Lectrosonics WM
MPN #WM
Designed for wet or dusty environments, the WM transmitter features O-ring sealed battery compartments and input jack, a compression sealed antenna port and gasket sealed controls.
Dual AA batteries provide twice the operating time of earlier watertight transmitter designs. Larger membrane switches and control panel and a highly visible, backlit LCD enhance the user interface.
To meet the demand for both extended operating range and extended battery life, the transmitter offers select- able output power of 50, 100 and 250 mW. With higher power output, the operating range is improved at the expense of battery life. When range is not an issue, the power can be reduced to extend the battery life.
The transmitter can be controlled by the RM and RM2 remote control units for hands free setup and adjustment using audible tones delivered into the microphone from a tiny loudspeaker in the remote control unit. The transmit- ter can be put to sleep to conserve battery power during setup when it is buried deep inside costuming, then awakened for normal operation when the production begins. Other adjustments include frequency, audio level and control panel lockout.
The DSP-based design works with all Digital Hybrid re- ceivers, and is backward compatible for use with Lectro- sonics 200 and 100 Series and IFB receivers and some other brands of analog wireless receivers.
The input section features servo bias circuitry with voltages being selectable from the LCD to match the requirements of a wide variety of lavaliere microphones. The bias can also be turned off for use with dynamic microphones. A line level setting is provided for use with signal levels up to 5 volts. The low frequency roll-off can be adjusted from 35 to 150 Hz.
A DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is employed ahead of the first mic preamp to protect the entire audio chain from overload. The limiter has a range of more than 30 dB for excellent overload protection and a dual release envelope that makes the limiter acoustically transparent while maintaining low distortion.
