This tuning range covers three standard Lectrosonics frequency blocks. TUNING RANGE BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK Four bands are available covering standard blocks as follows: Band A1 Blocks Covered Freq. MHz 470, 19, 20 470.100 - 537.575 B1 21, 22, 23 537.600 - 614.375 B2 22, 23, 24 563.200 - 639.975 C1 24, 25, 26 614.400 - 691.175 To simplify backward compatibility with earlier Digital Hybrid Wireless® equipment, block numbers are presented along with frequencies in LCD screens. About Frequency Blocks A 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 products 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 character indicates the position of the right hand switch. This designator is commonly called a “hex code.” F 0 1 9 8 7 F 0 1 9 8 7 US Patent 7,225,135 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 information 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 overcomes 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 information 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 increased 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. FREQUENCY 1.6MHz 100kHz On 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 frequency 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 different frequency bands using the lowest frequency in the block as the designator. LECTROSONICS, INC. Micro Body Pack Transmitter Battery Charging The 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. Battery Installation The 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 catch 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 contacts Battery charger kit P/N 40107 CAUTION: Use only the factory supplied battery and battery charger. Insert battery contact end first Press opposite end of battery into compartment If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the door will close but the unit will not operate. Rio Rancho, NM SSM Controls and Functions Modulation LEDs BATT LED BATT LED This 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 current drain. The LED is intended to simply catch your attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining time. AUDIO Button The 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. Power Button FREQ Button Modulation LEDs Proper 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 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 LCD Screen The 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. The 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 Button Turns 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 Buttons The 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 OFF These 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. See Operating Instructions and Setup Screens for compete information. WARNING: Moisture, including talent’s sweat, will damage the transmitter. Wrap the SSM in a plastic baggie or other protection to avoid damage. LECTROSONICS, INC.

The opposite end of the transmitter contains the battery door latches and release tabs, and the USB port, which is used for firmware updates. Grooves in the jack must align with ridges on the plug Slide the threaded sleeve onto the jack and rotate it clockwise to tighten it. Battery door release tabs Removable belt clip Battery door latch USB port Tighten the sleeve to secure the connection The battery door itself is made of stainless steel to allow a thin wall thickness, but retain the strength to withstand heavy use. Rio Rancho, NM SSM Operating Instructions Frequency is displayed in one of two ways: Frequency expressed in MHz Powering On in Operating Mode Press 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. Standard frequency block (22) When you release the button, the unit will be operational with the RF output turned on and the Main Window displayed. Frequency in hex code (C8) Offset in MHz (.75) LF roll-off is expressed in Hz. Powering On in Standby Mode A 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. 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 immediately when you release the buttons. Block 470/19 Frequency Overlap 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 Off Holding 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 displayed previously. Frequencies 486.400 - 495.600 Overlap in Blocks 470 and 19 Block 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. Setup Screens Two different setup menus are accessed by holding either 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 Operation When 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. LECTROSONICS, INC. Micro Body Pack Transmitter Setup Steps The setup menus are accessed by holding either the UP or DOWN arrow while powering the unit on.

Micro Body Pack Transmitter Adjusting the Input Gain The 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 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 enter 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 according 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. Microphone Wiring Looking into the 3 pin Lemo mic connector from the outside of the transmitter, the pin centered in the two guide slots is pin 1 (ground). Pin 2 is a 1k resistor to ground. Pin 3 is the audio/bias connection for two-wire microphones and line inputs. Pin 1 Pin 2 Guide slots Pin 3 Voltages, polarity, impedance and line level for all signal sources are selected by menus. Menu selections include presets for popular microphones, and a sub-menu for manual setup. Refer to the section entitled Setup Screens on the previous page for details. Two-wire electret lavaliere: Pin 1 - Ground (shield) Pin 3 - Audio and Bias Sanken COS-11 lavaliere Recommended Wiring: Pin 1 - Shield (ground) Pin 2 - White (audio hot) Pin 3 - Black (DC power) NOTE: The COS-11 can also be wired in a twowire configuration. Contact Plus24/Sanken for details. The Sanken CUB-01 is not supported. Line Input Wiring and Use When connecting a line level audio signal to the SSM input, the line input must be selected on the UP Arrow menu, and the audio input gain must be set at 44 (maximum) to allow the full range of limiting. 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 Bias Transmitter Settings: Input Setting Gain Setting Note: This gain setting may seem “backwards” or illogical, however, it is correct due to the unique nature of the SSM input circuitry. Rio Rancho, NM 11 SSM Remote Control Remote 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 • Frequency Removable Belt Clips Two 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. Alignment notch Mounting holes A smart phone app is available in the App Store and in Google Play to implement this control. Search for the title LectroRM. IR (infrared) Sync An 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 transmitter is the port used for the IR link. The receiver is normally 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. Retaining tabs To 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 holes IR port Place 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 confirmation 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. 12 The 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 Controls The 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. Remove the battery to unlock the controls. LECTROSONICS, INC. Micro Body Pack Transmitter LectroRM By New Endian LLC Android LectroRM is a mobile application for iOS and Android smart phone operating systems. Its purpose is to make changes to the settings on select Lectrosonics transmitters by delivering encoded audio tones to the microphone attached to the transmitter. When the tone enters the transmitter, it is decoded to make a change to a variety of different settings such as input gain, frequency and a number of others. 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. 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/OFF The user interface involves selecting the audio sequence 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 Android version keeps all settings on the same page and allows the user to toggle between the activation 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. Activation For 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. 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 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 bottom of the device, closer to the transmitter microphone.

Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnecting 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 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 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 “double-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: Lectrosonics, Inc.
