About Digital Hybrid Wireless
®
US Patent 7,225,135
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, however, it is often at the cost of one
or more issues regarding power, bandwidth, operating
range and resistance to interference.
The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless system overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally
encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it
in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary
algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog
compandor but a technique which can be accomplished
only in the digital domain.
Since the RF link between transmitter and receiver is
FM, channel noise will increase gradually with increased operating range and weakened signal conditions; however, the Digital Hybrid Wireless system
handles this situation elegantly with barely audible
audio artifacts as the receiver approaches its squelch
threshold.
In contrast, a purely digital system tends to drop the
audio suddenly during brief dropouts and weak signal
conditions. The Digital Hybrid Wireless system simply
encodes the signal to use a noisy channel as efficiently
and robustly as possible, yielding audio performance
that rivals that of purely digital systems, without the
power, noise and bandwidth problems inherent in digital
transmission. Because it uses an analog FM link, Digital
Hybrid Wireless enjoys all the benefits of conventional
FM wireless systems, such as excellent range, efficient
use of RF spectrum, and long battery life.

Controls and Functions
Modulation
LEDs
Modulation LEDs
Proper input gain adjustment is critical to ensure the
best audio quality. Two bicolor LEDs will glow either red
or green to accurately indicate modulation levels. The
input circuitry includes a wide range DSP controlled
limiter to prevent distortion at high input levels.
It is important to set the gain (audio level) high enough
to achieve full modulation during louder peaks in the
audio. The limiter can handle over 30 dB of level above
full modulation, so with an optimum setting, the LEDs
will flash red during use. If the LEDs never flash red, the
gain is too low. In the table below, +0 dB indicates full
modulation.
Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED
Less than -20 dB Off Off
-20 dB to -10 dB Green Off
-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green
+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green
Greater than +10 db Red Red
LCD Screen
The LCD is a numeric-type Liquid Crystal Display with
screens for adjusting output power, frequency, audio
level, low frequency audio roll-off and various modes
and options. The transmitter can be powered up with or
without the RF output turned on. A brief press on the
power button turns the unit on in a Standby Mode with
the output turned off to allow adjustments to be made
without interfering with other wireless systems in the
vicinity.
WARNING: Moisture, including talent’s sweat,
will damage the transmitter. Wrap the SSM in
a plastic baggie or other protection to avoid
damage.
BATT LED

BATT LED
This LED glows green when the battery is good. The
color changes to red when there is only a few minutes
of operation left. The LED will blink briefly, just before
the unit powers down.
The exact point at which the LED turns red will vary
with battery brand and condition, temperature and current drain. The LED is intended to simply catch your
attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining time.
AUDIO Button
The AUDIO button is used to adjust the audio output
level and low frequency roll-off. Each press of the button
will toggle between the two settings.
FREQ Button
The FREQ Button displays the selected operating
frequency and toggles the LCD between displaying
the actual operating frequency in MHz and a two-digit
hexadecimal number that corresponds to the equivalent
Lectrosonics Frequency Switch Setting.
Power Button
Turns the unit on and off. A brief press turns power on
in a Standby Mode to make settings without interfering
with other wireless systems in the vicinity. Pressing and
holding the button until a counter on the LCD completes
a sequence turns the power on with the RF output
turned on. Pressing and holding for the duration of a
countdown turns the unit off.
UP and DOWN Arrow Buttons
The Up and Down arrow buttons are used to select the
values on the various setup screens and to lock out the
control panel.
Turning LEDs ON and OFF
These arrow keys also turn the LEDs on and off. With
no other button pressed, the UP arrow turns the LEDs
on and the DOWN arrow turns them off. When the LEDs
turn red, the LCD will display a reminder every few
seconds.

Operating Instructions
Powering On in Operating Mode
Press and hold the Power Button for several seconds
until a counter on the LCD progresses from 1 through
3, followed by a display of the model, firmware version,
frequency block and compatibility mode.
When you release the button, the unit will be operational with the RF output turned on and the Main Window
displayed.
Powering On in Standby Mode
A brief press of the Power Button , releasing it before
the counter has reached 3, will turn the unit on with the
RF output turned off. The LCD will display a reminder
that the RF output of the transmitter is turned off.
In this Standby Mode the frequency can be browsed
to make adjustments without the risk of interfering with
other wireless systems nearby.
After adjustments are made, press the power button
again to turn the unit off.
Screens Used in Normal Operation
When the transmitter is turned on with the RF output
on, the LCD will display the frequency, audio gain or LF
roll-off point.
Audio gain is expressed in dB.

Powering Off
Holding the Power Button in and waiting for the
completion of the countdown from 3 to 1 will turn the
power off.
If the power button is released before the countdown is
completed, the unit will remain turned on and the LCD
will return to the same screen or menu that was displayed previously.
Setup Screens
Two different setup menus are accessed by holding
either the UP or DOWN arrow button while powering
the unit on. See the following page (Setup Screens) for
a listing of the menu items and descriptions.
Block 470/19 Frequency Overlap
Frequencies 486.400 - 495.600 Overlap in Blocks 470 and 19
Block 470 and block 19 overlap each other in the
frequency range from 486.400 to 495.600 MHz. Since
block 470 starts at a lower frequency than block 19,
the hex codes (and pilot tones) will not match even
though the frequencies are the same in the overlap
zone. When using a transmitter on the A1 band with
a block 19 receiver, be sure the transmitter is set to
block 19 and check the hex code on the receiver to
make sure it matches the transmitter.
Call the factory if you have questions about this issue.

Setup Steps
The setup menus are accessed by holding either the
UP or DOWN arrow while powering the unit on. Refer
to Setup Screens on the next page for details of each
setup parameter.
The following list outlines the steps necessary to set up
the transmitter for normal use.
1) Install a charged battery.
2) Set the compatibility mode to match the receiver to be
used.
3) Adjust the step size and frequency to match the receiver. The frequency is normally determined using
the receiver to identify one within clear operating
spectrum. Refer to the receiver instructions for details on using features such as scanning.
NOTE: Some Lectrosonics receivers include an
IR (infrared) port to transfer settings from the
receiver to the transmitter. Refer to the section on
IR (infrared) Sync for details.
4) Connect the microphone or audio source to be used.
Select the correct input configuration.
5) Adjust the input gain. Refer to Adjusting the Input
Gain for details.
6) Turn on the receiver and verify that solid RF and audio
signals are present (see receiver manual).
Locking the Controls
The firmware version is displayed briefly when powering
up the transmitter.
For firmware versions 1.06 and lower:
Lock the controls by holding the UP and DOWN arrows until a count displayed on the LCD is completed
and Loc appears on the LCD. To unlock the controls,
remove the battery.
For firmware versions 1.07 and higher:
Lock the controls by holding the UP and DOWN arrows
until a count displayed on the LCD is completed and
Loc appears on the LCD. To unlock the controls, hold
the UP and DOWN arrows until a count on the LCD is
completed and unloc appears on the LCD. Removing
the battery does not unlock the controls.
Adjusting the Input Gain
The two bicolor Modulation LEDs on the control panel
provide a visual indication of the audio signal level
entering the transmitter. The LEDs will glow either red
or green to indicate modulation levels as shown in the
following table.
Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED
Less than -20 dB Off Off
-20 dB to -10 dB
-10 dB to +0 dB
+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green
Greater than +10 dB Red Red
NOTE: Full modulation is achieved at 0 dB, when
the “-20” LED first turns red. The limiter can cleanly
handle peaks up to 30 dB above this point.
It is best to go through the following procedure with the
transmitter in the standby mode so that no audio will enter the sound system or recorder during adjustment.
1) With a charged battery in the transmitter, power the
unit on in the standby mode (see previous section
Powering On in Standby Mode).
2) Press and hold the AUDIO button with Aud and a
numeral on the display (e.g. Aud 22).
3) Prepare the signal source. Position a microphone the
way it will be used in actual operation and have the
user speak or sing at the loudest level that occur
during use, or set the output level of the instrument
or audio device to the maximum level that will be
used.
4) Use the
the –10 dB glows green and the –20 dB LED starts
to flicker red during the loudest peaks in the audio.
5) Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can
be sent through the sound system for overall level
adjustments, monitor settings, etc.
6) If the audio output level of the receiver is too high or
low, use only the controls on the receiver to make
adjustments. Unless the microphone or its position
changes, or a different instrument is being used,
leave the transmitter gain adjustment set according to these instructions. Use the audio output level
control on the receiver to make adjustments for
the desired level being delivered to the connected
mixer, recorder, etc.

IR (infrared) Sync
An IR (infrared) link between an associated receiver
and the transmitter can be used to shorten setup time
and ensure that the correct settings in the transmitter
are made. The dome on the side panel of the transmitter is the port used for the IR link. The receiver is normally used to identify a clear operating frequency. Once
step size, frequency and compatibility mode are set in
the receiver, the settings can be sent to the transmitter
via this IR link.
IR port
Place the transmitter close to the IR enabled receiver
with the ports facing each other within a foot or two
apart. Send the settings with the trigger on the receiver.
If the settings are successfully transferred, a confirmation message will appear on the transmitter LCD.
NOTE: If a mismatch exists between the receiver
and transmitter, an error message will appear on
the transmitter LCD stating what the problem is.
Removable Belt Clips
Two different belt clips are available, one that orients
the antenna downward and another one that orients the
antenna upward. Attaching and removing the clips is the
same for both models.
A belt clip is removed by rotating it as shown and sliding
it off the retaining tabs on the battery door.
To attach a belt clip, align the notches with the retaining
tabs, then press on the clip to attach it.
Press clip into place with tabs

LectroRM
By New Endian LLC
LectroRM is a mobile application for iOS and Android
smart phone operating systems. Its purpose is to make
changes to the settings on select Lectrosonics transmitters by delivering encoded audio tones to the microphone attached to the transmitter. When the tone enters
the transmitter, it is decoded to make a change to a variety of different settings such as input gain, frequency
and a number of others.
The app was released by New Endian, LLC in September 2011. The app is available for download and sells
for about $20 on the Apple App Store and Google Play
Store.
The settings and values that can be changed vary from
one transmitter model to another. The complete list of
available tones in the app is as follows:
• Input gain
• Frequency
• Sleep Mode
• Panel LOCK/UNLOCK
• RF output power
• Low frequency audio roll-off
• LEDs ON/OFF
The user interface involves selecting the audio sequence related to the desired change. Each version has
an interface for selecting the desired setting and the
desired option for that setting. Each version also has a
mechanism to prevent accidental activation of the tone.
iOS
Micro Body Pack Transmitter
Android
The Android version keeps all settings on the same
page and allows the user to toggle between the activation buttons for each setting. The activation button must
be pressed and held to activate the tone. The Android
version also allows users to keep a configurable list of
full sets of settings.
Activation
For a transmitter to respond to remote control audio
tones, the transmitter must meet certain requirements:
• The transmitter must be turned on.
• The transmitter must have firmware version 1.5 or
later for Audio, Frequency, Sleep and Lock changes.
• The transmitter microphone must be within range.
• The remote control function must be enabled on the
transmitter.
Please be aware this app is not a Lectrosonics
product. It is privately owned and operated by
New Endian LLC, www.newendian.com.
The iPhone version keeps each available setting on a
separate page with the list of options for that setting.
On iOS, the “Activate” toggle switch must be enabled to
show the button which will then activate the tone. The
iOS version’s default orientation is upside-down but can
be configured to orient right-side up. The purpose for
this is to orient the phone’s speaker, which is at the bottom of the device, closer to the transmitter microphone.

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.
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 e-mail 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 or FEDEX 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 damage to
equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
