Compact Receiver
TECHNICAL DATA
• Tunes over a 75 MHz range*
• Tracking front-end filters
• Digital Hybrid Wireless® with compatibility
modes for use with earlier transmitters
• Compact size powered by two AA batteries
or an optional battery eliminator
• LCD with RF spectrum scanning
• SmartSquelch
filtering and squelch
• DSP-based pilot tone for squelch control
• USB port for firmware updates
• IR sync port for transmitter setup
Excellent performance in a small package for ENG and
DSLR video production is the purpose and intent of
the LR receiver design. Tracking front-end filters block
interference from high powered RF signals on nearby
channels to preserve the extended operating range. RF
spectrum scanning displays accurate results on the LCD
to make finding clear spectrum quick and easy.
The receiver is powered by internal AA batteries or with
an optional battery eliminator. The top panel includes
an IR port for transmitter setup. Firmware updates are
enabled via a USB port on the side panel. The housing is
made from a solid machined aluminum billet.
TM
DSP-controlled, noise based
Digital Hybrid Wireless® is a patented design
that combines 24-bit digital audio with an
analog FM radio link to provide outstanding
audio quality and the extended operating
range of the finest analog wireless systems.
The design overcomes channel noise in a
dramatically different 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.
Instead, it is a technique which can be accomplished only in the digital domain, even
though the audio inputs and outputs are
analog signals.

(contact the factory for details)
SmartNR (noise reduction): OFF, NORMAL, FULL modes
(available in Digital Hybrid mode only)
System frequency response: 32 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 1 dB) receiver only
(see transmitter documentation for overall
system response)
Signal to noise ratio:
Note: The dual envelope “soft”
limiter provides exceptionally
good handling of transients
using variable attack and
release time constants.
Once activated, the limiter compresses 30+ dB of transmitter input range into
4.5 dB of receiver output range, thus reducing the measured figure for SNR
without limiting by 4.5 dB
Total harmonic distortion: <0.4 (0.2% typical in Digital Hybrid mode)
