SYSTEM FEATURES
Shure LX Wireless Systems offer a number of exceptional features, including:
•
Exclusive Shure MARCAD Circuitry (LX4). MARCAD (MAximum Ratio Combin-
ing Audio Diversity) circuitry constantly monitors signals from both receiver sections
and combines them to create a single output signal. The result is improved reception
and exceptional freedom from dropouts.
•
Half-Rack Receiver Size. The LX3 and LX4 receivers interface with the HR (half-
rack) format, and are supplied with both single and dual rack-mount hardware. An
optional WA503 accessory kit lets you front-mount antennas.
•
Power/Battery Fuel Gauge. The LX1 and LX2 transmitters include a three-light
gauge that indicates both “power on” and the amount of battery life remaining. (Refer
to the
Checking the Transmitter Battery section.)
•
Dual RF Level Meters (LX4). Instead of a conventional single RF meter, the LX4
receiver has two meters, one for each antenna. The dual meters indicate received
signal strength at each antenna, and make it easier to identify and troubleshoot RF
“dead spots.”
•
Audio Metering. A five-light audio meter helps to optimize transmitter gain setting
and lets you monitor audio level during operation.
•
True Guitar Sound. Guitar players demanding the highest degree of sound quality
and reliability will appreciate the low noise and uncolored sound of the LX Wireless
System.
•
Noise Squelch. This circuit analyzes signal
quality instead of signal strength. This
virtually eliminates the possibility of annoying noise bursts coming through your re-
ceiver.
•
Body-Pack Transmitter Belt Clip. The belt clip has a wider contact surface for a
better grip, and firmly holds thinner, more slippery materials. It can be removed or
inverted for special positioning.
•
Grip/Switch Cover Accessory. The unbreakable WA555 grip/switch cover acces-
sory, supplied with all LX2 hand-held microphone-transmitters, prevents accidental
movement of the power and mute switches and provides a “grip” feel.
•
Compact Power Adapter. The supplied ac power adapter incorporates small, in-
line transformers that save space on ac power strips. It also has mounting tabs so
it can be secured to any surface, as well as locking dc power connectors to prevent
accidental disconnection from the receiver.
