SPECIFICATIONS
RF Carrier Frequency Range
662-692 MHz
Working Range
U1, U2: 152.4 m, minimum, under typical conditions; 487.6 m line of sight
NOTE: Actual working range depends on RF signal absorption, reflection and interference
Audio Frequency Response
50 to 15,000 Hz, ±2 dB. NOTE: Overall system frequency response depends on the microphone element
Gain Adjustment Range
U1: 0 to 40 dB
U2: 0 to 26 dB
Modulation
±45 kHz deviation compressor-expander system with pre-and de-emphasis
RF Power Output
U1, U2: 10 mW maximum
Dynamic Range
>110 dB, A-weighted
RF Sensitivity (Typical)
U4S U4D
-110 dBm
12 dB SINAD
-105 dBm
30 dB SINAD
Image Rejection
100 dB typical
Spurious Rejection

plug) produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 of low impedance output and the
tip of the high impedance 1/4-inch output
System Distortion (ref. ±45 kHz deviation, 1 kHz modulation)
<0.3% Total Harmonic Distortion typical
Power Requirements
