Marketing Information

The Telex Radiocom TT-16 Base Station Transmitter and the TR-16 Beltpack Talent Receiver is a 16-channel synthesized wireless IFB system designed to provide a convenient wireless link to on-air talent in the studio or in the field at remote locations. Operating in the low band VHF 64-68 MHz range (TV Ch 3 and 4), the units operate reliably at distances of over 750 feet. In unoccupied television channels, up to five TT-16 transmitters will operate simultaneously within the same location.

The TT-16 Base Station Transmitter features 16 user-selectable frequencies controlled from front panel control buttons. A 1/4" headphone jack with adjustable level for input signal monitoring is also provided. A backlit LCD display allows the user to select the RF channel used, change Hi/Low RF transmit power, select intercom input source and to adjust the input levels. A new featured, Enhanced Dynamic Range (EDR), greatly improves the Signal to Noise ratio and works with the TR-16 talent receiver to provide clearer, more dynamic audio.

The Base Station Transmitter has a 3-pin XLR connector on the back of the unit that will accept intercom signal input and is selectable between RTS TW, Audiocom, or ClearCom. Other types of balanced audio input can also be used. The TT-16 has a 1/4" input jack on the back of the unit that will accept unbalanced line level signal input. Selection of the intercom type used and signal level adjustment is made from the front panel.

The TR-16 Talent Receiver features 16 user-selectable frequencies controlled from top panel control buttons. The TR-16 is designed with a 3.5mm Earphone connector to be used with standard IFB ear pieces such as the Telex Telethin announcers ear piece systems or any other 8-500 ohm earphone. the TR-16 receiver features a selectable high frequency boost control to equalize the high frequency loss associated with the use of behind the collar acoustic tubes and earphone drivers. Additionally, the TR-16 has EDR for increased dynamic range. Operation on two AA batteries (up to 20 hours on alkaline cells), the TR-16 also features a low battery indicator on the backlit LCD display when 10% of battery life remains.
