Architectural Specifications

The wireless microphone transmitter shall operate in the UHF band with a switching bandwidth of up to 75 MHz. The transmitter
shall utilize pilot tone squelch control to suppress unwanted noise and use technologies such as an optimized PLL synthesizer and
HDX noise reduction for improved sound quality, minimized drop-outs, and best possible signal-to-noise ratio.

The transmitter shall be frequency agile with up to 3000 frequencies programmable in 25 KHz steps, with each of the 20 factory
frequency banks providing up to 64 intermodulation-free frequencies. Additional 6 user frequency banks shall allow for custom­ized setups in order to avoid RF interference.

The transmitting power shall be selectable between 10mW, 30mW, 50mW, and 100mW.

The transmitter shall be menu-driven with an LC display showing current frequency, frequency bank and channel number, me­tering of AF level, pilot tone evaluation, equalization settings, input sensitivity, muting function, battery status, and lock status.
Programming of the transmitter shall be done via the menu or infra-red synchronization with the receiver. For safety reasons the
RF signal shall be mutable.
