Frequency Range and Transmitter Output Level

Band Range SLX1/SLX2 MX690/

H5 518–542 MHz 30 mW 10 mW
J3 572–596 MHz 28 mW 28 mW
L4 638–662 MHz 30 mW 10 mW
P4 702–726 MHz 30 mW 10 mW
R5 800–820 MHz 20 mW 10 mW

R13 794–806 MHz 20 mW 10 mW
G4 470–494 MHz 30 mW 10 mW
G5 494–518 MHz 30 mW 10 mW

Operating Range:

30–100 m (100–300 ft.) under typical
conditions, depending on transmitter type

Note: actual range depends on RF signal absorption,
reection, and interference.

Audio Frequency Response:
Minimum: 45 Hz, Maximum: 15 kHz (± 2 dB)

Total Harmonic Distortion:

0.5%, typical (ref. ± 38 kHz deviation, 1 kHz tone)

Dynamic Range:

>100 dB A-weighted

Operating Temperature Range:
–18°C (0°F) to +50°C (+122°F)

Note: battery characteristics may limit this range.

Transmitter 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 ¼-inch output.

NOTE: This radio apparatus may be capable of
operating on some frequencies not authorized in your
region. Please contact your national authority to obtain
information on authorized frequencies and output power
levels for wireless microphone products in your region.
