Description:
The WIR TX925 is ideal for simultaneous language interpretation for up to two languages. It can
operate up to 18,000 sq ft in two channel mode or 28,000 in single channel mode. Operating on 2.3
and 2.8 MHz, the WIR TX925 is less susceptible to traditional radio and lighting interference. Listen
to the program with the optional RX22-4 four-channel receiver, RX14-2 two-channel receiver or the
RX16 two-channel/stereo receiver.
Applications:
• Simultaneous Interpretation • Audio Description • Media Rooms • Conferences • Boardrooms • Courtrooms
• Schools • Universities • Cinemas • Churches

The coverage area for the TX9 will vary depending on the receiver being used. The diagram above
demonstrates the receiver coverage when operating a single TX9 emitter in single channel mode.
Patterns are direct radiation patterns.
Note: Reflections of the infrared light from walls, ceilings and floors may change these patterns.

Fig. 5: 3-Dimension Foot Pattern
The TX9 floods the listening audience with a
cone shape light pattern as shown here.
The path of the cone shape light leaves a
pattern on the ground, or "foot print, " and
indicates where the strongest receiver
reception will occur.
The actual coverage area will vary depending
on the sensitivity of the receiver being used.
Refer to Figures 4 and 7 to determine how
many emitters are required for 100% coverage
of the listening area.
To determine the best location for the emitter, it helps to think of the IR emitter as an invisible flood-
light. You’ll want to aim it so the listeners are “flooded” with the infrared light. The emitter should also
be positioned high enough so it won’t be blocked by people and other physical obstructions. See Figure
6 below. Mount the emitter at least 2 ft. (.61 m) above the audience. Position the emitter to face in a
slightly downward angle, 20°, that will increase the “throw” of the infrared beam.

Important: Remember to point the emitter towards the listening audience!
If you’re not getting sufficient coverage with a single, properly installed TX9 Emitter, you may need
to add additional WIR TX9 Emitters to achieve full coverage of your listening area. Figures 8a and
8b illustrate how multiple emitters can be used for large room installations.

Fig. 8a above is a typical example of how multiple emitters are used to cover larger listening areas.
Generally it is desirable for the illumination patterns to overlap. Note: The coverage area will vary depend-

required to achieve full coverage of a listening area.

When two emitters are used at the same emission point in single channel mode, the overall coverage area incre-

(3,902 m2); the RX14-2 will increase to 5,250 ft2 (488 m2); the RX16 will increase to 4,590 ft2 (426 m2 ).

removal via charger contacts in the case. A drop-in charger accessory shall recharge the batteries in 8 hours when used with
CHG 3512 charger. The receiver shall be housed in an impact resistant plastic case with a hinged battery door that does not
separate from the receiver. The receiver shall receive 2.3 MHz, 2.8 MHz, 3.3 MHz or 3.8 MHz modulated IR signals with 50 µS
de-emphasis. The receiver shall have a 3.5 mm stereo phone jack and accommodate low-impedance mono or stereo ear-
phones and headphones. The receiver shall accommodate neckloop telecoil couplers. The receivers shall provide 110 dB
SSPL90 output with EAR 013 earbud-type earphone.
