Lectrosonics SRB Camera Slot Dual UHF Receiver

The Lectrosonics SRB Camera Slot Dual UHF Receiver uses innovative technology to combine the advantages of digital audio with the advantages of analog RF transmission. The result delivers the superior sound quality of a digital system and the excellent range of an analog system. 

A proprietary algorithm encodes the digital audio information into an analog format which can be transmitted in a robust manner over an analog FM wireless link. The receiver employs state-of-the-art filters, RF amplifiers, mixers and detector to capture the encoded signal and a DSP recovers the original digital audio.

This digital/analog hybrid technique has some very beneficial properties. As the information being transmitted is digitally encoded, immunity to noise is much greater compared to what a compander can offer. The encoded audio is sent in analog format, preventing spectral and power efficiency and operating range from becoming compromised.

Under weak RF conditions, the received signal degrades gracefully, like an analog system, delivering as much usable audio as possible at maximum range. Since the audio is free of compander artifacts, pumping and breathing problems are also greatly reduced.

This is the basic receiver with audio outputs on the rear panel only.
