STL RECEIVER
MODEL 5290
STL TRANSMITTER
The TFT 5200 Analog STL Series consists of a transmitter and receiver pair that accommodates a
single RF channel. The transmitter is either composite or mono. Receivers are available in
composite/mono, composite only, and monaural only versions. Both the transmitter and receiver are
frequency agile across a specific band and all bands from 140 MHz to 1.7 GHz are available. The
Model 5290 Transmitter covers 944-952 MHz, along with its companion composite/mono receiver,
the Model 5291.
The transmitter has a 20-Watt output and is frequency agile in 6.25 kHz steps, set by front panel
switches.
FEATURES:
• 20 Watts
• Selectable Pre-/De-Emphasis
