For professionals seeking a robust, high-tech solution for signal transmission in the demanding environments of the entertainment industry, the SMV Super Miniature Variable Power Transmitter stands out with its durable, compact, and portable design. This multifunctional device offers selectable output power of 50, 100, and 250 mW, catering to both single and dual battery models, ensuring that users can optimize for either extended operating range or battery life according to their specific needs.
The SMV Transmitter is housed in an ultra-lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum casing, designed to withstand the rigors of on-location shoots and live productions. Its water-resistant seals provide added protection in damp environments, making it a reliable choice for outdoor events or challenging weather conditions.
Ease of use is a hallmark of this transmitter, featuring an intuitive LCD interface with a lockout option to prevent accidental changes during critical moments. The device is engineered for seamless integration with a wide array of receivers through programmable compatibility modes, ensuring versatility across various audio setups.
Equipped with servo bias input circuitry, the SMV Transmitter accepts a standard TA5M type jack, accommodating electret lavaliere mics, dynamic mics, or line level signals. The DSP-based design ensures compatibility with all Digital Hybrid receivers, as well as backward compatibility with Lectrosonics 200 and 100 Series and IFB receivers, and even some analog wireless receivers from other brands.
The transmitter's sophisticated input limiter, controlled by DSP, offers more than 30 dB of dynamic range, providing exceptional overload protection while maintaining acoustic transparency and low distortion. This feature, along with the quick recovery from transients, ensures the highest audio quality without compromising the natural dynamics of the performance.
For those requiring remote control capabilities, the SMV Transmitter is compatible with the RM and RM2 remote control units, allowing for hands-free setup and adjustments. This is particularly useful when the transmitter is concealed within costumes or set pieces, as it can be put into sleep mode to conserve battery power and then awakened when the production begins.
The circulator/isolator in the RF output circuit is a high-end feature typically found in broadcast and commercial applications, which minimizes RF intermodulation and protects the output stage, ensuring clear signal transmission even when multiple units are used in proximity.
A GORE-TEX vent in the battery door prevents moisture ingress, safeguarding the internal components, while the battery compartment is designed to accept both lithium and rechargeable AA batteries, providing flexibility and convenience for users.
The SMV Transmitter's frequency tuning range is expansive, with 256 selectable frequencies in 25 or 100 kHz steps across a 25.6MHz tuning range, accommodating the complexities of RF-intense environments and the evolving landscape of DTV telecasts.
In summary, the SMV Super Miniature Variable Power Transmitter is an indispensable tool for audio professionals who demand durability, flexibility, and the highest quality of audio transmission in their wireless microphone systems. Whether it's for theater, concert, or television production, this transmitter delivers exceptional performance and reliability.
