    The input jack is a standard Lectrosonics 5-pin type for use with electret lavalier mics, dynamic mics and line level signals. LEDs are provided on the LM front panel to make quick and accurate level settings without having to view the receiver. The battery compartment accepts any 9 volt battery (alkaline or lithium recommended) and makes a positive connection via self-adjusting contacts.
  • Page 4: General Technical Description

    ™ The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless system overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link.
  • Page 5: Input Limiter

    Two rotary switches, located on the side panel of the unit, provide 256 frequencies in 100 kHz steps over a 25.5 MHz range. This alleviates carrier interference problems in mobile or traveling applications. ANTENNA The antenna on the LM consists of a permanently attached flexible 1/4 wavelength galvanized steel cable.

    LM is turned on, replace the battery. A NiMH batteries give little or no warning when they are depleted. If you wish to use NiMH batteries in the LM transmitter, you will need to manually keep track of the operating time. Start with a fully charged battery, then measure the time it takes for the Power LED to extinguish.

    This indicates full modulation and is the -10 LED optimum setting for the transmitter’s gain. 7) Once the LM’s audio gain has been set, the remaining components of the audio system can be energized and adjusted. OPERATING NOTES DO NOT USE THE AUDIO LEVEL control for controlling the volume of your sound system or recorder levels.

    Low impedance microphone level input for dynamic microphones. Also accepts hand- held electret microphones that have their own battery or power supply. PIN 4 4 k Ohm source load for non-Lectrosonics electret microphones. Use in conjunction with other pins to provide attenuation of high level input signals. PIN 5 40 k high impedance, line level input for tape decks, mixer outputs, musical instruments, etc.
