The R400A operates in the Frequency Block 26, which ranges from 665.600 to 691.100MHz.
The R400A is fully compatible with all Lectrosonics 400 Series Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitters, 200 Series, 100 Series analog transmitters, IFB transmitters, and even some analog transmitters from other manufacturers.
The SmartTune feature automatically scans all available frequencies in the receiver's frequency block and tunes the receiver to the frequency with the lowest RF interference. This feature significantly reduces setup time and ensures optimal performance.
The R400A receiver offers both Balanced (XLR) audio output and Unbalanced (1/4-inch jack) Line Out and Monitor output. Both outputs operate independently and are each controlled by their own digital attenuator.
The SmartSquelch system dynamically adjusts squelching behavior under varying conditions, delivering acceptable audio quality from otherwise unusable signals.

A cutting-edge solution for professional audio and video applications, the R400A Digital Hybrid Wireless UHF Diversity Receiver, Frequency Block 26 (665.600-691.100MHz) is an advanced piece of technology that offers superior signal reception and versatility. This high-tech receiver is fully compatible with all Lectrosonics 400 Series Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitters, 200 Series, 100 Series analog transmitters, IFB transmitters, and even some analog transmitters from other manufacturers.
The R400A is equipped with 256 user-selectable frequencies and boasts proprietary audio processing that includes a digital signal processor (DSP) for exceptionally low distortion. This innovative device delivers a superior signal-to-noise ratio and features two independent audio outputs, one balanced and one unbalanced, for maximum flexibility.
One of the standout features of this sophisticated receiver is its Digital Hybrid Wireless Technology. This state-of-the-art design combines digital audio with an analog FM radio link to provide outstanding audio quality and exemplary, noise-free RF performance. The patented encoding and decoding process eliminates compandor artifacts and produces an audio frequency response flat to 20 kHz.
The R400A also features SmartTune auto frequency selection, which automatically scans all available frequencies in the receiver's frequency block and tunes the receiver to the frequency with the lowest RF interference. This feature significantly reduces setup time and ensures optimal performance even in RF saturated environments.
The receiver's SmartDiversity feature uses a microprocessor-controlled antenna phase combining to effectively deal with multipath dropouts. This adaptive technique operates over a wide range of RF levels to anticipate dropouts before they occur, ensuring a stable and reliable signal.
The R400A also features a SmartSquelch system that dynamically adjusts squelching behavior under varying conditions, delivering acceptable audio quality from otherwise unusable signals. Additionally, the receiver is equipped with a Smart Noise Reduction algorithm, which removes hiss without sacrificing high frequency response.
The R400A receiver is designed to operate with Lectrosonics 400 Series transmitters for optimal performance, but its digital signal processing allows it to operate with Lectrosonics 200 Series, 100 Series, and certain non-Lectrosonics transmitters in special compatibility modes.
The receiver also offers both Balanced (XLR) audio output and Unbalanced (1/4-inch jack) Line Out and Monitor output for the ultimate in flexibility. Both outputs operate independently and are each controlled by their own digital attenuator.
In summary, the R400A Digital Hybrid Wireless UHF Diversity Receiver is a high-tech, innovative solution for professional audio and video applications, offering superior signal reception, versatility, and a wide range of advanced features.
