General Description The AWDR-1 Diversity Receiver offers the greatest flexibility and sound quality for crews, operators and sound recordists, whether working internationally or simply under challenging RF conditions. Its sophisticated structure comes in a lightweight yet rugged, CNC machined aluminium case, designed for extra strength and durability as well as the ability to withstand the heavy demands of location use. -
