The cornerstone of the PPA VP 37 system is the PPA T27 transmitter. It will broadcast a speaker’s voice, music program, or audio service wirelessly up to 500 feet to a listening audience. Audience participants use the R35, R35-8, or any wideband FM receiver operating on 72-76 MHz frequency to pick up the broadcast. The PPA T27 has 17 available frequencies and features an LED display and front panel push-button channel selector. The speaker simply connects a microphone such as the MIC 100 into the 3.5 mm front panel jack to broadcast their voice. The T27 transmitter can also be used with up to five (5) daisy chained MIC049 conference microphones. This is particularly useful at large round table discussions where passing a microphone around would be impractical. Alternatively, the unit can be connected to a sound system through a line-level (RCA) jack to broadcast the audio service.
Note: The T27 transmitter is approved by the FCC for operation in U.S. markets. The transmitter can not be used in all countries. Check with your government´s radio regulations for 72 - 76 MHz operation. Disclaimer: FCC rules limit use of this equipment to auditory assistance.
The PPA R37 SelectTM Receiver features a Seek/Scan Function channel selector with access to 17 pre-set wideband frequencies between 72-76 MHz. The stylish, impact-resistant receiver offers crystal clear audio and is compatible
with any Williams Sound Personal PA wideband transmitter. The system is expandable, accommodating any number of listeners. Receivers include a detachable belt-clip for hands-free operation. A standard 3.5 mm stereo phone jack accommodates low-impedance mono earphones,
headphones and neckloops (the ADA accessibility requirements for
hearing assistance, requires one neckloop per four receivers or a minimum of two).
The PPA R37 receiver is equipped with a integrated volume on/off
switch and a green LED power "on" indicator. The green power "on" LED will
illuminate red indicating low battery power. The PPA R37 receiver operates
on two AA alkaline batteries for 100 hours of long-lasting operation. A
battery selector switch inside the battery compartment also permits use of
NiMH rechargeable batteries. Operating time with NiMH rechargeable batteries is approximately
50 hours.
For application where hearing assistance as
well as simultaneous language interpretation is required, Williams Sound offers
the optional PPA R35-8 Multi-Channel Receiver. The PPA R35-8 share
the same design features as the single-channel receiver. In addition, it is
pre-programmed to operate up to eight channels simultaneously when used with
any Williams Sound Personal PA transmitter operating on the 72-76 MHz
bandwidth. A tall rotary switch added to the control panel (right), easily
lets the user select the appropriate digitally synthesized frequencies for
rock solid tuning to favorite program. The battery life for the PPA R35-8 is
approximately 50 hours with alkaline batteries and 32 hours with 1400 mAh
rechargeable NiMH batteries.
When AA NiMH rechargeable batteries are used,
up to 12 receivers can be charged at one time when used with the optional CHG 3512 multi-charger (left). The charger
helps keep receivers organized and saves cost on
having to replace alkaline batteries. The charger features individual
charging LED indicators that blink when batteries are ready. The nominal
charging time is approximately 16 hours but may vary based on the rated
capacity of the NiMH batteries.
Williams Sound offers a Five-Year Warranty on all FM transmitters and receivers. Peripheral accessories such as
batteries, cords, earphones, power supplies, and headsets are
warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days. Neckloops carry a 1 year warranty. |
