Lectrosonics has introduced the MHa, a plug-on wireless transmitter designed to match any microphone or line-level signal source.
The latest model in the company’s series of Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitters, the HMa offers wide input gain range of 44 dB and wide tuning range of 76 MHz in 100 kHz or 25 kH steps for up to 3,072 frequencies per band. A USB port facilitates firmware updates in the field.
The HMa combines 24-bit digital audio with analog FM transmission to enhance radio reliability and audio performance. The frequency response is stated as 40 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 1 dB). Phantom power is selectable at 5, 15 and 48 volts, or can be turned off for use with dynamic microphones and line-level sources.
The patented Digital Hybrid Wireless process is designed to deliver compandor-free audio and uses an analog FM carrier to transmit a specially encoded signal that delivers digital audio quality while spectrum efficient. The cam lock and quick release mechanism makes it simple to securely attach and detach any microphone.
“The HMa is the latest in our long history of making professional plug-on transmitters for a wide range of microphone applications,” says Karl Winkler, vice president of sales/service for Lectrosonics. “The HMa will be a perfect match for any of our receivers, including the Venue and Venue 2, the SR series, the LR, and the UCR series, and new receivers yet to come.”
MSRP for the HMa plug-on ransmitter is $1,750.
