SSMLECTROSONICS, INC.4IntroductionThree Block Tuning RangeThe SSM transmitter tunes across a range of over 76 MHz. This tuning range covers three standard Lectro-sonics frequency blocks.TUNING RANGEBLOCK BLOCK BLOCKFour bands are available covering standard blocks as follows: Band Blocks Covered Freq. MHz A1 470, 19, 20 470.100 - 537.575B1 21, 22, 23 537.600 - 614.375B2 22, 23, 24 563.200 - 639.975C1 24, 25, 26 614.400 - 691.175To simplify backward compatibility with earlier Digital Hybrid Wireless® equipment, block numbers are pre-sented along with frequencies in LCD screens.About Frequency BlocksA 25.6 MHz band of frequencies, referred to as a Block, came about with the design of the first frequency tunable Lectrosonics wireless products. These prod-ucts provided two 16-position rotary switches to select frequencies as shown in the illustration below. A logical method of identifying the switch positions was using 16 character hexadecimal numbering. This naming and numbering convention is still used today.The 16 switch positions are numbered 0 (zero) through F, presented in a two-character designation such as B8, 5C, AD, 74, etc. The first character indicates the position of the left hand switch and the second charac-ter indicates the position of the right hand switch. This designator is commonly called a “hex code.”FREQUENCY1.6MHz 100kHz0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEFOn older transmitter models, the left hand switch makes steps in 1.6 MHz increments, the right hand switch in 100 kHz increments.Each block spans a 25.6 MHz band. A simple formula is used to name the blocks according to the lowest fre-quency in each one. For example, the block starting at 512 MHz is named Block 20, since 512 divided by 25.6 equals 20. Special blocks were created later in differ-ent frequency bands using the lowest frequency in the block as the designator.About Digital Hybrid Wireless®US Patent 7,225,135All 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, however, it is often at the cost of one or more issues regarding 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 Wireless system handles this situation elegantly with rarely audible audio artifacts 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.
Micro Body Pack TransmitterRio Rancho, NM 5Battery ChargingThe transmitter operates from a 3.6 V rechargeable battery that will provide about six hours of operation per charge. Battery life can be monitored from the timer function built into current Lectrosonics receivers.The factory supplied battery charger kit provides a folding NEMA 2-prong plug on the charger, and will operate from 100-240 VAC sources. The LED glows red during charging and turns green when the battery is fully charged. The kit includes a Euro plug adapter and vehicle auxiliary power adapter cord.Battery charger kitP/N 40107CAUTION: Use only the factory supplied battery and battery charger.Battery InstallationThe battery compartment and door catch are designed for simple and quick battery changes, yet prevent the door from being opened accidentally.Squeeze tabs inward to release door catchBattery contactsInsert battery contact end firstPress opposite end of battery into compartmentIf the battery is inserted incorrectly, the door will close but the unit will not operate.
SSMLECTROSONICS, INC.6Controls and FunctionsModulation LEDsProper input gain adjustment is critical to ensure the best audio quality. Two bicolor LEDs will glow either red or green to accurately indicate modulation levels. The input circuitry includes a wide range DSP controlled limiter to prevent distortion at high input levels.It is important to set the gain (audio level) high enough to achieve full modulation during louder peaks in the audio. The limiter can handle over 30 dB of level above full modulation, so with an optimum setting, the LEDs will flash red during use. If the LEDs never flash red, the gain is too low. In the table below, +0 dB indicates full modulation.Signal Level -20 LED -10 LEDLess 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 GreenGreater than +10 db Red RedLCD ScreenThe LCD is a numeric-type Liquid Crystal Display with screens for adjusting output power, frequency, audio level, low frequency audio roll-off and various modes and options. The transmitter can be powered up with or without the RF output turned on. A brief press on the power button turns the unit on in a Standby Mode with the output turned off to allow adjustments to be made without interfering with other wireless systems in the vicinity.BATT LEDThis LED glows green when the battery is good. The color changes to red when there is only a few minutes of operation left. The LED will blink briefly, just before the unit powers down.The exact point at which the LED turns red will vary with battery brand and condition, temperature and cur-rent drain. The LED is intended to simply catch your attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining time. AUDIO ButtonThe AUDIO button is used to adjust the audio output level and low frequency roll-off. Each press of the button will toggle between the two settings.FREQ ButtonThe FREQ Button displays the selected operating frequency and toggles the LCD between displaying the actual operating frequency in MHz and a two-digit hexadecimal number that corresponds to the equivalent Lectrosonics Frequency Switch Setting.Power ButtonTurns the unit on and off. A brief press turns power on in a Standby Mode to make settings without interfering with other wireless systems in the vicinity. Pressing and holding the button until a counter on the LCD completes a sequence turns the power on with the RF output turned on. Pressing and holding for the duration of a countdown turns the unit off.UP and DOWN Arrow ButtonsThe Up and Down arrow buttons are used to select the values on the various setup screens and to lock out the control panel. Press and hold both buttons until a countdown is completed to lock the keypad. Remove the battery to unlock the keypad.Turning LEDs ON and OFFThese arrow keys also turn the LEDs on and off. With no other button pressed, the UP arrow turns the LEDs on and the DOWN arrow turns them off. When the LEDs are tuned off, the LCD will display a reminder every few seconds.Power ButtonModulation LEDs BATT LEDSee Operating Instructions and Setup Screens for compete information.WARNING: Moisture, including talent’s sweat, will damage the transmitter.

SSMLECTROSONICS, INC.8Operating InstructionsPowering On in Operating ModePress and hold the Power Button for several seconds until a counter on the LCD progresses from 1 through 3, followed by a display of the model, firmware version, frequency block and compatibility mode.When you release the button, the unit will be operation-al with the RF output turned on and the Main Window displayed.Powering On in Standby ModeA brief press of the Power Button , releasing it before the counter has reached 3, will turn the unit on with the RF output turned off. The LCD will display a reminder that the RF output of the transmitter is turned off.In this Standby Mode the frequency can be browsed to make adjustments without the risk of interfering with other wireless systems nearby.After adjustments are made, press the power button again to turn the unit off.Powering OffHolding the Power Button in and waiting for the completion of the countdown from 3 to 1 will turn the power off.If the power button is released before the countdown is completed, the unit will remain turned on and the LCD will return to the same screen or menu that was dis-played previously.Setup ScreensTwo different setup menus are accessed by holding ei-ther the UP or DOWN arrow button while powering the unit on. See the opposite page for a listing of the menu items and descriptions.Screens Used in Normal OperationWhen the transmitter is turned on with the RF output on, the LCD will display the frequency, audio gain or LF roll-off point.Audio gain is expressed in dB.Frequency is displayed in one of two ways:Frequency expressed in MHzStandard frequency block (22)Frequency in hex code (C8)Offset in MHz (.75)LF roll-off is expressed in Hz.To make changes to the settings, press either button to display the desired screen, then use the UP and DOWN arrows to select the value. The changes take effect im-mediately when you release the buttons.Block 470/19 Frequency OverlapFrequencies 486.400 - 495.600 Overlap in Blocks 470 and 19Block 470 and block 19 overlap each other in the frequency range from 486.400 to 495.600 MHz. Since block 470 starts at a lower frequency than block 19, the hex codes (and pilot tones) will not match even though the frequencies are the same in the overlap zone. When using a transmitter on the A1 band with a block 19 receiver, be sure the transmitter is set to block 19 and check the hex code on the receiver to make sure it matches the transmitter. Call the factory for further questions on this issue.

Set up this way the transmitter will cleanly handle input levels up to 0dBV (1 volt).Line Input:Pin 1: Shield (ground)Pin 3: Audio and BiasTransmitter Settings:Input Setting Gain SettingNote: This gain setting may seem “backwards” or illogical, however, it is correct due to the unique nature of the SSM input circuitry.Adjusting the Input GainThe two bicolor Modulation LEDs on the control panel 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 LEDLess 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 GreenGreater than +10 dB Red RedNOTE: 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 a charged battery in the transmitter, power the unit on in the standby mode (see previous section Powering On in Standby Mode).2) Press and hold the AUDIO button with Aud and a numeral on the display (e.g. Aud 22). 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 occur during use, or set the output level of the instrument 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. Unless the microphone or its position changes, or a different instrument is being used, leave the transmitter gain adjustment set accord-ing to these instructions. Use the audio output level control on the receiver to make adjustments for the desired level being delivered to the connected mixer, recorder, etc.
SSMLECTROSONICS, INC.12Remote ControlRemote control signals (“dweedle tones”) may be used to control the transmitter. The tones are played back into the microphone to avoid the need to reach and handle the transmitter when making changes to the following adjustments and settings:• Input Gain• Sleep/Unsleep• Lock/Unlock• Tx power output• FrequencyA smart phone app is available in the App Store and in Google Play to implement this control. Search for the title LectroRM.IR (infrared) SyncAn IR (infrared) link between an associated receiver and the transmitter can be used to shorten setup time and ensure that the correct settings in the transmitter are made. The dome on the side panel of the transmit-ter is the port used for the IR link. The receiver is nor-mally used to identify a clear operating frequency. Once step size, frequency and compatibility mode are set in the receiver, the settings can be sent to the transmitter via this IR link.IR portPlace the transmitter close to the IR enabled receiver with the ports facing each other within a foot or two apart. Send the settings with the trigger on the receiver. If the settings are successfully transferred, a confirma-tion message will appear on the transmitter LCD.NOTE: If a mismatch exists between the receiver and transmitter, an error message will appear on the transmitter LCD stating what the problem is.Removable Belt ClipsTwo different belt clips are available, one that orients the antenna downward and another one that orients the antenna upward. Attaching and removing the clips is the same for both models.A belt clip is removed by rotating it as shown and sliding it off the retaining tabs on the battery door.Retaining tabsAlignment notchMounting holesTo attach a belt clip, align the notches with the retaining tabs, then press on the clip to attach it.Press clip into place with tabs seated in mounting holesThe antenna works equally well when oriented either upward or downward. Position the transmitter so that the antenna is not in contact with or underneath any metallic object or surface in wardrobe or costuming, and preferably with a layer of fabric between the antenna and the user’s body.Locking the ControlsThe keypad can be locked to prevent inadvertent changes to be made to the transmitter. Press and hold both the UP and DOWN arrow buttons for several seconds until a countdown is completed on the LCD. The display will show unloc 3...2...1 and then Loc will appear.

Micro Body Pack TransmitterRio Rancho, NM 13LectroRMBy New Endian LLCLectroRM is a mobile application for iOS and Android smart phone operating systems. Its purpose is to make changes to the settings on select Lectrosonics transmit-ters by delivering encoded audio tones to the micro-phone attached to the transmitter. When the tone enters the transmitter, it is decoded to make a change to a va-riety of different settings such as input gain, frequency and a number of others.The app was released by New Endian, LLC in Septem-ber 2011. The app is available for download and sells for about $20 on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.The settings and values that can be changed vary from one transmitter model to another. The complete list of available tones in the app is as follows: • Input gain • Frequency • Sleep Mode • Panel LOCK/UNLOCK • RF output power • Low frequency audio roll-off • LEDs ON/OFFThe 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.iOSThe 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 tone. The iOS version’s default orientation is upside-down but can be configured to orient right-side up. The purpose for this is to orient the phone’s speaker, which is at the bot-tom of the device, closer to the transmitter microphone.AndroidThe 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 pressed and held to activate the tone. The Android version also allows users to keep a configurable list of full sets of settings. ActivationFor a transmitter to respond to remote control audio tones, the transmitter must meet certain requirements: • The transmitter must be turned on. • 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 remote control function must be enabled on the transmitter.Please be aware this app is not a Lectrosonics product. It is privately owned and operated by New Endian LLC, www.newendian.com.

SSMLECTROSONICS, INC.18Service and RepairIf 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 interconnect-ing cables.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 connec-tion, 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 RepairFor timely service, please follow the steps below:A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by e-mail 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 or FEDEX is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be “dou-ble-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.Lectrosonics USA:Mailing address: Shipping address: Telephone: Lectrosonics, Inc.
