Introduction
The latest digital radio technology is employed in the
DSQD receiver to set a new standard for performance
and flexibility. Four discrete audio channels are packed
into a single half-rack chassis, with balanced analog
and Dante® digital network outputs. The receiver tunes
continuously across the UHF band from 470.100 to
614.375 MHz.
The digital architecture delivers studio quality audio with
ultra-low latency. The receiver includes an extended
operating range rivaling the best analog and Digital
Hybrid Wireless® systems with tracking filters that stay
centered on the selected frequency.
DSP algorithms provide compatibility with Lectrosonics
DSW and Duet digital wireless transmitters, and with
Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless® transmitters.
The receiver provides a USB port for firmware updates
and an IR port for fast setup. A large, high resolution,
backlit LCD and large membrane switches provide an
intuitive interface that is highly visible in daylight or
dimly lit conditions.
Wireless Designer™ software integrates the digital and
Digital Hybrid Wireless into a single control panel with
site scanning and frequency coordination. The software
is free and can be used while connected to equipment
or offline in planning a multi-channel system.
Antenna ports on the rear panel accept input from
remote antennas, with a “loop-thru” output to another
mainframe using the internal multicoupler. A kit is also
available to mount antenna inputs (BNC connectors) on
the front panel.
General Technical
Description
Encryption
When transmitting audio, there are situations where
privacy is essential, such as during professional sporting events, in court rooms or private meetings. For
instances where your audio transmission needs to be
kept secure, without sacrificing audio quality, Lectrosonics introduces Encryption Keys. Truly entropic encryption keys are first created by the DSQD Receiver. The
key is then synced with an encryption-capable transmitter, via the IR port. The audio will be encrypted and can
only be listened to if both DSQD and transmitter have
the matching encryption key. If you are trying to transmit
an audio signal and keys do not match, all that will be
heard is silence or white noise.

Digital Hybrid Wireless® Technology
All wireless links suffer from channel noise to some degree, and all wireless microphone systems seek to minimize the impact of that noise on the desired signal. Conventional analog systems use compandors for enhanced
dynamic range, at the cost of subtle artifacts (known as
“pumping” and “breathing”). Wholly digital systems defeat
the noise by sending the audio information in digital form.
To support the installed base of Digital Hybrid Wireless
systems, the DSQD receiver includes DSP algorithums
for compatibility with Digital Hybrid Transmitters.
LCD Screen
Easy navigation of all setup parameters is provided by
a full color, backlit, LCD screen and membrane push
buttons. The high resolution display provides comprehensive monitoring of all receiver parameters.
What is Dante?
Audinate’s patent pending Dante™ technology is a
flexible Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet based digital
AV network technology that eliminates the many bulky
cables needed to provide point-to-point wiring for analog AV installations.
With Dante, existing infrastructure can be used for high
performance audio as well as for ordinary control, monitoring or business data traffic. Digital networks utilize
standard IP over Ethernet offering high bandwidth capable of transporting hundreds of high quality channels
over Gigabit Ethernet.
Set-up and configuring the system is made easy as
well, saving enormous installation costs and long term
cost of ownership on a digital network. The physical
connecting point is irrelevant: audio signals can be
made available anywhere and everywhere. Patching
and routing now become logical functions configured in
software, not via physical wired links
Summary of Dante Benefits
• Plug-and-play technology – automatic discovery
and simple signal routing
• Reduced Cost & Complexity- No special skills
required to set up audio networking
• Sample accurate playback synchronization
• Add/remove/rearrange components at will
• Deterministic latency throughout the network
• Support mixed bit depths and mixed sample
rates over one network
• Scalable, flexible network topology supporting a
large number of senders and receivers
• Supports 1Gbps networks
• Supports a single integrated network for audio,
video, control, monitoring
• Uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf computer
networking equipment

NOTE: Also see Encryption Key Management.
Encryption Key Management
The DSQD generates truly entropic encryption keys
to sync with encryption-capable transmitters. Begin by
selecting a key policy. The DSQD will then prompt that
there is NO KEY! CREATE KEY will generate a new
key. Set the matching KEY TYPE in the transmitter, then
transfer the key from the DSQD (SYNC KEY) to the
transmitter via the IR ports. A confirmation message will
display once the transfer is successful. The transmitted
audio will then be encrypted and can only be listened to
if the transmitter has the matching encryption key.
The DSQD has three options for encryption keys:
• Standard: This is the highest level of security.
The encryption keys are unique to the DSQD and
there are only 256 key instances available to be
transferred to a transmitter. The receiver tracks the
number of keys generated and the number of times
each key is transferred. Once a Standard key has
been transferred 256 times, you will be alerted that
a new key must be created.
• Shared: There are an unlimited number of
shared keys available. Once generated by the
DSQD and transferred to a transmitter, the encryption key is available to be shared (synced) by the
transmitter with other transmitters/receivers via the
IR port.
Page 11
Digital Receiver
Rio Rancho, NM
11
• Universal: This is the most convenient encryption option available. All encryption-capable
Lectrosonics transmitters and receivers contain
the Universal Key. The key does not have to be
generated by the DSQD. Simply set a Lectrosonics encryption-capable transmitter and the DSQD
to Universal, and the encryption is in place. This
allows for convenient encryption amongst multiple
transmitters and receivers, but not as secure as
creating a unique key.
NOTE: See Sync Key to send/receive encryption
keys.

Service and Repair
If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment
needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnecting
cables and then go through the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connection,
send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the
factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment. There are
no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.
LECTROSONICS’ Service Department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In warranty repairs
are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest
flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does
to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone
for out-of-warranty repairs.
Returning Units for Repair
For timely service, please follow the steps below:
A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by email or by phone. We need
to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a
phone number where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time).
B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed
your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown
on the outside of the shipping container.
C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the
proper packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be “double-boxed” for
safe transport.
D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or dam-
age to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
