The audio input circuitry is essentially the same as on
Lectrosonics SM and L Series transmitters. Any mi-
crophone wired as Lectrosonics “compatible” or “servo
bias” will work with the SPDR.
The Power LED is green when the SPDR is running on
battery power. When recording, the light will flash green.
Once battery power is low (30 minutes remaining), the
LED will turn red. Once the red LED begins flashing, the
SPDR can die at any moment.
The Power LED is blue when the SPDR is running on
external power. When recording, the light will flash blue.
If both batteries and external power are connected to
the SPDR, it will run on external power and the LED will
be blue.
Last, the LED will briefly blink blue rapidly on receiving
a successful time code jam.
Settings
Settings are accessed by pressing MENU/SEL on
the keypad, and then using the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons and BACK button to navigate the menu items
and select functions. The buttons also provide alternate
functions as labeled by the soft buttons (or icons) on the
LCD.
