3000 Series (Fourth Generation) Frequency-Agile True Diversity UHF

Wireless Microphone Systems

appropriate frequency for the area in which the wireless is operating. 25 kHz
frequency spacing enables the system to easily find an open frequency in crowded
RF environments, while pre-coordinated frequency scan groups simplify selection of
usable frequencies in a multichannel wireless system. Once selected, frequencies
can be synced with transmitters using the system’s IR sync functionality. The
system’s squelch setting can be configured to automatically adjust to maximize
range while minimizing potential interference. Advanced digital Tone Lock™ squelch
provides enhanced rejection of interference. In addition, the Tone Lock signal from
the transmitter also conveys information on the transmitter’s battery condition and
mute status back to the receiver for display. The receiver’s dual-mode front panel
display can switch between the standard view, which provides continuous indication
of RF signal strength, frequency, mute status, audio modulation level of the received
signal, and transmitter information, and a performance view, which highlights key
metering. Settings can be easily adjusted using the control dial and BACK button
located on the receiver’s front panel. Settings can also be locked to prevent them
from being changed.
