The normal condition of using this device is to keep the hand at least 20mm away from the base of the microphone. 3 General Technical Description Introduction The HHa handheld transmitter uses state-of-the-art Digital Hybrid Wireless wireless technology, select-
able output power and a versatile microphone capsule mounting system to meet the needs of audio profes-
sionals and vocalists. The compandor-free Digital Hybrid audio chain pre-
serves the quality of the selected microphone capsule and delivers it to the sound and recording system without coloration. This superb audio performance and highly reliable RF transmission makes it ideally suited for high end stage and studio production. Digital Signal Processor The DSP encodes the digitized audio from the A-D converter and adds an ultrasonic pilot tone to control the receivers squelch in systems that use pilot tone. It also controls the input limiter and audio metering. Compatibility Modes The transmitter was designed to operate with Lec-
trosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless receivers and will yield the best performance when doing so. Along with providing peerless audio quality with wide frequency response and dynamic range in Digital Hybrid and Nu Hybrid modes, the technology used in the HHa in-
cludes compatibility modes for Lectrosonics 200 Series, Lectrosonics 100 Series, Mode 3 and IFB receivers, as well as certain non-Lectronics analog receivers in special compatibility modes. Contact the Lectrosonics Sales Department for a complete list of compatible receivers. WARNING: Compatibility modes depend on model. See specs for detailed informaiton. Digital Hybrid Wireless Technology All wireless links suffer from channel noise to some degree and all wireless microphone systems seek to minimize the impact of that noise on the desired signal. Conventional analog systems use compandors to increase the signal to noise ratio, at the cost of distor-
tion artifacts. Wholly digital systems defeat the noise by sending the audio information in digital form, at the cost of some combination of power, bandwidth or channel count. The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless system over-
comes channel noise by digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog compandor. Instead, it is a technique that can be accomplished only in the digital domain, even though the inputs and outputs are analog signals. Because it uses an analog FM link, the system enjoys all the benefits of conventional FM wireless systems, such as excellent range, efficient use of RF spectrum, and long battery life. However, unlike conventional FM systems, the design has eliminated the analog com-
pandor and its artifacts. 4 Pilot Tone Squelch Frequency Selection The benefit of the pilot tone squelch system is that the associated receiver will remain muted until it receives the pilot tone from the matching transmitter, even if a strong RF signal is present on the carrier frequency of the system. All Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitters use one of 256 different ultrasonic tones between 25 and 32 kHz in each standard frequency to operate the receiver squelch. The HHa is a wideband design that tunes across three standard bands (up to 76 MHz). The pilot tone frequen-
cy is determined by the selected operating frequency in 100 kHz steps. In other words, the same pilot tone is used for all four frequencies within each 100 kHz step of the tuning range. This preserves compatibility with earlier Digital Hybrid products that tune across a single frequency band (25.6 MHz). Input Gain Range and Limiter 45 dB range of input gain adjustment allows gain settings to accurately match the users voice and the varying sensitivity of different microphone capsules. A DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is employed be-
fore the A-D converter. The limiter has a range of more than 30 dB for excellent overload protection. A dual re-
lease envelope makes the limiter acoustically transpar-
ent while maintaining low distortion. It can be thought of as two limiters in series, a fast attack and release limiter followed by a slow attack and release limiter. The limiter recovers quickly from brief transients, with no audible side effects, and also recovers slowly from sustained high levels to keep audio distortion low while preserving short term dynamics. Long Battery Life Switching power supplies throughout the design al-
low over 5 hours of operation using two alkaline AA batteries. The battery compartment and contacts are designed to prevent rattle as the unit is handled. Menu-Driven Control A high-resolution LCD and control panel with mem-
brane switches provide access to the menu-driven setup. Transmitter RF power, high-pass filter, frequency selection, backlight timeout, mute or talkback functions and tuning modes are easily accessed. Wideband Tuning Range The transmitter can tune across bands of up to 76 MHz in either 100 kHz or 25 kHz steps. Operating frequency is normally selected using a receiver or analyzer to assess signals in the local en-
vironment to avoid interference. Once an interference-
free frequency is identified, the transmitter frequency is set to match the receiver. The LCD on the transmitter displays frequency in MHz and with a two character hex code that is used on most Lectrosonics receivers. Antenna A newly designed helical antenna allows the transmit-
ter to be held in any position, since the users hands have little or no effect on the RF output power. Microphone Capsules The transmitter is available from Lectrosonics with the HHC and HHVMC cardioid condenser capsules. Capsules from several other manufacturers are also available for use with the HHa: those with a 1.25 x 28 thread pitch and three contact rings. Condenser or dynamic microphone heads can be used with the HHa, depending on the users preference or the application. IR (infrared) Sync An IR Sync Port is used for quick setup with receivers that offer this feature. Settings for frequency, step size and compatibility mode are transferred from receiver to transmitter via the IR ports. Side Button Functions A programmable switch on the side of the housing can be configured as a mute/cough switch, to provide a talkback function, a power switch, or be disabled. The talkback function provides a communication channel when used with a receiver equipped with this feature, such as a Venue Wideband receiver with ap-
propriate firmware. When pressed and held in, the side switch re-directs the audio output to a different audio channel on the receiver. As soon as the switch is re-
leased, audio is returned to the program channel. The talkback function works only in the Digital Hybrid compatibility mode. USB Port for Firmware Updates Firmware updates are enabled by simply downloading a file and utility program from the Lectrosonics web-
site, connecting the transmitter to a computer via the USB port, and running the program. 5 A mic capsule is threaded onto the body of the transmitter in the direction shown. Do not overtighten it. Mechanical Assembly The lower housing opens by rotating it in the direction shown. After the threads are disengaged, pull the housing downward until it engages the detent that holds it open. The threaded interface is a 1.25 diameter opening with 28 threads per inch and three contact rings Microphone Capsules:
Lectrosonics offers two types of capsules. The HHC is the standard capsule and the HHVMC is the Variable Mic Capsule which includes adjustments for Bass, Midrange and Treble. Do not touch the contacts between the mic capsule and transmitter body. When necessary, the contacts can be cleaned with a cotton swab and alcohol. HHC Lectrosonics cardioid electret HHVMC Lectrosonics cardioid electret with VariMic preamp Along with these two models from Lectrosonics, a variety of different capsules with a common thread and electrical interface are available from the major microphone manufacturers. A list of compatible capsules is on the website at www. lectrosonics.com listed on the HHa transmitter page. Capsule Installation Capsules are attached with a right-hand thread. To remove the windscreen from the mic capsule, line up the blue wrench (included with the capsule head) with the flat notches on the lower threaded area of the mic capsule. Align flats on the wrench with flats on the capsule.

ity is marked on the label in the bottom of the battery compartment. Six membrane switches on the control panel are used to set up the transmitter by navigating the menus on the LCD and selecting the desired values. Close eject lever to install batteries UP/DOWN Buttons for Menu Item Selection Power Button Modulation LEDs To remove the batteries, pull the eject lever outward. The battery tips will move outward, making them easier to grasp. Pull eject lever outward to release batteries from contacts The contacts are very tight to prevent the batteries from rattling as the transmitter is being handled. IR Sync The IR SYNC (infrared sync) port is used with receiv-
ers that offer this feature. Settings stored in the receiv-
er for frequency, step size and compatibility mode are transferred to the transmitter via the infrared ports. To use this feature, open the housing on the transmitter to expose the control panel. Hold the transmitter near the receiver (less than 3 feet away) so the IR ports face each other. The transfer is triggered by a switch on the receiver. The LCD on the transmitter will display a message confirming that the settings were success-
fully transferred, or an error message that identifies the problem that occurred.

-10 dB to +0 dB
+0 dB to +10 dB Greater than +10 dB Off Green Green Red Red Off Off Green Green Red It is best to go through the following procedure with the transmitter in the standby mode so that no audio will enter the sound system, which could cause feedback. 1) With fresh batteries in the transmitter, power the unit on into standby (no transmission) mode. 2) Press the MENU/SEL button once to enter the setup menu. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select Gain. Press the MENU/SEL button again to enter the setup screen. 3) Hold the microphone the way it will be used in actual operation. 4) Speak or sing at the same voice level that will actually be used during the program, while ob-
serving the modulation LEDs. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the gain until the 20 dB LED starts to flicker red and the 10 dB glows green. 5) Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can be sent through the sound system for overall level adjustments, monitor settings, etc. To do this, the unit must be set to transmit (see Powering On and Off, and the Standby Mode on page 7). NOTE: Full modulation is achieved when the
-20 LED first turns red. 30 dB of clean limiting is available above this point. Programmable Switch Functions NOTE: The Power and Cough functions were added starting with serial number 1001. A special button (the Side Button) on the outside of the housing can be configured to provide several differ-
ent functions, or to be inoperative. Side Button The ProgSw on the control panel opens a setup screen to set the Side Button function. Enter this setup screen and then use the UP/DOWN arrows to select the desired function, then press the MENU/SEL button to return to the Main Window. Functions:

ment needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the inter-
connecting cables and then go through the Troubleshooting section in this manual. We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose con-
nection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Dont attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require read-
justment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working. LECTROSONICS Service Department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In-warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a mod-
est flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out-of-warranty repairs. Returning Units for Repair For timely service, please follow the steps below:
A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by letter or by phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time). B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container. C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be double-boxed for safe transport. D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or damage to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you. Mailing address:
