General Technical Description

Introduction

The HHa handheld transmitter uses state-of-the-art 

Digital Hybrid Wireless

® 

wireless technology, select-

able output power and a versatile microphone capsule 

mounting system to meet the needs of audio profes-

sionals and vocalists.
The compandor-free Digital Hybrid audio chain pre-

serves the quality of the selected microphone capsule 

and delivers it to the sound and recording system 

without coloration. This superb audio performance and 

highly reliable RF transmission makes it ideally suited 

for high end stage and studio production.

Digital Signal Processor

The DSP encodes the digitized audio from the A-D 

converter and adds an ultrasonic pilot tone to control 

the receiver’s squelch in systems that use pilot tone. It 

also controls the input limiter and audio metering.

Compatibility Modes

The transmitter was designed to operate with Lec-

trosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless

®

 receivers and will 

yield the best performance when doing so. Due to 

the flexibility of digital signal processing, however, the 

transmitter is also able to operate with Lectrosonics 

200 Series, Lectrosonics 100 Series, IFB and certain 

non-Lectrosonics analog receivers in special compat-

ibility modes.  (Contact the Lectrosonics Sales Depart-

ment for a complete list of compatible receivers.)

Digital Hybrid Wireless

®

 Technology 

All wireless links suffer from channel noise to some 

degree and all wireless microphone systems seek to 

minimize the impact of that noise on the desired signal.  

Conventional analog systems use compandors to 

increase the signal to noise ratio, at the cost of distor-

tion artifacts. Wholly digital systems defeat the noise 

by sending the audio information in digital form, at 

the cost of some combination of power, bandwidth or 

channel count.
The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless

®

 system over-

comes channel noise by digitally encoding the audio 

in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet 

still sending the encoded information via an analog FM 

wireless link. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital 

implementation of an analog compandor. Instead, it 

is a technique that can be accomplished only in the 

digital domain, even though the inputs and outputs are 

analog signals.  
Because it uses an analog FM link, the system enjoys 

all the benefits of conventional FM wireless systems, 

such as excellent range, efficient use of RF spectrum, 

and long battery life.  However, unlike conventional FM 

systems, the design has eliminated the analog com-

pandor and its artifacts.

Wide Deviation

±75 kHz deviation is used in the Digital Hybrid and 200 

Series compatibility modes to dramatically improve 

the capture ratio, signal to noise ratio and dynamic 

range of the wireless system. This, in conjunction with 

accurate input gain adjustment, produces outstanding 

audio quality that rivals a hard wired connection.
