wireless systems have been designed for Vocalists, Presenters and performing Musicians. These wireless systems are based on a sophisticated and innovative PLL circuit but, at the same time, are worry-free and easy to use. Large back lighted displays are available both on the Receiver and the Transmitters and simple Menus allow for a large number of functions such as Frequency Select, Sensitivity, Muting, etc.
Type: Dynamic Mic. Frequency response: 50Hz~16kHz( 3dB) Impedance: 300 20% at 1kHz Sensitivity: -71dB 3dB Direction: Omni-directional MOD-16P A bodypack transmitter with belt clip. The MOD-16P transmitter will come with either: 1.A cable to be connected to an electric guitar or bass 2.A Lavalier Microphone. This is the little "bug" to be clipped on ties, shirts, nipples, etc. 3.
HM-38, Condenser microphone Preset impedance: 600ohm; Freq. response: 80-12KHz; Sensitivity: -68dB+/-3dB at 1KHz; Directional: Uni-directional; Weight: 52g (0.12Ib) LM-10, Clip microphone Preset impedance: 680ohm; Freq. response: 50-12KHz; Sensitivity: -65dB 3dB at 1KHz Directional: 12 180mm ( 0.47" 7.1") Weight: 22g(0.049Ib) 2. Features FEATURES OF MOD-16PRO, PLL UHF DIVERSITY RECEIVER The friendly User Interface including two digit displays and intuitive MENU system for easy operation.
3. Control Elements: Ok, enough with numbers. Let's start to familiarize with your MOD-16 System. First of all, the MOD-16PRO Receiver: 3.1 MOD-16PRO, PLL UHF Diversity Receiver FRONT PANEL 9 4 3 5 2 7 8 1 9 6 1 Power Switch: We are afraid you can not use the MOD-16R if you don't switch the Power ON! 2 UP/DOWN Keys: You can adjust the right values through these two keys once the MENU is activated. 3 DISPLAY: This double digit display shows you the number of channel operating on your MOD-16PRO.
8 Volume Control: This knob sets the audio signal level outputted through the balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel. Turn the knob clockwise fully for the max volume, and turn the knob counterclockwise fully for the min volume. 9 Antenna Input Sockets: Includes 2 antennas to secure the Diversity function. For optimal radio reception antennas should be placed vertically. You can fold the antennas inward for convenience of transportation.
1 Front Grill: This spring steel mesh grill will protect the microphone capsule during a live performance. Especially made for heavy metal players, alcohol, drugs, etc.. 2 LCD Display: This nice blue LCD will indicate the current operation status. 3 CH/ON Key: If you press this key for a few seconds your Transmitter will switch ON and OFF. Once you have switched the unit ON, just press this key again slightly and you can edit various parameters such as CHANNEL, GROUP, RF POWER LEVEL and LOCK/UNLOCK.
3.3 MOD-16P, Body Pack Transmitter 3 4 1 2 5 7 6 8 1. LCD display: This nice blue LCD will indicate the current operation status. 2. CH-ON Key: If you press this key for a few seconds your Transmitter will switch ON and OFF. Once you have switched the unit ON, just press this key again slightly and you can edit various parameters such as CHANNEL, GROUP, RF POWER LEVEL and LOCK/UNLOCK.
7 Belt Clip: It is a detachable belt clip for easy carry during the live applications. 8 Antenna: It is a flexible antenna. To get effective transmission, never cover the antenna with hand, clothes, etc during the operation, and always position the transmitter nearby the receiver. OK, if so far you remember all the functions and features of your Mod16 System you are ready to operate the Unit. Let's start from the Receiver: 4. Operation 4.
4.2 For the MOD-16H/16P transmitters And now that you know how to operate your Mod16PRO Receiver, let's learn how to use the MOD-16 Transmitters. The following instructions apply both to the handheld version and to the bodypack version. There are 2 keys on the Transmitter labelled CH/ON and SELECT. Press the CH/ON key for a few seconds and the transmitter will be powered ON.
- RF Output Power Select Your Transmitter can operate on three different levels of output power. These are different form the Handheld Model and the Bodypack model.
- Mute Function Sometimes, there are things that you want to tell to your Friends on stage or your near by Companion during a Meeting but not necessarily to the rest of the world especially if you are live on CNN... A smart feature on your Transmitter allows you to easily MUTE the microphone so you are free to talk to the people next to you without the rest of the world hearing what you say.
microphone capsules for their wireless systems but this flexibility is far behind the wide choice of tones or "models", as we call them at LTO. In fact, a specific model of wireless microphone may be used by a male vocalist or female vocalist during a live performance, by a Priest in a church service, by a speaker during a seminar, by and aerobics teacher during a training lesson, by a DJ, by a choir, by an announcer, by an auction director, we could go on and on forever with endless applications.
MODEL 5: DE-ESSER- The name tells everything. Use it to de-emphasize the sibilants, like the letter sound 's', for example, from your vocals. MODEL 6: VINTAGE RADIO- Old tube based Receivers made the Announcer voice sound like... yeah, we call it Vintage. Try it for a smooth satin voice. Ideally used for speech, but we found some other neat applications in the studio as well! MODEL 7: MID-WARMTH, a moderate voice enhancement making use of Bass enhancer.

7. ANNEX 7.1 Frequency Band Selection Most countries closely regulate the radio frequencies used in the transmission of wireless information. These regulations state which devices can use which frequencies, and help to limit the amount of RF(radio frequency)interference in all wireless communications. To be flexible enough to operate worldwide, MOD-16PRO Wireless receivers are available in a number of models, each with a unique frequency range.
