ADXFD2 Handheld Transmitter

ADX series transmitters deliver impeccable audio quality and RF performance, and are equipped with ShowLink® remote control for real-time parameter
adjustments and interference avoidance. This transmitter additionally features Frequency Diversity for seamless audio in even the most challenging en­vironments. Light-weight aluminum construction, AA or SB920 rechargeable power options (with dockable charging).

Features

Performance

• 184 MHz tuning range

• Frequency Diversity enables simultaneous transmission on two inde­pendent frequencies to ensure seamless, uninterrupted audio for mis­sion-critical applications. Single carrier mode is available if Frequency
Diversity is not required.

• 20 Hz to 20 kHz range with flat frequency response

• Automatic input staging optimizes gain setting

• Diversity ShowLink-enabled for remote transmitter control and automat­ic interference avoidance

• AES 256-bit encryption-enabled for secure transmission

• >120 dB, A-weighted, System Gain @ +10

• Dante Output: >130dB, A-weighted, System Gain @ +10

• 100 meter (300 feet) line-of-sight operating range

• Selectable modulation modes optimize performance for spectral effi­ciency or audio quality:

- Standard – optimal coverage, low latency

- High density – dramatic increase in max system channel count

• Switchable Power Levels in single carrier mode = 2/10/50 mW (region
dependent)

• Power Level 2x20 mW in frequency diversity mode (region dependent)

• Built-in tone generator and RF markers to facilitate range-testing
