Williams Sound Model WIRTX90 User Manual
Determine Coverage Area
Determine the coverage area needed for the seating area. When using the WIR TX90 transmitter with the RX22-4 receiver, in
single channel mode, the WIR TX90 can achieve a coverage area of 28,000 ft2 (2,600 m2). In four channel mode, the WIR
TX90 divides its power among the four signals to achieve a coverage area of 11,000 ft2 (1,022 m2).

NOTE: The coverage area will vary depending on the sensitivity of the infrared receiver being used. The following
diagram illustrates coverage area when using a RX22-4, RX15-2, or RX18 receiver with a single WIR TX90
transmitter in single channel mode.

These patterns are the direct radiation pattern. The infrared radiation does not drop to zero outside the illustrated patterns; it
decreases. It still may be useable at a greater distance, depending on the receiver sensitivity and the reflective characteristics of
the room.
decreases. It still may be useable at a greater distance, depending on the receiver sensitivity and the reflective characteristics of
the room.
Reflections of the infrared light from walls, ceilings, and floors may change these patterns.
Important: Remember to point the transmitter towards the listening audience!
Remember: opaque objects block infrared light. Thus, the transmitter cannot be concealed behind opaque walls, curtains, etc.
