About the Lectrosonics SMDWB Wideband Beltpack Transmitter
The Lectrosonics SMDWB Wideband Beltpack Transmitter represents a significant advancement in wireless microphone technology, designed for professional applications that demand exceptional audio clarity and robust RF performance across a broad spectrum. Operating on the DECT band, it utilizes a dedicated, license-free frequency range that is inherently immune to the congested and unpredictable interference common in the standard UHF spectrum, making it an ideal choice for touring productions, broadcast, and installed systems where frequency coordination is challenging. Its wideband capability allows it to access a substantial block of frequencies automatically, simplifying setup and ensuring a clear link is found quickly without manual tuning. The beltpack form factor provides reliable body-worn operation for talent, presenters, and performers who require complete mobility without compromising audio integrity.
Engineered with Lectrosonics' renowned emphasis on sound quality, the transmitter incorporates sophisticated audio processing and high-quality analog circuitry to capture and deliver a pristine signal. It features a professional-grade preamplifier optimized for use with lavalier and headworn microphones, providing sufficient gain for low-output transducers while maintaining a wide dynamic range and low self-noise. The unit supports both analog and digital hybrid wireless transmission schemes, leveraging Lectrosonics' Digital Hybrid Wireless technology to combine the spectral efficiency and robustness of digital transmission with the nuanced sonic characteristics of analog. This results in clear, natural audio that is highly resistant to RF dropouts and interference, even in difficult signal environments.
Durability and user-centric design are hallmarks of this beltpack transmitter. It is built to withstand the rigors of daily professional use, housed in a rugged machined aluminum casing that protects its internal electronics. The interface is intuitively laid out with a clear OLED display for monitoring status, frequency, and battery life, along with tactile controls for power, pairing, and menu navigation. It offers flexible powering options via standard AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack, supporting long operational times. With its robust metal connector guards, color-coded tactile power switch, and comprehensive status indicators, the SMDWB beltpack is a tool designed for reliability, delivering consistent performance that audio professionals can depend on show after show.
