LECTROSONICS, INC. 2
Introduction
The SM Series variable power transmitters are the
product of many years of engineering and experience in
professional audio markets. The unique design provides
several distinct features for professional applications:
• Selectable output power to maximize battery life or
operating range as needed
• Superb, compandor-free audio quality
• Ultra-lightweight, corrosion resistant housing
• Water resistant seals for use in damp environments
• Programmable compatibility modes for use with a
wide variety of different receivers
The Digital Hybrid Wireless ® design (US Patent
7,225,135) combines 24-bit digital audio with analog
FM resulting in a system that has the same operating
range as analog systems, the same spectral efficiency
as analog systems, the same long battery life as analog
systems, plus the excellent audio fidelity typical of pure
digital systems.
The SM Series transmitters feature the unique servo
bias input circuitry with a standard TA5M type input jack
for use with electret lavaliere mics, dynamic mics, or
line level signals. A water resistant control panel with
LCD, membrane switches and multi-color LEDs make
input gain adjustments, frequency and compatibility
mode selection quick and accurate, without having to
view the receiver. The battery compartment accepts
AA lithium or rechargeable batteries. The housings are
machined from solid aluminum blocks to provide an
extremely lightweight and rugged package. A special
non-corrosive finish resists salt water exposure and
perspiration in extreme environments.
The DSP-based design works with all Digital Hybrid
receivers, and is backward compatible for use with
Lectrosonics 200 Series, 100 Series, IFB receivers and
some other brands of analog wireless receivers.
