UCR 411a

		Compact Digital Hybrid Wireless Receiver The UCR411A receiver provides professional performance and a versatile feature set in a compact design for field and location production. All settings are made from the front panel with a powerful LCD interface, making the unit ideal for use in portable bag systems, on sound carts, and in rack mount multi-couplers. An RF spectrum analyzer is built into the receiver to alleviate interference problems in an increasingly congested RF spectrum. The receiver tunes across its 25.6 MHz tuning range and records RF activity with markers on the LCD screen. Finding clear operating frequencies is a quick, simple process.

The native, compandor-free Digital Hybrid operating mode works with all Lectrosonics hybrid transmitters. DSP "compatibility modes" allow the receiver to also work with companded analog transmitters from Lectrosonics and some from other manufacturers. This expands the usefulness of the receiver and provides the backward compatibility needed to give existing customers an economical upgrade path.

The interface for setting up and operating the UCR411A receiver is an LCD display and three switches on the front panel of the receiver. All information regarding the status of audio and RF signals and battery levels in the receiver and the transmitter are simultaneously shown in the Main Window of the display.

A "locked" operating mode can be enabled by holding the MENU button down for several seconds. In this mode no changes can be made to the settings already stored, and the scanning mode cannot be entered.

A special scanning mode is provided to conduct RF site surveys and locate clear operating frequencies. A scrollable window provides a graphical illustration of RF signals (interference) within the tuning range of the receiver.

The receiver operates from external DC or internal 9 volt batteries. The battery door rotates around the XLR audio output jack, remaining attached to the receiver at all times. All parts are made of machined aluminum to endure the rigors of field production.

Protection against inserting the batteries backwards into the battery compartment is provided by both mechanical barriers and circuitry to prevent damage that might be caused by reverse polarity.

The housing is coated with an electrostatic powder coat finish and the battery door is anodized. Nomenclature is laser etched into the finishes for legibility and durability.

Digital Hybrid Wireless® is a revolutionary new design that combines digital audio with an analog FM radio link to provide outstanding audio quality and the exemplary RF performance of the finest analog wireless systems. This 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. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog compandor. Instead, it is a technique which can be accomplished only in the digital domain. The process eliminates compandor artifacts, expanding the applications to include test and measurement of acoustic spaces and musical instruments.
