Network
By connecting a receiver to a Windows PC/Mac, you can monitor and control the status of the receivers and the transmitters using a dedicated application, Wireless Manager.

What is Wireless Manager?
Wireless Manager is software that supports the setup, control, and monitoring of compatible Audio-Technica wireless devices. It allows the user to configure settings in the Device List tab, RF planning in the Frequency Coordination tab and keep track of critical system levels and alerts in the monitor tab. When linked to a compatible receiver, you can scan the RF environment, monitor connected devices, and view the system log.

  • Read the user manual for any device used with this software.
  • Before using Wireless Manager, update network settings as described in “Setting network” (p. 21).

audio-technica-ATW-R3210N-UHF-Wireless-Systems- \(61\)

  • You can reverse the direction of the input connector by attaching the clip in the opposite direction.
  • Pull both sides of the clip firmly to the outside to remove the clip from the product.

Making connections (basic connections)
This is an example of connections made when using one receiver.
When connecting more than one receiver via a distributor (sold separately), refer to the distributor’s user manual.

audio-technica-ATW-R3210N-UHF-Wireless-Systems- \(62\)

Achieving stable reception
Low RF signal may result if there are obstructions between receiver antennas and transmitter(s). In such a case, reposition the antennas to get better reception. Use external antennas (sold separately) if the installation space is limited.

Rack-mounting the receiver

  • Screws for rack-mounting the receiver are not included.
  • Consider ventilation when rack-mounting to avoid heat building up in the rack.
