Digital Hand Held Transmitter

Rio Rancho, NM 3

General Technical Description

Introduction

The DHu handheld transmitter delivers superb audio

quality and extended operating range in a pure digital

architecture. Interchangeable microphone capsules

expand the versatility to suit a wide variety of applica-

tions and personal preferences. The superb audio per-

formance and highly reliable RF transmission makes it

ideally suited for high end stage and studio production.

Frequency Selection

The transmitter tunes continuously from 470.100 to

607.975 MHz in 25 kHz steps, making it easy to ﬁnd

clear operating frequencies. Operating frequency is

normally selected using a receiver or analyzer to as-

sess signals in the local environment to avoid interfer-

ence. Once an interference-free frequency is identiﬁed,

the transmitter frequency is set to match the receiver.

Input Gain Range and Limiter

45 dB range of input gain adjustment allows gain

settings to accurately match the user’s voice and the

varying sensitivity of different microphone capsules. A

DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is employed be-

fore the A-D converter. The limiter has a range of more

than 30 dB for excellent overload protection. A dual re-

lease envelope makes the limiter acoustically transpar-

ent while maintaining low distortion. It can be thought

of as two limiters in series, a fast attack and release

limiter followed by a slow attack and release limiter.

The limiter recovers quickly from brief transients, with

no audible side effects, and also recovers slowly from

sustained high levels to keep audio distortion low while

preserving short term dynamics.

Long Battery Life

Switching power supplies throughout the design al-

low over 5 hours of operation using two alkaline AA

batteries. The battery compartment and contacts are

designed to prevent “rattle” as the unit is handled.

Menu-Driven Control

A high-resolution LCD and control panel with mem-

brane switches provide access to the menu-driven

setup. Transmitter RF power, low frequency rolloff,

frequency selection, backlight timeout settings and

programmable switch functions are easily accessed.

Antenna

A newly designed helical antenna allows the transmit-

ter to be held in any position, since the user’s hands

have little or no effect on the RF output power.

Microphone Capsules

The transmitter is available from Lectrosonics with the

HHC cardioid condenser capsule. Capsules from sev-

eral other manufacturers with a 1.25” x 28 thread pitch

and three contact rings are also available for use with

the transmitter. Condenser or dynamic microphone

heads can be used with the transmitter, depending on

the user’s preference or the application.

Side Button Functions

A programmable switch on the side of the housing can

be conﬁgured as a mute/cough switch, a power switch,

or be disabled.

USB Port for Firmware Updates

Firmware updates are enabled by simply downloading

a ﬁle and utility program from the Lectrosonics web

site, connecting the transmitter to a computer via the

USB port and running the program.

Along with these two models from Lectrosonics, a

variety of different capsules with the same thread

and electrical interface are available from the major

microphone manufacturers.

A list of compatible capsules is on the website at www.

lectrosonics.com listed on the HH transmitter page.

Do not touch the contacts between the mic capsule

and transmitter body. When necessary, the contacts

can be cleaned with a cotton swab and alcohol.

Gain

This setting is very important since it will affect the dy-

namic range that the wireless system will deliver. Gain

must be set according to the individual voice, the mic

capsule in use and the handling technique of the user.

LEDs and a bar type indicator in the LCD facilitate ac-

curate gain adjustment.

IMPORTANT: See Input Gain Adjustment on the

next page for details.

Freq.

The operating frequency is normally determined using

the scanning function in the receiver or with coordina-

tion software. The frequency is shown on the trans-

mitter LCD display in MHz, and is set to match the

receiver. Press the MENU/SEL button repeatedly to

toggle back and forth between MHz and kHz. Adjust-

ment is made in 25 kHz increments.

ProgSw

The Programmable Switch on the side of the housing

can be set to provide several functions, or it can be

bypassed.

• Power: Turns the unit on and off. Press and hold

until the countdown is completed to turn the unit

off. A brief press will turn the unit on with the RF

output turned on.

• Cough: Enables a brief muting of the audio while

the button is held in. Audio is turned back on as

soon as the button is released.

• Mute: Turns the audio off and it remains muted

until the button is pressed again.

• (none): Disables the button functions

Rolloff

70 Hz

The roll-off frequency is normally adjusted by ear to

suit personal preferences.

Phase

The phase (polarity) of the audio can be inverted to

match other microphone capsules as needed. This is

normally used when “comb ﬁltering” is heard. Comb ﬁl-

tering is an odd sounding distortion heard when two or

more microphones are mixed with different polarities.

Switch the transmitter setting back and forth between

Normal and Invert and listen to the audio to determine

which one is the better setting.

BatType

This sets the battery monitoring for Alkaline or Lithium

batteries.

BatTime

Accumulated operating time (runtime) can be tracked

in the transmitter. The total runtime appears on the

BatTime setup screen, displayed in (hrs):(min). The

runtime is kept during battery changes, and must be

reset manually in the BatTime setup screen.

TxPower

Output power can be set to 25mW or 50mW as

needed for the application.

Default

The default setting simply returns the transmitter back

to the factory settings.

WipeKey

Selecting Yes on this setup screen erases the stored

encryption key in the transmitter.

Input Gain Adjustment

The two bicolor Modulation LEDs (located at the bot-

tom of the control panel) provide a visual indication of

the audio signal level entering the transmitter.

DHu

545.400

-40 -20 0

The audio level is shown by LEDs

and a bar type indicator on the LCD.

The gain should be set so that

the -20 LED just turns red on the

loudest peak (the onset of limiting).

The LEDs are marked for viewing when the mic cap-

sule is held up to your mouth. They will glow either red

or green to indicate modulation levels as shown in the

following table.

Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED

Less than -20 dB Off Off

-20 dB to -10 dB Green Off

-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green

+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green

Greater than +10 dB Red Red

It is best to go through the following procedure with the

transmitter in the “standby” mode so that no audio will

enter the sound system, which could cause feedback.

1) With fresh batteries in the transmitter, power the

unit on into “standby” (no transmission) mode.

2) Press the MENU/SEL button once to enter the

setup menu. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select

Gain. Press the MENU/SEL button again to enter

the setup screen.

3) Hold the microphone the way it will be used in

actual operation.

4) Speak or sing at the same voice level that will

actually be used during the program, while ob-

serving the modulation LEDs. Use the UP/DOWN

buttons to adjust the gain until the –20 dB LED

starts to ﬂicker red and the –10 dB glows green.

5) Once the audio gain has been set, the RF output

can be turned on and the audio sent through the

sound system for overall level adjustments, moni-

tor settings, etc.

NOTE: Full modulation is achieved when the

-20 LED ﬁrst turns red. 30 dB of clean limiting is

available above this point.
