WGT Bodypack Transmitter
1. Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT
(7) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY (8),
observing the correct polarity. Close the
compartment. The WGT is provided with
a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (9) for connecting
the INSTRUMENT CABLE (10). To secure the
connection, turn the metal slip ring on the
plug clockwise to thread it on to the jack.
To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the
transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your
clothes or instrument strap.
(Note: As the cord to the instrument also serves
as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully for
maximum range. Rolling up or shortening the
cord may reduce the effective operating range.)
2. Turn on the WGT by sliding the OFF/
STANDBY/ON SWITCH (11) to the Standby
position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the
On position (transmitter and audio both on).
The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (12) will give a
single quick flash, indicating usable battery
strength. In the case of a dead or low
battery, the LED either will not go on at all or
will stay on continuously, indicating that the
battery should be replaced with a fresh one.
3.
The WGT transmitter is now ready to use.
Adjust the volume of the receiver as per
the previous Receiver Operation section.
For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL
CONTROL (13) is provided on the top panel
of the WGT. Adjust the gain by turning the
control with a small slot head screwdriver.
It is recommended that this control be
turned to maximum gain. However, for
ultra high-gain instrument sources such as
active bass pickups or even extra hot guitar
pickups, turning the level down slightly will
create a cleaner sound.
(Note: Turning down the input gain too much can
compromise the signal-to-noise ratio and is not
recommended. Set for the maximum possible
gain and headroom without noticeable distortion
on the high level peaks).
(Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when
some electric guitars/basses with dirty pots or
connections are used with any wireless system.
For this reason, the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD
(10) has a factory installed capacitor inside the ¼”
plug. This capacitor provides first order filtering
of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and
eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should
your equipment still give you scratchy noises,
we suggest these steps to eliminate them:
1) Make sure all guitar volume and tone
pots are clean and all contacts are solid—
this is very important.
2) Provide extra filtering with a 220 pF capacitor
soldered across the hot to ground terminals of
the guitar’s volume and tone pots.)
