Page 3: Introduction
US. The specific concerns and needs brought up in these conversations led directly to the develop ment of the operational features offered on the IFB T6. There are 256 user selectable frequencies in 25kHz steps to alleviate interference problems in travelling venues. -
Page 4: General Technical Description
GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The IFB T6 transmitters are comprised of a number of functional sub-systems as shown in the block diagram below. GENERAL The system uses 20kHz wide deviation for high signal to noise ratio. The transmitter circuits are all regulated to allow full output power from the beginning (9 Volts) to the end (6.5 Volts) of battery life. - Page 5 At UHF frequencies, where wavelengths and antennas are shorter than at VHF frequencies, a resonant length wire is preferred over using the microphone cable as the antenna. The antenna on the IFB T6 consists of a flexible 1/4 wavelength bronze cable, detachable via an SMA connector. The impedance of this connector is 50 Ohms.

LF ROLL OFF INPUT JACK The input on the IFB T6 accommodates virtually every lavalier, hand-held or shotgun microphone available. Line level signals can also be accommodated. Use a Switchcraft TA5F connector on the cord. See the separate sheet titled “Transmitter 5-Pin Input Jack Wiring”... - Page 7 USE ONLY THE SCREW THAT IS SUPPLIED The circuitry is tightly packed into this unit. A longer screw will permanently damage the transmitter! Use only Lectrosonics PN:28528 which is a Phillips head, 4-40 x 3/16", FL100 screw. Rio Rancho, NM – USA...

Page 8: Battery Installation
BATTERY INSTALLATION The transmitter is powered by a standard alkaline or lithium 9 Volt battery. It is important that you use ONLY an ALKALINE or LITHIUM battery for longest life. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy-duty” or “long lasting” are not adequate. Ni-cad rechargeable batteries will only provide 1.5 hours of operation, or less, and will run down quite abruptly. -
Page 9: Operating Notes
Multi-Frequency IFB Belt-Pack Transmitter, Euro Model 6) Position the microphone in the location you will use in actual operation. 7) While speaking or singing at the same voice level that will actually be used, observe the MODULATION LEDs. Adjust the AUDIO LEVEL control knob until the LEDs begin to light. Start at a low setting where neither LED lights as you speak. -

MICROPHONE CORD TERMINATION TA5F Connector Assembly VIEW FROM SOLDER SIDE OF PINS 0.15" Heatshrink Tubing 0.3" Mic Cord Stripping Instructions Caution! Do not allow the shield wire to touch any metal part of the connector shell. The shield wire is the antenna on VHF models and poor operating range will result. -
Page 11: 5-Pin Input Jack Wiring
UHF Transmitter Equivalent Input Circuit VHF transmitters use the shield of the microphone cord as the antenna. The IFB T6 uses a 1/4 wave flexible wire to radiate the RF signal. There is really not much difference between these two approaches, with respect to the effect of the RF on the microphone capsule. -

Leaded capacitors: P/N 15117 Leadless capacitors: P/N SCC330P All Lectrosonics lavalier mics are already bypassed and do not need any additional capacitors installed for proper operation. BODY GROUND Caution - When wiring the connector, do not use the connector body for any electrical connections. A common mistake is to use the connector body as an audio ground. -
