INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Long Ranger portable wireless sound system. This
unique design combines a rechargeable power supply, a high-power amplifier and
loudspeaker, and high quality VHF wireless microphone into a single compact
assembly. The design has evolved with numerous refinements since its first prede-
cessor was introduced in the early 1980’s to serve public address applications
indoors and outdoors, with the ruggedness and reliability needed for professional
use.
A single Long Ranger provides enough output power to cover surprisingly large
outdoor areas as a stand-alone unit. Versatile options and accessories expand the
use of the Long Ranger to handle unusual coverage areas with the addition of
external loudspeakers. Optional accessories also include an additional wireless
microphone, hard-wired microphone, tape recorder, CD player, etc. Two Long
Ranger systems can be interconnected with a single cable to allow multiple micro-
phones and other audio sources to use both systems simultaneously, operating
together as though they are a single sound system.
