Digital Wireless for Today and Tomorrow.
The new A10 Digital Wireless System is designed for the technical demands and requirements of today’s RF-hostile, multi-channel productions. The A10-TX bodypack transmitter and portable A10-RX receiver provide users with broadcast-quality audio, reliable digital RF performance, and easy multi-system setup. Its proprietary digital RF topology and Advanced Digital Diversity is the result of years of research, laboratory experimentation, and customer experience. The result is a wireless link with full 20 kHz audio bandwidth, high dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and industry leading 2 millisecond end-to-end delay.
The A10 Digital Wireless System operates in the 470 MHz to 694 MHz UHF band (frequency ranges are country-dependent). Its spectrally efficient digital modulation enables up to twenty A10 Digital Wireless Systems to simultaneously operate in a single 8 MHz TV channel. Multiple simultaneous systems operate without compromising RF range, audio quality, or latency.
A10 -TX
Digital Body-Pack Transmitter
• Low-noise, studio-grade input for microphones and line level inputs with analogue limiter and phantom power
• Integrated digital audio recorder with ultra-accurate timecode generator
• Records to removable microSD cards
• Remote controllable over Bluetooth® using the A10 Remote Android and iOS app
A10 -RX
Two-Channel True Diversity Receiver
• Tunes over the full system bandwidth of 470 to 694 MHz
• 4 complete digital receiver circuits (two per channel)
• Advanced Digital Diversity System (ADDS) selects the receiver with the best RF signal and combines weak signals
• Two versions available: Uni/Super-slot and with cables and connectors
WHY DIGITAL?
The A10 system addresses many of the spectral and audio limitations of analogue FM wireless systems. Its Advanced Digital Diversity System takes advantage of packetized digital RF to improve RF system performance. The result is superior audio quality with no analogue noise and no companding artifacts. Digital RF modulation is not subject to intermodulation effects like an analogue system. This allows multiple A10 Digital Wireless systems to operate with even frequency spacing without worrying about intermod-free frequency plans.
