TOA Electronics IR Wireless Handheld Microphone - IR-200M Y

Overview

DEAL: On Sale — The TOA IR-200M Y is a cardioid condenser infrared handheld microphone engineered for the TOA IR Wireless Microphone System. Operating on infrared light transmission rather than radio frequency, it delivers secure, interference-free wireless audio in environments where RF is prohibited or problematic — including school campuses, government facilities, and broadcast stages.

Description

The IR-200M Y features a high-quality cardioid condenser capsule with a 100 Hz to 12 kHz frequency response and 120 dB maximum SPL handling. Two user-selectable infrared carrier frequencies (Channel A: 3.100 MHz / Channel B: 3.350 MHz) enable simultaneous operation of two transmitters without interference. Adjustable infrared emission (H/N modes) provides up to 20 m or 15 m line-of-sight range to match venue size. Battery life reaches up to 8 hours with rechargeable AA Ni-MH cells, and the compact 241.8 mm body weighs just 170 g for comfortable extended use.

Key Features

• Cardioid condenser capsule — 100 Hz–12 kHz frequency response with 120 dB SPL handling for clear, feedback-controlled speech reinforcement.
• 2 user-selectable IR channels — Channel A (3.100 MHz) and Channel B (3.350 MHz) allow two transmitters to operate simultaneously in the same room.
• Adjustable IR emission level — H mode delivers up to 20 m range; N mode conserves battery for spaces up to 15 m (both line-of-sight).
• Up to 8-hour runtime — Compatible with rechargeable TOA IR-200BT-2 Ni-MH AA (8 h) or standard alkaline AA (6 h) batteries.
• Lightweight, comfortable form factor — 241.8 × 37 mm at 170 g for all-day presenter or instructional use without fatigue.

Typical Applications

The TOA IR-200M Y is well-suited for K-12 and higher education classrooms where adjacent-room use demands interference-free wireless operation; government and military briefing rooms requiring RF-quiet, non-interceptable microphone transmission; broadcast production and recording stages avoiding interference with RF-sensitive equipment; and houses of worship deploying affordable two-transmitter IR systems for clergy and assistants.

FAQ

What TOA receivers is the IR-200M Y compatible with?

The IR-200M Y is designed for use with the TOA IR Wireless Microphone System, including the IR-702T dual-channel tuner and IR-700D infrared distributor.

Can two IR-200M Y microphones be used simultaneously?

Yes — set one to Channel A (3.100 MHz) and the other to Channel B (3.350 MHz) for simultaneous operation without cross-channel interference.

Why choose infrared over RF wireless?

Infrared signals do not pass through walls, eliminating cross-room interference and preventing eavesdropping — critical for educational and secure government environments.

What batteries provide the longest runtime?

TOA IR-200BT-2 rechargeable AA Ni-MH batteries deliver up to 8 hours; standard alkaline AAs provide approximately 6 hours.

What is the difference between the H and N power settings?

H (high) mode maximizes IR emission for venues up to 20 m; N (normal) mode reduces emission to extend battery life in smaller rooms up to 15 m.
