Gain

This setting is very important since it will determine the 

audio signal to noise ratio and dynamic range that the 

wireless system will deliver. Gain must be set accord-

ing to the individual voice, the mic capsule in use and 

the handling technique of the user. LEDs in the control 

panel facilitate accurate gain adjustment.

Freq.

The operating frequency is normally determined using 

the scanning function in the receiver or with coordina-

tion software. The frequency is shown on the transmit-

ter LCD display in MHz and with a hexadecimal code 

that is used on most Lectrosonics receivers.

Rolloff

A low frequency roll-off filter can be set for a -3dB 

point at 35, 50, 70, 100 or 125 Hz. Roll-off slopes are 

12.2 dB/octave at 35 Hz and 10.1 dB/octave at 70 Hz 

through 125 Hz.

The frequency can be adjusted in 100 kHz or 25 kHz 

steps to match the receiver. 100 kHz is the standard 

increment for Lectrosonics wireless systems, but 25 

kHz increments may be needed for use with systems 

from other manufacturers or when frequency coordina-
