Lectrosonics Super Mini Transmitter

This miniature transmitter brings Digital Hybrid Wireless™ technology to essentially any wireless lavaliere or headset microphone application. Its tiny size makes concealment easy, while setup and control is simplified with membrane switches and an LCD interface. Isolated output reduces IM (intermodulation), allowing for a greater number of channels in operation.

The splash-proof housing is machined out of a single block of aluminum, which is then plated with a super-hard, non-corrosive coating. The SM transmitter is equally at home in theatre, on tour, and in television and film production where temperature and environmental extremes require superior performance under the most demanding conditions.

Product Weight:  2.7 oz
Dimensions:  2.3"W x 1.8"H x 0.64"D (not including microphone)

Spurious radiation: 60dB below carrier       
Equivalent input noise:    -125dBV, A-weighted       

Input level           
If wired for dynamic mic: 0.5mV to 50mV before limiting. Greater than 1V with limiting.

Input impedance           
Dynamic Mic: 300Ω       
Electret Lavaliere: Virtual ground with servo-adjusted constant voltage bias       
Line Level: 2.7kΩ

Bias Voltages
Fixed 5V at up to 5mA (pin 2)
Selectable 2V or 4V (pin 3) for any electret lavaliere microphone using jumpers in the connector
               
Input limiter: Soft limiter; 30dB range       
           
Gain control range: 44dB; panel mounted membrane switches       
Modulation indicators: Dual bicolor LEDs indicate modulation of -20, -10, 0, +10dB referenced to full modulation.       

Frequency Response
Microphone Input: Variable low frequency roll-off with selectable 3 dB down points of 35, 50, 70, 100, 120 and 150 Hz; high frequency response extends to 20 kHz +/- 1 dB.       
Line Input: 32 Hz to 20 kHz +/- 1 dB               
           
Signal to Noise Ratio (dB) (Overall System 400 Series Mode):           
SmartNR        No Limiting    w/Limiting
OFF                 103.5               108.0
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. Once activated, the limiter compresses 30+ dB of transmitter input range into 4.5dB of receiver output  range, thus reducing the measured figure for SNR without limiting by 4.5dB.
