Frequently Asked Questions - WHD-PRO + I Azden

How do I change frequencies on the WHD-PRO system?

Use the Power/Frequency Selector Switch on both the receiver (WR-PRO) and transmitter (WM-PRO). The switch has three positions: OFF, F1 (169.445 MHz), and F2 (170.245 MHz). Select the quieter frequency to avoid interference.

What batteries does the WHD-PRO system require?

The receiver and transmitter each require one 9-volt battery (not included). The SGM-990 shotgun microphone requires one AAA alkaline battery (not included). Always observe correct polarity.

How long does the battery last?

Under normal use, the system operates continuously for up to 10 hours on one set of batteries. Replace batteries if sound quality degrades.

How do I mount the receiver to a camera?

The WR-PRO receiver has an attached shoe mount for direct camera mounting. Alternatively, use the provided loop and hook fastener. The shoe mount can be removed by unscrewing the Phillips head screw.

How do I use the SGM-990 shotgun microphone with the system?

Insert the 3.5mm stereo output mini-plug into the camera's STEREO EXT. MIC jack. If using a smartphone, connect the HX-i adapter cable between the microphone and the device. Turn the power switch ON and select LONG or SHORT pickup pattern as needed.

What is the HX-i adapter cable for?

The HX-i cable allows connection to smartphones or tablets. Insert the TRRS (4-pin male) end into the device, and the STEREO (3-pin) end connects to either the receiver's output or the SGM-990's output.

How can I troubleshoot poor sound quality?

First, check that both transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency and that the transmitter’s microphone cord is fully extended (it acts as an antenna). If interference occurs, try the other frequency. If sound remains poor, replace the batteries.

What does the warranty cover?

Azden provides a 2-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship to the first consumer purchaser. It covers repair or replacement at Azden's discretion. Shipping costs to/from Azden are not covered, and the warranty excludes damage from misuse, abuse, or accidents.

How do I connect the EX-503 lavalier microphone?

Plug the lavalier microphone into the WM-PRO transmitter's MIC jack. Extend the cord fully because it doubles as the transmitter's antenna. Position the microphone on clothing near the speaker's mouth.

Can I use the WHD-PRO system near airports or broadcast stations?

Avoid using the system near broadcast stations, airports, or aircraft, as it may cause interference. If interference occurs, change to the alternate frequency. The system complies with FCC Part 90, and you may need to contact the FCC for filing forms.

WR-PRO RECEIVER

1. Loading Battery

Open the battery compartment lid by sliding it down and raising the lid. Insert a 9-volt battery into the battery compartment with the correct polarity. Directions are on the inside of the battery compartment. Do not force the battery compartment lid to close. If it does not close easily, turn the battery around and try again.

2. Power/Frequency Selector Switch

This slide switch is used to turn the unit on and off as well as to select a frequency. When not using the WR-PRO, make sure that the switch is turned to OFF.

3. Signal Indicator

This LED has 2 functions: When you first turn the Power/Frequency Selector Switch of the Receiver on, but if the Transmitter is not on, the LED will show red indicating that the battery is good. If both the Transmitter and the Receiver are on and they are on the same frequency, the Receiver LED will show green and the Transmitter LED will show red.

4. Shoe Mount

The Receiver comes with an attached shoe mount for mounting to a camera. You can also attach the Receiver with the enclosed loop and hook fastener. The shoe mount can be easily removed from the Receiver by unscrewing the Phillips head screw in the center of the shoe mount.

5. Output Plug

Connect the plug from the Receiver into the camera's "STEREO EXT. MIC" jack.

6. Telescopic Antenna

Fully extend the antenna for the best reception.

7. Earphone Jack

Plug an earphone (not included) into the jack to monitor the sound you are recording.

WM-PRO TRANSMITTER

1. Loading Battery

Insert (1) 9-volt battery into the battery compartment. Be careful not to force the battery compartment lid closed.

2. Microphone

Plug the EX-503 (lavalier mic). Extend the cord as much as possible since it doubles as the transmitter's antenna.

3. Power/Frequency Selector Switch

This switch is used to turn the unit on and off as well as to select a frequency.

4. Mounting

The Transmitter can be attached to a belt using the clip provided or placed in a pocket.

SGM-990 SHOTGUN MICROPHONE

1. Battery

Unscrew lower half of the microphone by turning the case counterclockwise. Insert one AAA Alkaline battery into the case making sure polarity is correct. Close the case by turning it clockwise. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN or you may strip the threads.

2. Shock-Mount Holder

The SGM-990 is supplied with a shock-mount holder. Snap the rear portion of the microphone into the holder. To secure the holder to a camera shoe, slide the holder into the camera shoe and tighten the thumbwheel by turning it clockwise.

3. Windscreen

Slide the windscreen over the front end of the microphone and cover all the vents on the barrel.

4. 3.5mm Stereo Output Mini-Plug

Insert the plug into your camera's "STEREO EXT. MIC" jack.

5. Power Switch

Turn the power switch to "ON" for normal operation. When not in use, turn the microphone to "OFF" to avoid draining the battery.

6. Long/Short Pattern Switch

Slide the switch upward (or toward the front of the microphone) to turn on the LONG setting to enable the Super-cardioid pickup pattern for further distances or slide it back to SHORT for a directional omni-style pickup pattern.

HX-i ADAPTER CABLE

1. To use the HX-i cable with your smartphone or tablet, insert the TRRS (4-pin male) end of the cable into your smartphone or tablet.
2. If you are using the wireless microphone system, insert the STEREO (3-pin) end of the WR-PRO receiver's output cable into the HX-i
3. If you are using the SGM-990, insert the STEREO (3-pin) end of the output cable into the HX-i.
