ARCHITECT’S
SPECIFICATIONS
The handheld vocal radio microphone shall
be for use with a companion receiver as part
of a wireless RF transmission system. The ra-
dio microphone shall operate within six UHF
frequency ranges, each with a 42 MHz
switching bandwidth: 516 – 558 MHz, 566 –
608 MHz, 626 – 668 MHz, 734 –776 MHz,
780 – 822 MHz, 823 – 865 MHz; transmission
frequencies shall be 1,680 per range and
shall be tunable in 25 kHz steps. The radio
microphone shall feature 20 fixed frequency
banks with up to 32 compatible frequency
presets and 6 user banks with up to 32 user
programmable frequencies.
Nominal/peak deviation shall be ±24 kHz/
±48 kHz. Frequency stability shall be
≤
±15 ppm. RF output power at 50
O
shall
be switchable between 10 mW (Low) and
30 mW (Standard).
The radio microphone shall incorporate the
Sennheiser HDX compander system and a
defeatable pilot tone squelch.
Audio frequency response shall range from
80 – 18,000 Hz. Signal-to-noise ratio at 1 mV
and peak deviation shall be
≥
115 dBA.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) shall be
≤
0.9 %. Input sensitivity shall be adjustable
within a 48 dB range in steps of 6 dB.
The radio microphone shall be menu-driven
with a backlit LC display showing the current
frequency, frequency bank and channel
number, metering of AF level, transmission
status, lock status, pilot tone transmission,
muting function, and battery status. An au-
to-lock feature shall be provided to prevent
settings from being accidentally altered.
The radio microphone parameters shall
either be configurable in the associated
receiver’s menu and synchronized with the
radio microphone via an integrated infrared
interface or shall be programmable in the
radio microphone menu.
