Digital Transmitter

Introduction

The DCHT, DCHT/E01 transmitter is designed to work 

with a companion receiver (such as the Lectrosonics 

M2R, part of the Duet IEM system) as an audio relay 

between an audio production bag or cart and a camera 

or other audio device. The 6-pin input jack accepts two 

mic or line level analog signals or AES digital signals 

from external sources with a variety of adapter cables. 

Analog inputs can be linked for the same gain when 

used with a stereo source, or operate independently 

with individual settings.
This third generation digital design features specially 

developed, high efficiency digital circuitry for extended 

operating time on two AA batteries. The transmitter can 

tune in coarse or fine steps across the UHF television 

band from 470.100 to 607.950 MHz (E01 frequency 

range is 470.100 to 614.375 MHz), with a selectable 

output power of 10, 25 or 50 mW.
Studio quality audio performance is assured by high 

quality components in the preamp, wide range input 

gain adjustment and DSP-controlled limiting.   and 

settings are included for any lavaliere microphone, 

dynamic microphones and line level inputs. Input gain 

is adjustable over a 51 dB range in 1 dB steps to allow 

a precise match to the input signal level, to maximize 

dynamic range and signal to noise ratio.
A separate switch is provided on the top panel that can 

be configured as mute, power or bypass.
The housing is constructed of solid machined aluminum 

for lasting ruggedness. The exterior is finished with an 

ultra hard, dark electroless nickel finish called 

ebENi

Firmware updates are made through a side panel micro 

USB port.

Canada ISED Notice

This device operates on a no-protection, no-interference basis. Should the user seek to obtain 

protection from other radio services operating in the same TV bands, a radio licence is required.

General Technical 

Description 

DSP-controlled Input Limiter

The transmitter employs a DSP-controlled analog audio 

limiter prior to the analog-to-digital converter. The limiter 

has a range greater than 30 dB for excellent overload 

protection. A dual release envelope makes the limiter 

acoustically transparent while maintaining low distor-

tion. It can be thought of as two limiters in series, con-

nected as a fast attack and release limiter followed by 

a slow attack and release limiter. The limiter recovers 

quickly from brief transients, so that its action is hidden 

from the listener, but recovers slowly from sustained 

high levels to keep audio distortion low and preserve 

short term dynamic changes in the audio level.

Encryption

When transmitting audio, there are situations where pri-

vacy is essential, such as during professional sporting 

events, in court rooms or private meetings. For instanc-

es where your audio transmission needs to be kept 

secure, without sacrificing audio quality, Lectrosonics 

implements AES256 encryption in our digital wireless 

microphone systems. High entropy encryption keys are 

first created by the DCHT Transmitter. The key is then 

synced with an encryption-capable digital receiver, via 

the IR port. The audio will be encrypted and can only 

be decoded if both DCHT and receiver have the match-

ing encryption key. If you are trying to transmit an audio 

signal and keys do not match, all that will be heard is 

silence.
