DBSMD-A1B1

Lectrosonics

Offering 100% digital architecture with secure AES-256 encryption, a wider frequency range, a high-density mode for incredibly tight channel spacing, extended battery life, and timecode jam sync support in the same ultracompact size and shape as its SMWBD predecessor, the Lectrosonics DBSMD dual-battery digital wireless bodypack transmitter/recorder delivers premium audio quality, dependability, and versatility for professional sound recordists working in demanding production environments such as TV, film, sports, and live sound. From its rugged aluminum housing and non-corrosive finish to its water-resistant control panel and OLED display, the DBSMD is ready to take on the challenges of any shooting scenario. The servo bias input circuitry can accommodate an electret lavalier mic, a dynamic mic, or a line-level input, and the TA5M input jack is also able to accept a timecode feed. Whether used as a transmitter or a standalone recorder, the DBSMD delivers pristine 24-bit / 48 kHz audio. It is compatible with D Squared, DCR822, DCHR/DCHT, and Duet systems.Built for Professionals The DBSMD digital transcorder (transmitter/recorder) was developed specifically for the needs of the film industry and offers timecode jam sync capability. It provides hands-free setup and adjustment using audible tones and can be put to sleep to conserve battery power during setup while buried inside costuming, then awakened for normal operation when the production begins.100% Digital Architecture with Encryption The DBSMD is the latest in the long and hugely successful SM Series of miniature transmitters and is part of the Lectrosonics digital ecosystem including D Squared, DCR822, DCHR/DCHT, and Duet systems. The new model features a tuning range covering the A1 and B1 bands from 470.100 to 607.950 MHz. With 100% digital audio and transmission, the DBSMD has an extremely low audio noise floor plus AES-256 CTR mode encryption with four different key policies. Digital transmitters offer new opportunities including encryption, flatter phase and amplitude response, quieter noise floor, and increased metadata during transmission. The latest design can also increase battery life, allow for extremely tight channel spacing, and increased range per average RF power.Variable RF Power and Extended Battery Life The DBSMD also offers selectable output power of 10, 25, and 50mW in D2 mode. A special high-density transmit mode (HDM) at 2mW allows for ultra-tight channel spacing of 200 kHz without concern for frequency coordination, giving you over 24 channels in just 6 MHz of bandwidth. Depending on the battery type and RF output power, the DBSMD can give you up to 18 hours of continuous use.Versatile Input Section with Limiter The input section features the unique Lectrosonics servo bias input circuitry with a standard TA5M type jack for use with electret lavalier mics, dynamic mics, or line-level signals. A DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is employed ahead of the first mic preamp to protect the entire audio chain from overload. The limiter has a range of more than 30 dB for excellent overload protection, and a dual-release envelope that makes the limiter acoustically transparent while maintaining low distortion of brief transients and longer duration peaks.Essential Features Selectable output power to maximize operating range or battery lifeUltralightweight, corrosion-resistant housingOLED interface with lockout optionServo bias input circuitryIR (infrared) port for fast setupAlternate use as recorder on internal microSDHC memory card (16GB card included)Timecode jam sync capability with TCXO for High-density mode for ultratight channel spacingCompatible with existing accessories from SMDWB including SMBATELIM, pouches, and clipsWireless Designer can include HDM in coordinations (requires PC version 2.0.31 and Macversion 2.0.26 or higher)Fine-Tuned Audio Input gain can be adjusted in 1 dB increments over a 44 dB range.
