PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The WR32-PRO is a high quality discrete dual-channel VHF receiver which allows you to use two Azden
PRO Series wireless microphone/transmitters simultaneously.
FREQUENCIES
The system operates in the 169 & 172 MHz band, where interference is very low. Before using the system,
it is recommended that you check it at the location you are shooting; to make sure that there is no
interference.
LOADING THE BATTERY (see diagram A)
Open the battery door. Load two AA alkaline batteries into the case, making sure that the polarity is correct.
Close the door, but do not force it. If it takes pressure to close, re-check the polarity. The battery life is
approximately 8 hours. Use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended.
SHOE MOUNT (see diagram B)
The WR32-PRO comes with both a shoe mount and hook & loop fastener. You can use either method to
attach the unit to your camera. To use the shoe mount, line up the tabs on the black plastic plate holding
the shoe mount with the holes on the back of the WR32-PRO. Press down gently, and push the tabs upward,
until you feel them slip into place (reverse the process to remove). Now attach the WR32-PRO to the
camera's shoe stand. Turn the thumbwheel clockwise to tighten, but do not over -tighten. If you're using
the hook & loop fastener instead of the shoe mount, attach the fastener with the smooth surface to the
WR32-PRO, and the piece with the rough surface to the camera.
CABLES & JACKS
The WR32-PRO comes with a stereo mini (3.5mm)-to-stereo mini (3.5mm) cable. Plug one end into the
WR32-PRO's MIC OUTjack, and the other end into the camera's MIC input jack. An optional stereo
mini-to-dual XLR cable (part number MX-2) is available for the WR32-PRO.
The PHONE jack on the WR32-PRO is for headphone monitoring only. Plug any stereo headphone into
this jack to monitor sound. The volume level is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
ANTENNAS (see diagram C)
For best reception fully extend the antennas and point them straight up.
For storage lower the antennas and point them straight out from the receiver.
Use caution, as the antennas are not designed to rotate side to side.
MICROPHONE / TRANSMITTERS
The WR32-PRO works with all Azden microphone/transmitters with the PROdesignation.
Including the WL/T-PRO and WM/T-PRO or the transmitters from the following systems,
WMS-PRO, WHX-PRO and WLX-PRO.
Consult the manuals for which microphone/transmitter come with these systems.
POWER & FREQUENCY ON/OFF SWITCHS (see diagram D)
Turn either the F1 or F2 switch to ON. The corresponding LED will light red, indicating that the power
is on. Take your PRO Series microphone/transmitter and set the frequency selector/switch to the same
frequency you have selected for the WR32-PRO F1 or F2. The corresponding LED on the WR32-PRO will
turn from red to green, indicating that the WR32-PRO is now receiving the signal. If you are using 2
microphone/transmitters with the WR32-PRO, make sure to follow the same procedure for the second unit,
using the other frequency.
CAUTIONS
When two microphone/transmitters are used simultaneously, make sure 1 transmitter is set to Frequency
1 (F1) and the other transmitter is set to Frequency 2 (F2). Additionally, when using two microphone/
transmitters, make sure that the transmitters are at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the WR32-PRO
receiver. Typical operating range is 10-100 feet. Placing one or both transmitters closer than 10 feet
may cause proximity interference problems.
The cable supplied with the WR32-PRO will not work with devices (smart phone, tablet) using a TRRS jack.
An adaptor to convert the WR32-PROs stereo plug (2 black stripes) to TRRS plug (3 black stripes) will be
necessary.
