Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack Transmitter
Rio Rancho, NM 3
Introduction
The design of the LMb transmitter delivers the ad-
vanced technology and features of Digital Hybrid Wire-
less® 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
LMb to also be used with a variety of analog receivers
by emulating the compandors found in earlier Lectro-
sonics analog wireless and IFB receivers, and certain
receivers 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 is a super-rugged, perma-
nently attached 1/4 wavelength design made of flexible
galvanized steel cable.
The switching power supplies in the LMb provide con-
stant voltages to the transmitter circuits from the begin-
ning to the end of battery life, with output power remain-
ing constant over the life of the battery. The input ampli-
fier uses an ultra low noise op amp for quiet operation.
Input gain is adjustable over a 44 dB range, with a DSP
-controlled dual envelope input limiter to 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 arti-
facts as the receiver approaches its squelch threshold.
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 with up to 3072 channels available covering three
standard Lectrosonics 25.6 MHz blocks. Frequencies
are displayed on the LCD in MHz and in a hex code
used with earlier Lectrosonics equipment.
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 Digital Hybrid Wireless®
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 LMb 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.

AUDIO
Pilot Tone Squelch
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 aren’t 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.
DSP-controlled Input Limiter
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.

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 it’s 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.
Insert the batteries according to the markings inside the
battery compartment.
Battery polarity is marked inside the compartment
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.
Series connection plate 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.

Operating Instructions
Battery Status LED Indicators
Alkaline, lithium or rechargeable batteries can be used
to power the transmitter. 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
they are nearing the end of life. When the LED begins to
blink red, there will be only a few minutes remaining.
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.
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.
A weak battery will sometimes cause the LEDs 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 microphones to take full
advantage of the Servo Bias circuitry.
Adjusting the Input Gain
The two bicolor Modulation LEDs on the control panel
and keypad provide a visual indication of the audio
signal level entering the transmitter. The LEDs will glow
either red or green to indicate modulation levels as
shown in the following table.
Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED
Less than -20 dB Off Off
-20 dB to -10 dB Green Off
-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green
+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green
Greater than +10 dB Red Red
NOTE: Full modulation is achieved at 0 dB, when
the “-20” LED first turns red. The limiter can cleanly
handle peaks up to 30 dB above this point.
It is best to go through the following procedure with the
transmitter in the standby mode so that no audio will en-
ter the sound system or recorder during adjustment.
1) With fresh batteries in the transmitter, power the
unit on in the standby mode (see previous section
Powering On in Standby Mode).
2) Navigate to the Gain setup screen.

3) Prepare the signal source. Position a microphone
the way it will be used in actual operation and have
the user speak or sing at the loudest level that oc-
cur during use, or set the output level of the instru-
ment 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.

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 Blocks
When two frequency blocks 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 block 470 and the other in
block 19. This is done intentionally to maintain compat-
ibility with receivers that tune across a single block. The
block number and hex code must match the receiver to
enable the correct pilot tone.

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.
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.

Microphone RF Bypassing
When used on a wireless transmitter, the microphone
element is in the proximity of the RF coming from the
transmitter. 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.

Service and Repair
If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment
needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnecting
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 at-
tempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connection,
send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t 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 readjustment. 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 modest
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 email 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 dam-
age to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
