Frequency Agile UHF Miniature Belt-Pack Transmitter

Thank you for selecting the Lectrosonics MM400A miniature transmitter. The unique design provides several distinct

features for professional applications:

• Outstanding RF operating range

• Superb audio quality

• Ultra-lightweght, corrosion resistant housing

• Watertight seals for use in wet environments

• Programmble emulation modes for maximum versatility

The Digital Hybrid Wireless

design (US Patent Pending) combines 24-bit digital audio with analog FM techniques

to provide the operating range of the finest analog wireless systems and the audio quality of a pure digital system.

The 100 mW RF output power extends operating range, and DSP controlled, dual-envelope limiter cleanly handles

input peaks to allow higher gain settings. This combination maximizes operating range and the signal to noise ratio

of the system.

The input provides 6 VDC of bias voltage for use with modern electret lavalier microphones. Multi-color LEDs are

provided on the control panel to make input gain adjustments quick and accurate, without having to view the receiver.

The battery compartment accepts AA alkaline, lithium or NiMH batteries. The antenna is a detachable, locking ¼

wavelength flexible bronze cable that connects to a 50 Ohm SMA port on the transmitter.

The MM400A is machined from a solid aluminum block to provide an extremely ightweight package with the rugged-

ness needed in extreme environments. Input jacks and controls are O-ring sealed for watertight protection in wet

environments. A special non-corrosive finish (same as is used on NASA space vehicles) resists salt water exposure

and perspiration in extreme environments.

The DSP-based design offers backward compatibility with a handful of earlier analog designs, such as the Lec-

trosonics 100 and 200 Series receivers, and some other brands of analog wireless receivers. The operating mode

(compatibility mode) can be selected with a sequence of frequency switch settings and battery insertions to cycle the

power on and off. Only the MM400A transmitter is covered in this manual. Companion receivers are covered in

separate manuals.
