Comtek M-216 Option P7 Portable Transmitter
Built for location sound, the battery-powered Comtek M-216 Option P7 sends program audio from the mixer to PR-216 and PR-216 Option 7 receivers worn by the director, crew, and clients.
Compared with the standard M-216, the Option P7 drops the microphone jack and has a BNC antenna connector, a dedicated aux and line input on a stereo 3.5 mm jack, and extended low-frequency response. Its short, flexible SLW-216 whip antenna gives better RF transmission and more operating range. An adjustable gain control and a single LED VU meter make setting the input level quick.
Synthesized channel switches set the channel: channels 1 to 40 are standard narrow band channels, and channels 41 to 60 are high-fidelity companded channels. A 9 V alkaline battery runs it for up to 40 hours, and a 9 V Ni-MH rechargeable for up to 15 hours. New transmitters no longer charge Ni-MH batteries through the AUX jack as a standard feature; that capability is available on request.
The optional SLW-216B base-loaded whip antenna is made for bag use. Older transmitters need a modification by Comtek’s service department to get the best from it. The optional MBS-216 Mounting-Bracket Stand holds the transmitter upright with its antenna vertical.
