INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the M175 Wireless Microphone Transmitter. The M175

Series transmitters operate on high band frequencies from 150 MHz to 216 MHz. It

is offered in three different versions to meet your specific needs. This manual

covers all versions.

Only the M175 series transmitters are covered in this manual. Receivers are

covered in separate manuals. All versions of the M175 Series transmitters will

operate with any Lectrosonics high band VHF receiver. A frequency matched

transmitter/receiver combination makes up a “wireless system”.

If you are new to wireless microphones, you will discover a new freedom of move-

ment and level of convenience. If you are an experienced wireless user, you will be

pleased with the versatility and superior performance of the M175 design.

M175 Series transmitters are FCC type accepted under the following Parts:

Part 90 (150-172 MHz), Part 74 (174-216 MHz)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The M175 Series transmitter is offered in three versions. The standard model is the M175. The

M175-LS has an additional audio mute switch on the front panel, and the M175DC has a proprietary

Digital Code Squelch* circuit to eliminate squelching problems caused by interference.

The digital code system provides much more reliable control over the receiver audio output than a

conventional squelch can provide. The transmitter generates an 8-bit code at turn on, and another

code at turn off, to open and close the audio output on the receiver. The squelch on the receiver

cannot be opened by anything other than the specific code it is programmed to receive. This type of

squelch system is even more important when the receiver is connected into an automatic mixing

system.

The M175 transmitter uses the microphone cord for the antenna. This feature eliminates the need

for the “dangling wire” antenna found on many transmitters.

The M175 Series transmitters use a crystal controlled oscillator and temperature compensation

circuitry to ensure that the transmitter does not drift over time or with age.

To suppress audible noise, a “compandor” noise reduction circuit is used which is compatible with all

Lectrosonics 170 series, 175 series, and 185 series receivers. In addition, the input limiting circuit

will absorb 12 dB of overload without distortion. The audio circuitry is extremely quiet, with low

distortion for natural reproduction of either voice or music. The wide input adjustment range of M175

Series transmitters allows the use of virtually any microphone. The M175 can even be used with line

level inputs such as tape recorders or musical instruments.

The M175 Series transmitters operate from a replaceable standard 9 Volt alkaline battery. A preci-

sion battery test circuit continuously monitors the battery voltage. A highly visible LED glows as long

as the battery voltage is high enough to operate the transmitter. A 9 Volt alkaline battery will provide

up to 15 hours of operation.

The electret microphone input jack provides 5 Volts DC positive bias for all Lectrosonics’ electret

microphones. Many other electret microphones may be adapted to the M175 Series by making

simple wiring changes in the microphone connector.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

The MIC JACK is a locking micro jack that supplies “phantom power” for electret microphones such as the

Lectrosonics M130, M140 and the HM142V and HM152V headset models. Insert the microphone cord plug into the

jack and

rotate it clockwise to lock it

. It is important that the plug be securely locked, since the microphone cord

serves as the antenna for the transmitter.

The POWER ON/OFF switch turns the power on and off. The switch should be left in the off position when the

transmitter is not in use. When the switch is in the on position, the battery will be drained even though the transmitter

is not being used.

The BATTERY INDICATOR LAMP will light when the transmitter is turned on and will stay lit as long as the battery is

good. As the battery voltage drops, the lamp will grow dim and finally go out.

The GAIN ADJUST is a recessed screwdriver adjustment used to match the gain of the transmitter to different

microphones, individual voices or other audio inputs such as tape deck outputs.

The AUDIO MUTE SWITCH (M175-LS only) is a toggle type on-off switch used to shut off the audio signal without

shutting off the RF carrier of the transmitter.

(Note: The M175DC, Digital Code Squelch version is operationally identical to the standard M175.)

BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS

The battery you use in the M175 Series transmitter should be a 9 Volt alkaline, available almost everywhere. An

alkaline battery will provide up to 15 hours of operation. Carbon zinc batteries, even if marked “heavy duty”will only

provide about 4 hours of operation. Rechargeable batteries made to look like 9 Volt batteries typically only produce

7.2 Volts at full charge, which will only operate the transmitter for an hour or less. Make sure your batteries are

marked “alkaline.”Short battery life is almost always caused by weak batteries or batteries of the wrong type.

The BATTERY LAMP will light when the transmitter is turned on and will stay lit as long as the battery is good. As

the battery voltage drops, the lamp will grow dim and finally go out. Even after the lamp goes out, there may still be

up to an hour or more of operating time remaining. When the battery voltage is too low for proper transmitter opera-

tion, the sound from the wireless system may be distorted, intermittent or totally absent. When the transmitter is first

turned on, the lamp may light for a short while even with a bad battery. It is good practice to check the brightness of

the lamp after the transmitter has been on for several minutes and to note the brightness occasionally during use.

To replace the battery, open the bottom battery door cover with your thumb, rotate the door until it is perpendicular

with the case and allow the battery to fall out of the compartment into your hand. It is difficult to install the battery

backwards. Observe the large and small holes in the battery contact pad before inserting a new battery. Insert the

contact end of the battery first, making sure the contacts are aligned with the holes in the contact pad, and then

swing the door closed. You will feel it snap into place when it is fully closed.

To open the battery

compartment door, push the

door up and away from the case

with your thumb, then swing

open.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This section covers adjustments to the transmitter that must be made before the wireless microphone system is

placed into operation. The step-by-step procedures are listed in the order in which they should be performed:

1) Turn the wireless receiver power on and make any required preliminary adjustments in accordance with instruc-

tions in the receiver operating instructions.

2) Plug the microphone into the transmitter. If you are using a lavalier or headset microphone, rotate the plug

clockwise to make sure the connection is locked.

3) Turn the transmitter power on and verify that the red lamp on it lights. If the lamp is very dim or does not light,

replace the battery.

4) Observe that the RF lamp on the receiver control panel is lit. This verifies that the receiver is receiving a useable

radio signal from the transmitter.

5) Position the microphone on your person in the location it will be used during actual operation. If a headset micro-

phone is being used, adjust the headband for a comfortable fit with the “gooseneck”to the left side of your head.

Position the microphone element at the corner of the mouth and rotate the white volume control fully clockwise.

The headset is designed to be worn over the head, but can also be worn around the neck. Do not position the

microphone pickup directly in front of your mouth as this may cause unwanted noise from breath pops as you

speak.

6) A small screwdriver is supplied with the transmitter. The screwdriver is used to adjust the audio gain of the

transmitter to match your microphone and your voice. The GAIN ADJUST is located on the control panel of the

transmitter as shown below. The adjustment is made while observing the modulation level lamps on the receiver

control panel:

a) Speak at the voice level you will be using during actual operation.

b) While speaking, adjust the transmitter gain until the green modulation lamp on the receiver (may be marked “-

20”) is lit or flickers and the red modulation lamp blinks only on the loudest words. Raise and lower your voice

while observing the lamps. The red lamp should blink only occasionally.

NOTE: The modulation lamps on some receivers are marked or colored differently than just

described. Consult the operating manual for the receiver in use.

7) You may now adjust the receiver output level (wireless microphone or mic volume, level, or volume attenuator) to

the desired audio output level. Consult your receiver manual if you are not sure of the location of these controls.

The GAIN ADJUST is used only to adjust for proper modulation level lamp indications. DO NOT use it to adjust

the audio output level of the receiver. Different voices and different microphones will usually require readjustment

of the transmitter gain control, so check the adjustment frequently. If several different people will be using the

transmitter, and there is not time to make the adjustment for each individual, adjust it for the loudest voice.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment

needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check out the intercon-

necting cords and then go through the TROUBLE SHOOTING section in the manual

We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop

attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose con-

nection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t attempt to adjust any controls inside the units.

Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require read-

justment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.

LECTROSONICS’service department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In warranty repairs

are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out of warranty repairs are charged at a

modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong

as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate

charges by phone for out of warranty repairs.
