At the Receiver

  1. Fit the included straight and right-angled antennae to the A10-RX receiver
  2. Connect the receiver to a power source It will immediately power on
  3. Using the scanning tool in the Selection menu find an available open frequency. If multiple wireless systems are in use, make certain to keep frequenat cies least 400 kHz apart.
  4. Connect the audio output from channel 1, channel 2, or both to an audio input on a mixer, recorder, camera, or PA system
  5. Ensure that the receiver audio output type and level are set based on the input type.

At the Transmitter

  1. Attach the straight antenna to the A10-TX or A20-Mini
  2. Attach an audio source to the 3-pin LEMO input connector
  3. Insert batteries into the A10-TX or A20-Mini battery compartment and power on the unit with the red On/Off button
  4. Set the audio input type to set to match the connected input
  5. Set the modulation and transmitting frequency on the A10-TX or A20-Mini (using A20Remote) to match the modulation and frequency set on the A10-RX receiver channel.
  6. With A10-TX adjust the audio gain according to your environment and source, taking care not to overload the signal This is indicated by a red LED The A20- Mini’s GainForward feature eliminates the need to adjust microphone preamplifier gain at the wireless transmitter

At the Receiver

  1. Confirm that the Channel Power LED is solid blue.
  2. Confirm that the RF Status LEDs and display indicate good RF strength.
  3. For A10-TX, confirm that the audio level at the receiver corresponds to the audio connected to the A10-TX input

Basic Operation

Frequency Selection
The A10 Digital Wireless System operates in the UHF frequency band from 470 to 694 MHz The A10-RX can tune across the entire range of the system.
Because the A10 digital RF transmission is inherently immune to intermodulation multiple A10 Digital Wireless systems can be used simultaneously on nearby adjacent frequencies without the worry of intermodulation interference Systems can be used together when separated by at least 400 kHz
Setting Channel, Sub Channel, Frequency
To simplify frequency selection, frequencies are divided into channels and sub-channels The specific frequencies corresponding to channels and sub- channels depend on the setting of the TV Channel Mapping (Main > Settings > TV Ch Map) Three options are available, 6, 7, and 8 MHz spacing, X, Y, and Z respectively These three settings generally correspond to three main geographic regions, the Americas, Australia/New Zealand, and Europe, respectively For more information, see Frequency Tables

  • Channel – corresponds to broadcast television channels used in a geographic region Depending on the selected channel mapping, channels cover 6, 7, or 8 MHz
  • Sub Channel – channels are divided into 400 kHz increments called sub-channels to speed up frequency selection The number of sub-channels depends on the channel mapping selected
  • Frequency-specific frequencies within the receiver tuning range can be selected in 25 kHz increments When a selected frequency does not correspond with a  channel/sub-channel mapping, an asterisk character (*) is shown in the display adjacent to the channel/sub-channel assignment below the frequency shown

To change TV channels:

  1. Use the Left button to highlight the TV Channel
  2. Press the Centre Menu to select the TV channel
  3. Select the subchannel until the desired sub-channel is selected
    Remember, for a given channel/sub-channel, the actual frequency will change depending on the TV Channel Mapping setting.

See the Frequency Tables in this guide for a complete list of frequencies corresponding to the channel and sub-channel selections

Modulation

Modulation can be set to Standard (Std) or Long Range (LR) in Menu > Settings

Modulation.
When compared to Standard Modulation, Long Range Modulation has better sensitivity This increased sensitivity results in a more robust performance in challenging RF environments
The Modulation setting must match between the A20-Mini or A10-TX and the A10-RX in order for the transmitted signal to be received.
Frequency Scanning
The frequency scanning tool uses the radios in the A10-RX to measure and display RF activity within the system’s tuning range. This allows a user to find frequencies with low RF activity suitable for system operation The scan tool operates over the full 224 MHz bandwidth of the receiver Enter the scanner from the Selection Menu Main > Scan
Audio from channel 1 and channel 2 is muted when the scan tool is active.
To initiate a scan, press the >> button The scan will start, working from lower frequencies to higher frequencies, The cursor can be seen to move along the screen denoting the current position of the scan can be stopped by pressing the Left button Selecting the > button allows the user to manually step through in 400 kHz steps at a time Selecting the << button allows the user to automatically scan backward, and similarly selecting the < button allows the user to manually step lower in frequency in 400 kHz steps
Partial Scanning, 25 MHz Increments
In partial scanning mode, the receiver scans a 25 MHz range This partial scan improves the resolution of the scan over a full scan The ten partial scans cover the following ranges:

1 – 470-495 MHz 6 – 581-606 MHz
2 – 492-517 MHz 7 – 603-628 MHz
3 – 515-540 MHz 8 – 626-651 MHz
4 – 537-562 MHz 9 – 648-673 MHz
5 – 559-584 MHz 10 – 669-694 MHz

Full Scan, 224 MHz
The full receiver bandwidth of 224 MHz can also be scanned
AUDIO A10-RX Digital Wireless Receiver - Figure 11 User Group Scan
When user groups are in use, an additional option called UG is available in the Scan menu Selecting this will only scan frequencies in the loaded user group
Audio Output and Control
The A10-RX outputs either analog line level or AES3 digital audio This global setting applies to both channel outputs
Analog Output
When set to analog in the Selection Menu the A10-RX outputs low-impedance, balanced line-level audio It is designed to connect to balanced or unbalanced line-level inputs To unbalance the output, float pin-3.
AES Digital Output
When set to AES output in the Selection Menu the A10-RX outputs two-channel AES3 at 24bit, 44.1 kHz Channel 1 output appears at AES left, channel 2 appears at AES right
With the A10-RX-XLR the channel 1 XLR connector is used for AES3 output channel 2 The XLR connector is not active when set to AES output
Antennae
The SMA antenna connector is used to mount the included 1/4-wave whip antenna For specialty applications external, high-gain receiving antennae can be attached to the SMA connector
Ensure that the antennae used are built for the correct frequency.
For best operation and reception power with the included 1/4-wave antenna, keep it in the free field, away from metal objects or transmitting devices.

User Groups

The User Groups feature allows for easy, intuitive naming of specific frequencies for each A10 the transmitter used on set and grouped together for faster tuning The operator of an A10 receiver may then easily switch between transmitters by choosing alphanumeric names, such as “Jack” and “Jill”, instead of having to remember and manually tune to different, specific numerical frequencies.
For instance, a producer or director may want to monitor several different actors’ wireless transmitters Rather than having to keep a list of all of their frequencies, each transmitter may be pre-assigned a frequency and given an actor’s name Then only those pre-assigned frequencies that have been named will be available as possible options for tuning User Group files are created using SD-Utility—a Windows and Mac application available for free download from the Sound Devices website
https://www.sounddevices.com/download/?prod=sd-utility
Once created, the User Group files are uploaded to A10 transmitters and receivers.
A20-Mini does not support User Groups.
To create a new user group:

  1. Open SD-Utility on your computer

  2. Do one of the following:
    • On a Mac, select User Group File > New
    • On a PC, select File > User Groups > Create a new file.

  3. Name the new group

  4. Select a range of frequencies via the Band drop-down list Options include A, B, C, and D and This will automatically restrict users in the group to the frequencies within that band Selecting Any will make frequencies within all bands available for assignment to users in the group
    All A10-TX will have the available bands listed on the printed label inside the battery compartment door as well as display the frequencies capable of being generated by the transmitter in Menu > System > Info.

  5. Select OK. The User Group Editor screen appears with fields for the first user (U1) available.

  6. Enter a Name and Frequency for U1 in the fields provided. The A10-TX transmitter’s serial number is optional.
    Entry of ineligible frequencies (or characters) will cause the text in the field to appear red.
    SD-Utility automatically fills in .000 as the subchannel variable for frequencies entered as a whole number SD-Utility automatically follows the best-practice method of spacing adjacent transmitters by at least one subchannel, preventing possible interference from other transmitters

  7. Click Add (on a PC) —or the Plus (+) button on a Mac— to add the user to the group. This also adds a new line for the next user (U2, U3, etc) Each user in a group can be given a name and frequency, which after upload, will then be displayed on A10 receivers and transmitters Each group can have up to 32 users
