The Digital Hybrid WirelessTM design (US Patent Pending) combines 24-bit digital audio with analog FM resulting in a system that has the same operating range as analog systems (plus the graceful failure at the limits of that range), the same spectral efficiency as analog systems, the same long battery life as analog systems, but with the excellent audio found in digital systems.
The SM Series units use a standard Lectrosonics 5-pin type input jack for use with electret lavaliere mic, dynamic mic, or line level signals. A water resistant control panel with LCD, membrane switches and multicolor LEDs make input gain adjustments and frequency and compatibility mode selection quick and accurate,
without having to view the receiver. The battery compartment accepts AA lithium or rechargeable batteries.
The SM is machined from a solid aluminum block to provide an extremely lightweight and rugged package. A special non-corrosive finish (the same one used by NASA) resists salt water exposure and perspiration in extreme environments.
The DSP-based design works with all Digital Hybrid recievers, and is backward compatible for use with Lectrosonics 200 and 100 Series and IFB receivers and some other brands of analog wireless receivers. Companion receivers are covered in separate manuals.
