Introduction The Bogen Enhancer is an infrared wireless microphone system offering professional performance and operating features. Infrared transmission is used to reduce room-to-room interference while sending a signal from a presenter’s microphone to a dual-channel receiver. The receiver works in tandem with an amplifier and speaker(s) to reduce the effects of poor room acoustics and the weakening effect of voice traveling through air.
System Features BCWR Dual-Channel Wireless Microphone Receiver • Dual Receiver, Simultaneous 2-Channel Operation for 2 Transmitters (Ch. A, Ch. B) • Infrared (IR) Signal Reception LED Indicators • Channel A/B Mixed Audio Output RCA-type Connector • Separate Channel A and Channel B Volume Controls • Two IR Sensor Coaxial-type Inputs BCWBT Body-Pack Transmitter • Multiple Emitter Array of High-Efficiency Infrared Emission LEDs for Optimum IR Transmission • "Power On" LED • Channel A/B Selector Switch • 3.
BCWR Receiver 2 1 Front 3 4 5 6 16V AC POWER INPUT Rear Connecting the Audio Output The BCWR Receiver provides an unbalanced, line-level mixed output to the RCA Jack (3). This can be connected to a mixer or a P.A. system using the supplied RCA to RCA audio cable. The audio of both Channels A and B are mixed together at this output. The Channel A and B mix is dependent on the separate Channel A and Channel B Volume Control (4) settings located on the back panel of the receiver.
BCIRS Infrared (IR) Sensors Operation The IR Sensors act as "antennae" for your infrared wireless microphone system. A multiple array of wide-angle IR-sensitive LEDs (behind the front panel receptors) receive the infrared signal emitted by your IR Transmitter. Connect each BCIRS Sensor to the rear jacks on the BCWR (labeled IR In), then turn the BCWR Receiver ON. The Sensor Power LED (1) will light to indicate that the sensor is properly connected to the BCWR Receiver.
BCWBT Body-Pack Transmitter Transmitter Setup Slide down the Battery Compartment Cover (1), as shown, exposing the battery compartment. Insert 2 fresh AA alkaline batteries or the optional BCBRBP Battery Pack NiMH rechargeable batteries while observing the correct polarity as marked. Set the Channel Selector Switch (2) to the desired channel of operation and slide the cover back into position on the unit. (Note: Make sure the transmitter is OFF when changing the batteries.) 8 9 . 54 67 Operation 78 a.
BCHM Headset Microphone Operation a. The BCHM is provided with a 3.5mm Locking Connector (1) for connecting the microphone to the BCWBT Transmitter. Plug in the microphone’s connector and secure the connection by turning the metal slip ring clockwise to thread it on the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. b. Wear Headset (2) so that it wraps around the back of the head. The curved Earpieces (3) will fit over the ears. c.
BCWHT Handheld Microphone Transmitter Transmitter Setup Unscrew and remove the Battery Compartment Cover (1) by sliding it down off the microphone to expose the battery holder. Insert 2 fresh AA alkaline batteries or the optional BCHRBP Battery Pack NiMH rechargeable batteries, while observing the correct polarity as marked, and screw the cover back on the battery compartment. (Note: Make sure the transmitter is OFF when changing the batteries.
