Wireless Belt-Pack TransmitterRio Rancho, NM Introduction The design of the LT transmitter delivers the advanced technology and features of Digital Hybrid Wireless in a Lectrosonics belt-pack transmitter at a modest cost. Digital Hybrid Wireless combines a 24-bit digital audio chain with an analog FM radio link to eliminate a compandor and its artifacts, yet preserve the extended operating range and noise rejection of the finest analog wireless systems. DSP compatibility modes allow the LT to also be used with a variety of analog receivers by emulating the compandors found in earlier Lectrosonics analog wireless and IFB receivers, and certain receiv-

ers from other manufacturers (contact the factory for details). The housing is a rugged, machined aluminum package with removable, stainless steel wire belt clip. The input jack is a standard Lectrosonics 5-pin type for use with electret lavaliere mics, dynamic mics, musical instru-

ment pickups and line level signals. The LEDs on the top panel allow quick and accurate level settings without having to view the receiver. The unit is powered by two AA batteries. The antenna port uses a standard 50 ohm SMA connector. Straight and hinged whip antennas are available. The switching power supplies in the LT provide constant voltages to the transmitter circuits from the beginning to the end of battery life, with output power remaining constant over the life of the battery. The input amplifier uses an ultra low noise op amp. Input gain is adjustable over a 44 dB range, with a DSP-controlled dual enve-

lope input limiter that will cleanly handle signal peaks over 30 dB above full modulation. About Digital Hybrid Wireless 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 for enhanced dynamic range, at the cost of subtle artifacts

(known as pumping and breathing). Wholly digital systems defeat the noise by sending the audio informa-

tion in digital form, at the cost of some combination of power, bandwidth, operating range and resistance to interference. The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless system over-

comes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded informa-

tion via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog compandor but a technique which can be accomplished only in the digital domain. Since the RF link between transmitter and receiver is FM, channel noise will increase gradually with in-

creased operating range and weak signal conditions, however, the Digital Hybrid Wireles system handles this situation elegantly with rarely audible audio artifacts as the receiver approaches its squelch threshold. 4 In contrast, a purely digital system tends to drop the audio suddenly during brief dropouts and weak signal conditions. The Digital Hybrid Wireless system simply encodes the signal to use a noisy channel as efficiently and robustly as possible, yielding audio performance that rivals that of purely digital systems, without the power, noise and bandwidth problems inherent in digital transmission. Because it uses an analog FM link, Digital Hybrid Wireless enjoys all the benefits of conventional FM wireless systems, such as excellent range, efficient use of RF spectrum, and long battery life. Frequency Agility Frequency selection is provided in 100 kHz or 25 kHz steps. Frequencies are displayed on the LCD in MHz and in a hex code used with earlier Lectrosonics equip-

ment. Wide-Band Deviation Deviation has a direct effect on the dynamic range and signal to noise ratio of an FM system. The greater the deviation, the wider the dynamic range and the better the signal to noise ratio. In the Nu Hybrid compatibility mode, the system operates with a maximum of +/-75 kHz of deviation. The resulting 180 kHz of occupied bandwidth just fits inside the government specified spectral mask of 200 kHz. In order to make this pos-

sible, an advanced, DSP-controlled limiter is used to prevent signal peaks from exceeding the maximum allowed bandwidth, but not cause distortion. The result of all this is that the audio quality is outstand-

ing, rivaling a hard-wired microphone. The system deliv-

ers a very wide dynamic range, and can handle loud signal peaks without distortion. Servo Bias Input and Wiring The LT input preamp is a unique design that delivers audible improvements over conventional transmitter inputs. The transmitters are easier to use and much harder to overload. It is not necessary to introduce pads on some mics to prevent overload of the input stage, divide the bias voltage down for some low voltage mics, or reduce the limiter range at minimum gain settings. Two different microphone wiring schemes are available to simplify and standardize the configuration. Simpli-

fied 2-wire and 3-wire configurations provide several arrangements designed for use only with servo bias inputs to take full advantage of the preamp circuitry. Other wiring schemes are compatible with Servo Bias and conventional inputs. A line level input wiring provides an extended frequency response with an LF roll-off at 35 Hz for use with instru-

ments and line level signal sources. LTLECTROSONICS, INC. DSP-controlled Input Limiter Pilot Tone Squelch The transmitter employs a digitally-controlled analog audio limiter prior to the analog-to-digital converter. The limiter has a range greater than 30 dB for excellent overload protection. A dual release envelope makes the limiter acoustically transparent while maintaining low distortion. It can be thought of as two limiters in series, connected as a fast attack and release limiter followed by a slow attack and release limiter. The limiter recovers quickly from brief transients, so that its action is hidden from the listener, but recovers slowly from sustained high levels to keep audio distortion low and preserve short term dynamic changes in the audio. No Pre-Emphasis/De-Emphasis Because the signal to noise ratio of the Digital Hybrid Wireless system is so high, there is no need for con-

ventional pre-emphasis (HF boost) in the transmitter and de-emphasis (HF roll off) in the receiver. Thus, the potential distortion problems associated with pre-em-

phasis and de-emphasis are eliminated. LT Block Diagram The squelch system in a receiver is a method of muting the audio when the RF signal conditions are too poor to produce usable audio. While not all squelch systems work the same way, the goal is always the same: to discard noise and unusable audio. The Digital Hybrid Wireless system employs a DSP-

generated supersonic tone (pilot tone), using it as a kind of signature, so the receiver can mute even strong signals that arent from the appropriate transmitter. The pilot tone also helps to ensure that the receiver is quiet when the transmitter is turned on and off. 256 different pilot tones provide reliable operation in multi-channel wireless systems. A different tone is generated every 100 kHz across the tuning range of the system, so that a tone is not repeated until it is 25.6 MHz above or below the previous one. 5 Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack TransmitterRio Rancho, NM Battery Installation The transmitter is powered by two AA batteries. We recommend using alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable batteries for longest life. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked heavy-duty or long-lasting are not adequate. The battery status circuitry compensates for the differ-

ence in voltage drop between alkaline and lithium bat-

teries across their usable life, so its important to select the correct battery type in the menu. Because rechargeable batteries run down quite abrupt-

ly, using the Power LED to verify battery status will not be reliable. However, it is possible to track battery status using the battery timer function available in Lectroson-

ics Digital Hybrid Wireless receivers. Push outward on the battery compartment door and lift it to open. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, the door will close but the unit will not operate. The battery contacts can be cleaned with alcohol and a cotton swab, or a clean pencil eraser. Be sure not to leave any remnants of the cotton swab or eraser crumbs inside the compartment. Contact springs Belt Clips The wire belt clip may be removed by pulling the ends out of the holes in the sides of the case. Use pliers to grasp the wire and avoid scratching the surface of the housing. Pliers also help when installing the clip. An optional spring-loaded, hinged belt clip (model num-

ber BCSLEBN) is also available. This clip is attached by removing the plastic hole cap on the back of the hous-

ing and mounting the clip with the supplied screw. IR (infrared) Sync The opening on the keypad is an IR port for quick setup using a receiver with this function available. IR Sync will transfer the settings for frequency, step size and compatibility mode from the receiver to the transmitter. Refer to your page 13 of this manual and to the receiver manual for details.

The transmitter can also be configured as a one button device by locking the ability to make changes with the keypad, and configuring the top panel switch as either power on/off or a mute function. Belt clip mounting hole USB Port Battery Compartment Door Battery Status LED Indicator Lithium batteries are recommended to power the trans-

mitter. The type of batteries in use are selectable in a menu on the LCD. When alkaline or lithium batteries are being used, the LED labeled BATT on the keypad glows green when the batteries are good. The color changes to red when the battery voltage drops down and stays red through most of the battery life. When the LED begins to blink red, there will be only a few minutes remaining. The exact point at which the LEDs turn red will vary with battery brand and condition, temperature and power consumption. The LEDs are intended to simply catch your attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining time. The Power/Function LED on the top panel will mirror the keypad LED unless the programmable switch is set to the Mute or Talkback mode, and the switch is turned on. A weak battery will sometimes cause the LED to glow green immediately after the transmitter is turned on, but it will soon discharge to the point where the LED will turn red or the unit will turn off completely. Rechargeable batteries give little or no warning when they are depleted. If you wish to use these batteries in the transmitter, you will need to manually keep track of the operating time to prevent interruptions caused by dead batteries. Start with a fully charged battery, then measure the time it takes for the Power LED to go out completely. NOTE: The battery timer feature in many Lectrosonics receivers is very helpful in measuring battery runtime when using rechargeable batteries. Refer to the receiver instructions for details on using the timer.

Connecting the Signal Source Microphones, line level audio sources and instruments can be used with the transmitter. Refer to the section entitled Wiring Hookups for Different Sources for details on the correct wiring for line level sources and microphones to take full advantage of the Servo Bias circuitry. Using Line Level and Instrument Inputs Two types of high levels signals can be used with the transmitter:

strument or audio device to the maximum level that will be used. 4) Use the and arrow buttons to adjust the gain until the 10 dB glows green and the 20 dB LED starts to flicker red during the loudest peaks in the audio. 5) Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can be sent through the sound system for overall level adjustments, monitor settings, etc. 6) If the audio output level of the receiver is too high or low, use only the controls on the receiver to make adjustments. Always leave the transmitter gain ad-

justment set according to these instructions, and do not change it to adjust the audio output level of the receiver. 12 This menu item allows frequencies to be selected in either 100 kHz or 25 kHz increments.

-20 0 Helpful Features on Receivers To aid in finding clear frequencies, several Lectrosonics receivers offer a SmartTune feature that scans the tun-

ing range of the receiver and displays a graphical report that shows where RF signals are present at different levels, and areas where there is little or no RF energy present. The software then automatically selects the best channel for operation. Lectrosonics receivers equipped with an IR Sync func-

tion allow the receiver to set frequency, step size and compatibility modes on the transmitter via an infrared link between the two units. About Overlapping Frequency Bands When two frequency bands overlap, it is possible to select the same frequency at the upper end of one and the lower end of the other. While the frequency will be the same, the pilot tones will be different, as indicated by the hex codes that appear. In the following examples, the frequency is set to 494.500 MHz, but one is in band 470 and the other in band 19. This is done intentionally to maintain compat-

ibility with receivers that tune across a single band. The band number and hex code must match the receiver to enable the correct pilot tone.

Rechargeable batteries maintain a fairly constant voltage across the operating time on each charge and stop working abruptly, so you will have little or no warning as they reach the end of operation. 13 Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack TransmitterRio Rancho, NM Enabling Remote Control Transmitter settings can be configured using special tones generated by a smartphone using a remote control application such as Lectro RM (available on the AppStore or Google Play). Enable this feature on the transmitter with the following menu items. IR Sync Operation A Lectrosonics receiver with IR Sync capability can transfer the settings for Frequency, Step Size and Com-

patibility mode to the transmitter via the IR ports. The transfer is triggered by a switch in the receiver. When the settings are successfully transferred, a confirmation will appear on the transmitter LCD. IR Sync OK If a mismatch exists and the transfer cannot be com-

pleted, an error message will appear on the transmitter LCD indicating what the problem is. IR Sync IR Sync BLOCK Mismatch COMPAT Mismatch BLOCK Mismatch indicates that the transmitter and receiver are on different frequency blocks and the frequency cannot be set to match. COMPAT Mismatch will appear when the compatibility mode in the receiver is not available in the transmitters; for example, when you are trying to sync a US model to work an export model.

LectroRM Android SM Series WM L Series By New Endian LLC LectroRM is a mobile application for iOS and Android operating systems. Its purpose is to remotely control Lectrosonics Transmitters, including:

The app remotely changes settings on the transmit-

ter through the use of encoded audio tones, which when received by the attached microphone, will alter the configured setting. The app was released by New Endian, LLC in September 2011. The app is available for download and sells for about $20 on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. LectroRMs remote control mechanism is the use of an audio sequence of tones (dweedles) that are inter-

preted by the transmitter as a configuration change. The settings available in LectroRM are:

Audio Level Frequency Sleep Mode Lock Mode User Interface The user interface involves selecting the audio se-

quence related to the desired change. Each version has an interface for selecting the desired setting and the desired option for that setting. Each version also has a mechanism to prevent accidental activation of the tone. iOS The iPhone version keeps each available setting on a separate page with the list of options for that setting. On iOS, the Activate toggle switch must be enabled to show the button which will then activate the audio. The iOS versions default orientation is upside-down but can be configured to orient right-side up. The purpose for this is to orient the devices speaker, which is at the bot-

tom of the device, closer to the transmitter microphone. The Android version keeps all settings on the same page and allows the user to toggle between the activa-

tion buttons for each setting. The activation button must be long pressed to activate. The Android version also allows users to keep a configurable list of full sets of settings. Activation For a transmitter to respond to remote control audio tones, the transmitter must meet certain requirements:

The transmitter must not be turned off; it can however be in sleep mode. The transmitter must have firmware version 1.5 or later for Audio, Frequency, Sleep and Lock changes. The transmitter microphone must be within range. The transmitter must be configured to enable remote control activation. Please be aware this app is not a Lectrosonics product.

1) If necessary, remove the old connector from the microphone cable. 2) Slide the dust boot onto microphone cable with the large end facing the connector. 3) If necessary, slide the 1/8-inch black shrink tubing onto the mircrophone cable. This tubing is needed for some smaller diameter cables to ensure there is a snug fit in the dust boot. 4) Slide the backshell over the cable as shown above. Slide the insulator over the cable before soldering the wires to the pins on the insert. 5) Solder the wires and resistors to the pins on the insert according to the diagrams shown in Wiring Hookups for Different Sources. A length of .065 OD clear tubing is included if you need to insulate the resistor leads or shield wire. Note: If you use the dust boot, remove the rubber strain relief that is attached to the TA5F cap, or the boot will not fit over the assembly. 6) If necessary, remove the rubber strain relief from the TA5F backshell by simply pulling it out. 7) Seat the insulator on the insert. Slide the cable clamp over the and of the insulator and crimp as shown on the next page. 8) Insert the assembled insert/insulator/clamp into the latchlock. Make sure the tab and slot align to allow the insert to fully seat in the latchlock. Thread the backshell onto the latchlock. 17 Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack TransmitterRio Rancho, NM Microphone Cable Termination for Non-Lectrosonics Microphones TA5F Connector Assembly Mic Cord Stripping Instructions 1 5 4 2 3 VIEW FROM SOLDER SIDE OF PINS 0.15"

The nature of electret microphones makes them sensitive to RF, which can cause problems with microphone/transmitter compatibility. If the electret microphone is not designed properly for use with wire-

less transmitters, it may be necessary to install a chip capacitor in the mic capsule or connector to block the RF from entering the electret capsule. Some mics require RF protection to keep the radio sig-

nal from affecting the capsule, even though the trans-

mitter input circuitry is already RF bypassed. If the mic is wired as directed, and you are having dif-

ficulty with squealing, high noise, or poor frequency response, RF is likely to be the cause. The best RF protection is accomplished by installing RF bypass capacitors at the mic capsule. If this is not pos-

sible, or if you are still having problems, capacitors can be installed on the mic pins inside the TA5F connec-

tor housing. Refer to the diagram below for the correct locations of capacitors. Use 330 pF capacitors. Capacitors are available from Lectrosonics. Please specify the part number for the desired lead style. Leaded capacitors: P/N 15117 Leadless capacitors: P/N SCC330P All Lectrosonics lavaliere mics are already bypassed and do not need any additional capacitors installed for proper operation. The wiring for line level and instrument signals is:

Signal Hot to pin 5 Signal Gnd to pin 1 Pin 4 jumped to pin 1 This allows signal levels up to 3V RMS to be applied without limiting. NOTE for line level inputs only (not instrument):

If more headroom is needed, insert a 20 k resistor in series with pin 5. Put this resistor inside the TA5F connector to minimize noise pickup. The resistor will have little or no effect on the signal if the input is set for instrument. Line Level Normal Wiring Line Level More Headroom
