Product description

• HMa UHF Plug-On Wireless Transmitter (A1: 470.100 to 537.575 MHz)
  • Hands On Review : Lectrosonics L-Series Wireless System
  The HMa from Lectrosonics is a UHF plug-on transmitter that accepts mic or line-level signals via a standard XLR connector. It has selectable 5, 15, & 48V phantom power and can be used when paired with a Lectrosonics receiver and handheld microphone - sold separately - in applications for ENG (Electronic News Gathering), EFP (Electronic Field Productions), interviews for broadcast TV, and more. The input amplifier of the HMa transmitter uses an ultra-low noise op-amp for quiet operation and is gain controlled with a wide range dual envelope limiter. A 24-bit A to D converter digitizes the audio, and filters the supersonic noise above 21 kHz. The resulting signal is encoded with a proprietary algorithm to produce an analog data signal for RF transmission. Featuring a wide tuning range of 76 MHz, with tuning steps in increments of 100 kHz or 25 kHz for up to 3072 frequencies, the HMa transmitter also covers three standard 25.6 MHz Lectrosonics frequency blocks. Each block provides 256 different pilot tone frequencies. Legacy analog wireless microphone and IFB receivers are designed to work in DSP compatibility mode, as well as some receivers from other manufacturers. Finally, the transmitter is powered by two AA batteries, with status indicated by a multi-color LED. A USB port is also provided for firmware updates, and an IR (infrared) port is included to simplify setup with IR enabled receivers.
  • Digital Hybrid Wireless is a revolutionary design that combines digital audio with an analog FM radio link to provide outstanding audio quality and the exemplary RF performance of the finest analog wireless systems
  • Multi-color LED status indicator
  • Selectable 50/100 mW output power
  • 76 MHz tuning range in 100 kHz or 25 kHz steps for up to 3072 frequencies
  • The antenna is formed between the machined aluminum housing of the transmitter and the attached microphone or cable. It functions as a dipole radiator when attached to a hand-held microphone and somewhat like a ground plane antenna when connected with a cable or plugged directly into a mixer
• L Series LR Mini Hybrid Portable Wireless Receiver (A1: 470.100 to 537.575 MHz) The LR Wireless Receiver from Lectrosonics is a digital hybrid ultra-compact portable wireless bodypack receiver with 75 MHz tuning bandwidth and with tracking front-end filters. When paired with a transmitter and microphone it can be used to capture audio in environments for applications such as broadcast TV, video production, ENG field work, and more. The LR has several other features to help provide good clear audio, such as compatibility modes to allow the receiver to operate with older analog receivers. Dual antenna diversity helps to improve range and resistance to dropouts. There is also a built-in RF spectrum analyzer and SmartTune scan, which make finding a clean frequency on-site quick and easy. In addition, the LR receiver is enclosed in machined-aluminum housing and built with detachable antennas that allow for remote antenna mounting. LCD and membrane switch interfaces provide clear information for setup and status monitoring. This transmitter operates in the A1 frequency band between 470.100 to 537.575 MHz.
• LRSHOE Receiver Mount Kit for LR Receiver The LRSHOE Receiver Mount Kit from Lectrosonics is an accessory shoe for the LR Digital Hybrid wireless receiver. It can be used to mount the receiver to a DSLR type camera or accessory bracket. This LRSHOE kit is supplied with all the parts needed to mount the receiver securely.
• MCSRXLR TA3 to XLR Cable for SR Receiver (12") The Lectrosonics MCSRXLR TA3 to XLR Cable measures 12" (30.48cm) and is intended for use with the SR receiver, when used with the External Mounting Kit SREXT. The XLR connector adapts to the balanced inputs on professional cameras.
• MCLRTRS Audio Patch Cord for LR Receiver with 1/8" TRS Camera Input (20") The MCLRTRS from Lectrosonics is an 20" audio patch cord with a TA3F (mini XLR) on one end and a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) TRS (stereo) mini plug on the other end. It is designed for use with LR series receivers, and also works with SR series receivers with the SREXT adapter installed. It can be used for audio applications such as DSLR cameras, recorders, and more. Pin 2 of the TA3 connector feeds the tip and ring connections on the mini plug so both channels of a stereo recorder receive audio.
