  • Page 2: Brief Description

    MCR41/42 is a high performance microphone receiver suitable for broadcast and high professional applications. Thanks to Wisycom movable filter technology, MCR42 is able to work in a bandwidth up to 230 MHz, still keeping an exceptional selectivity and intermodulation immunity.

  • Page 3: Safety Instruction

    WARNING: when operating thru battery pack always replace ALL BATTERIES. DO NOT operate the device with some new and some old batteries. When MCR42 is setup to “automatically turn on”, DO CHANGE ALL OF USED BATTERIES after automatic low batteries shutdown.

  • Page 4: Main Features

    High audio performances and flexibility with analog or digital processors  High reliability and durability One of the milestones in the design of the MCR42 is high reliability: most of the circuitry of the receiver is independent one from each other.
  • Page 5 The high speed audio algorithms implemented in assembler into the MCR42 maintains the audio delay at about 1.3 milliseconds, making it ideally for live events and to keep audio delay as short as possible. The DSP unit also filters and demodulates the data carrier and communicates all the parameters and informations to the supervisor micro controller.
