General Technical Description Introduction in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded informa- The UM450 transmitter combines a full 250 mW of tion via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary RF output with +/- 75 kHz wide deviation for extended algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog operating range and extremely high signal to noise ratio.
Dry cell Lithium batteries are not recommended for A DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is employed before use in the UM450. This type battery has an upper limit the analog-to-digital (A-D) converter. The limiter has a range on the maximum current it can provide. The UM450 of more than 30 dB for excellent overload protection.
The input on the UM450 accommodates virtually every depleted. If you use a NiMH battery in the UM450, lavaliere, hand-held or shotgun microphone available. we recommend trying a fully charged battery in Different line level signals can also be accommodated.
Frequency Synthesized UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter Modulation LEDs Adjustable Low Frequency Roll-Off The Modulation LEDs provide a visual indication of the A 18dB per octave low frequency roll-off is provided in input audio signal level from the microphone. These the audio section, with the -3dB point adjustable from two bicolor LEDs can glow either red or green to indi- 35Hz to 150Hz.
