Audio outputs
Rear Panel XLR: Adjustable from -50dBu to +5dBu in 1 dB steps.
Calibrated into a typical 10 k Ohm balanced load.
Can drive 600 Ohm load.
Front Panel Controls and Indicators:
LCD control panel
Main window: Pilot tone; antenna phase, receiver battery level;
transmitter battery status; audio level, RF level

Specifications and Features
Phase invert: Audio output phase normal or inverted
SmartNR (noise reduction): OFF, NORMAL, FULL modes
(available in 400 Series mode only)
Audio Performance (overall system):
(These specs apply to 400 Series mode only.)
Frequency Response: 32 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 1dB)
THD: 0.2% (typical)
SNR at receiver output (dB):
SmartNR No Limiting w/Limiting
OFF 103.5 108.5
NORMAL 107.0 111.5
FULL 108.5 113.0
(Note: the dual envelope “soft”
limiter provides exceptionally
good handling of transients
using variable attack and release
time constants. The gradual onset of limiting in the design begins below full
modulation, which reduces the measured figure for SNR without limiting by 4.5 dB)
Input Dynamic Range: 125 dB (with full Tx limiting)
Rear Panel Controls and features: XLR audio output jack; External DC input;
Battery compartment access
