SPECIFICATIONS
RF Carrier Frequency Range
774–782 MHz
Working Range
152.4 m (500 ft), minimum, under typical conditions; 487.6 m (1600 ft ) line of sight
NOTE: Actual working range depends on RF signal absorption, reflection and
interfer ence
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
>102 dB, A-weighted
RF Sensitivity

Audio Polarity
Positive pressure on microphone diaphragm (or positive voltage applied to tip of
WA302 phone plug) produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 of
low impedance output and the tip of the high impedance
System Distortion (ref. ±45 kHz deviation, 1 kHz modulation)
0.3% Total Harmonic Distortion typical
