Frequency Modulation (FM) Technology Overview

Frequency modulation or (FM) is a means of transmitting audio using electromagnetic waves. This same

technology is used by local FM radio stations to broadcast music. FM signals can travel through most barriers

– walls, oors, and ceilings. The distance a signal travels has many different variables such as Radio Frequency

(RF) output power, the type and placement of the antenna, and the broadcasted frequency. Unlike infrared,

FM transmission are not secure. This enables a receiver to travel further distances from the source. This section of

the manual will help you design a system that will get the best range and least amount of interference.

Design Guide

System Overview

There are four main components to the Value Package – the transmitter, antenna, receiver and input source.

The input source can be audio from a sound board, microphone or a personal audio source like a CD player,

MP3 player, computer, DVD, etc. Audio will be connected into the audio inputs of the Stationary Transmitter.

Input Source

The LT-803-072 transmitter modulates the audio on an FM carrier and transmits the signal via an antenna.

Transmitter

LT-803-072 Stationary 3-Channel

FM Transmitter (72 MHz)

The LP-3CV-072 includes the LA-123 90° Helical Antenna. This antenna has a BNC connector and should be

mounted on the back of the LT-803-072. For further antenna options see page 11.

Antenna

The LR-200-072 receiver captures the signal sent from the transmitter and outputs it into the LA-161 Single ear

bud. Listen offers a variety of receivers.

Design Guide

Input 1 offers a choice of balanced XLR or ¼ in. phono connector. Plug an audio source into Input 1: move the

input select switch to the type of input source being used. Select “Line” for Line Inputs, “Mic” for dynamic

microphones or “Mic + PH Power” for condenser microphones. A balanced feed from a soundboard can also

be used with Input 1.

Key Concepts in Value Package Setup

Input Selection

Input 1: Connecting the audio source

The LT-803-072 has two audio input options: Input 1 and Input 2. Input 1 is a balanced connection using either an

XLR or ¼ in. phono connector, and input 2 is two unbalanced phono connectors. Use Input 1 if you are using a

microphone or if you have a balanced connection such as a professional audio mixer (you can also use Input 1

for unbalanced connections). Use Input 2 to connect to an unbalanced audio source.

Key Concepts in Value Package Setup

The LT-803-072 can accommodate multiple inputs simultaneously with the use of the input level

potentiometer. When multiple inputs are present, both input level lights will be activated.

Using Multiple inputs

Mix Level

The mix level acts as the “master transmit” control. It will increase the transmit gain on the “mix” of the two

levels (if two levels are in use).

Test Tone

Use the test tone to transmit a 400 Hz tone. This tone will allow the end user to know if the system is transmitting

properly. All receivers should be able to hear this tone if tuned to the proper channel.

Selecting Transmitting Frequencies

Use this section of the guide to choose the channel settings for the transmitter and receivers.

Find transmission channel(s)

The goal is to nd a transmission channel(s) that is free from interference. Interference comes from

transmitters and other outside FM signals.

Listen’s LT-803-072 oers 3 dierent channels to choose from

With 3 different channels to choose from, the chance of nding an interference free channel is increased.

The best way to check for interference is to turn the LR-200-072 on and listen to each channel. Transmit on the

channel that has the least amount of noise.

Testing System

Monitor Jack

The headphone jack is used to monitor the mix of input 1 & 2. You can adjust the monitor level with the volume

knob. The headphone jack is a standard 3.5 mm jack.

Antenna placement (rear)

Rear mounted antenna

Rear mounting the LA-123 90° Helical Antenna (72 MHz) will allow the transmitter to be moved if necessary.

For proper and dependable operation, Listen receivers need to receive a strong and consistent signal from the

originating transmitter. The following strategies should be used to maximize this signal:

Maximizing Transmission Range

Transmitting antenna

When designing and installing your system, keep in mind that the location of both the transmitting and

receiving antennas is critical to maximize broadcast range. Minimize the distance and remove any obstructions

between the transmitting and receiving antennas. Keep transmitting and receiving antennas (receiver earphone

cord) away from metal or conductive objects.

RF Power switch

Position the RF Power switch on the back of the LT-803-072 to full RF Power, unless lower power is necessary.

Low, med or high RF power

Design Guide

Remote antenna

The LA-122 Universal Antenna Kit (72 and 216 MHz) and the LA-116 Coaxial Dipole Remote Antenna (72 MHz)

connect to the LT-803-072 and can be placed away from the transmitter for better range. They also allow the

unit to be rack mounted with the antenna remotely using the LA-326 Universal Rack Mounting Kit. Both the

LA-122 and LA-116 come with 25’ of black coaxial cable (RG-58).

ATTENTION: Long cable runs can result in signal degradation due to the “loss” characteristics of the cable.

Minimize cable runs as much as possible or use “low loss” RG-8 cable.

The antenna can also be in the front of the rack with the use of the LA-125 Antenna Kit for Rack Mount

(72 MHz) and the LA-326 Universal Rack Mounting Kit.

Rack Mounting the Transmitter

The LT-803-072 can be rack mounted if necessary. With the use of the Listen LA-326 Universal Rack Mount Kit,

you can mount one or two transmitters to the standard 19” rack. The rack mounted unit will take 1 ru of space.

Rack Mount with dual units installed.

NOTE: The antenna may need to be remote mounted using the LA-122 Remote Antenna Kit if the transmitter(s) is

rack mounted. If a rack is metal, it is not recommended to have the antenna inside. Also, the depth of the rack and

equipment inside could prevent an antenna from being placed inside.
