Introduction

The latest digital radio technology is employed in the
DSQD receiver to set a new standard for performance
and flexibility. Four discrete audio channels are packed
into a single half-rack chassis, with balanced analog
and Dante digital network outputs. The receiver tunes
®
continuously across the UHF band from 470.100 to
614.375 MHz.
The digital architecture delivers studio quality audio with
ultra-low latency. The receiver includes an extended
operating range rivaling the best analog and Digital
Hybrid Wireless systems with tracking filters that stay
®
centered on the selected frequency.
DSP algorithms provide compatibility with Lectrosonics
DSW and Duet digital wireless transmitters, and with
Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless
The receiver provides a USB port for firmware updates
and an IR port for fast setup. A large, high resolution,
backlit LCD and large membrane switches provide an
intuitive interface that is highly visible in daylight or
dimly lit conditions.
Wireless Designer™ software integrates the digital and
Digital Hybrid Wireless into a single control panel with
site scanning and frequency coordination. The software
is free and can be used while connected to equipment
or offline in planning a multi-channel system.
Antenna ports on the rear panel accept input from
remote antennas, with a "loop-thru" output to another
mainframe using the internal multicoupler. A kit is also
available to mount antenna inputs (BNC connectors) on
the front panel.

Description

Encryption

When transmitting audio, there are situations where
privacy is essential, such as during professional sport-
ing events, in court rooms or private meetings. For
instances where your audio transmission needs to be
kept secure, without sacrificing audio quality, Lectroson-
ics introduces Encryption Keys. Truly entropic encryp-
tion keys are first created by the DSQD Receiver. The
key is then synced with an encryption-capable transmit-
ter, via the IR port. The audio will be encrypted and can
only be listened to if both DSQD and transmitter have
the matching encryption key. If you are trying to transmit
an audio signal and keys do not match, all that will be
heard is silence or white noise.
