REDBACK® C 8890B 700 Channel UHF Band Diversity Wireless Mic System
Congratulations on purchasing a REDBACK PLL synthesized true diversity wireless microphone system. The UHF band wireless
microphone and receiver are the latest generation high quality audio systems. The PLL synthesized diversity wireless
microphone system operates on UHF band frequency (540-570MHz) with 700 selectable channels. Please read this instruction
manual completely before operating the system. These instructions cover the transmitters, and receiver model C 8890B. The
receiver unit is used with compatible 700 channel handheld (C 8892B) and lavalier (C 8893B) transmitters.
System Features:
• Operates on UHF band frequency range 540-570MHz with PLL synthesized control.
• Auto-scan function to easily find an interference free channel.
• Preset channel groups allow up to 8 transmitters and receivers with the use of the autoscan function, up to 12 transmitters
can be used in the same location.
• PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesized wireless microphone system with 700 selectable frequencies
making it easy to choose non-interference channels.
• Excellent reception system ensures super high sensitivity, and a high signal to noise ratio.
• Units are supplied with SMT assembled PCB modules ensuring high reliability and easy serviceability.
• High dynamic range handheld microphone for all vocal applications.
• Lapel microphone that minimises static pickup resulting in very low noise.
Receiver Features:
• 12V DC Power supply (supplied)
• 1/2 19” size case with power and RF indicators. Rack ears available for mounting one or two systems into
19” rack equipment.
• Removable aerials making the unit suitable for portable or fixed installations. Aerials are fitted with BNC connectors.
• Includes in-built power supply for antenna booster.
