About Lectrosonics UFM50

Why settle for anything less than exceptional audio clarity and stability in your productions The UFM50 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module is an innovative, high-quality solution designed to enhance antenna systems that demand robust performance over long cable runs or require distribution to multiple receivers or locations. This module is expertly crafted by Lectrosonics, a leader in the audio industry, ensuring that you are investing in a product that is both reliable and efficient.

The UFM50 stands out with its ability to apply RF gain directly at the antenna, effectively compensating for any potential signal loss through extended lengths of coaxial cable. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining signal integrity in complex setups. Moreover, the UFM50 can be seamlessly integrated into a compact, high-performance multicoupler system, positioned ahead of an RF splitter to adeptly offset loss and preserve the quality of your audio feed.

Engineered with precision, the UFM50's design prioritizes RF filtering before amplification, a strategic approach that significantly minimizes intermodulation (IM) products and prevents overload, ensuring a clean, undistorted signal. The module employs two transmission line ceramic resonators at its input, delivering precise filtering with a 50 MHz bandwidth. Subsequently, a high-quality GasFET RF amplifier applies 12dB of gain, boasting an impressive +41dBm IP3 for exceptional RF performance free from IM or overload issues.

The UFM50's power supply features a switching regulator that expertly controls current consumption across an input voltage range of 8 to 16 volts. This regulator is key to maintaining low current consumption and heat dissipation, making the UFM50 an ideal choice for portable audio mixing in field production and electronic news gathering (ENG) environments.

For power flexibility, the UFM50 can be energized from an external DC source or via phantom power through a coaxial cable connected to the UMC16A Multicoupler. Its durable construction includes a cast aluminum housing and a brushed aluminum cover plate, ensuring the module withstands the rigors of both field conditions and long-term installations. Connectivity is robust and secure, featuring two rugged BNC connectors and a threaded, locking power jack, designed to withstand the challenges of demanding professional use.

In summary, the UFM50 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module is the epitome of Lectrosonics' commitment to durable, efficient, and innovative audio solutions. It is the perfect choice for audio professionals who require a reliable in-line amplifier to boost the signal strength of wireless microphones, ensuring flawless performance in a variety of applications.
