Specifications and Features
Audio Performance (Digital Hybrid mode)
Frequency Response: 
  Mic input:  35 Hz to 20 kHz (+/-1dB); low frequency 
    roll-off is selectable at 35, 50, 70, 100, 120, 180 Hz 
  Line/Instrument:  35 Hz to 20 kHz (+/-1dB)
THD:    0.2% (typical)
SNR at receiver output:
Note: The dual envelope “soft” 
limiter provides exceptionally good 
handling of transients using variable 
attack and release time constants. Once activated, the limiter compresses 30+ dB 
of transmitter input range into 4.5 dB of receiver output range, thus reducing the 
measured figure for SNR without limiting by 4.5 dB
