The Lectrosonics HHa Wireless Transmitter 470-537 MHzfrom Lectrosonics HHa Wireless Transmitter 470-537 MHzis a Digital Hybrid Wireless handheld transmitter sold without a microphone capsule. When paired with a receiver and mic capsule, it offers reliable, professional-quality wireless audio for a wide variety of applications including live performances, broadcast TV work, and productions for corporate events and houses of worship.

The HHa transmitter is engineered with a wide frequency response and wide dynamic range to deliver high-quality speech and vocal reinforcement. A compatible thread-on microphone capsule is required, and a wide variety of options from manufacturers including EV, Shure, Heil Sound, Telefunken, and many more are available separately. The gain is adjustable over a 45 dB range, while the built-in limiter helps you avoid clipping the input. In addition to its native 400-Series mode, the unit is also compatible with Lectrosonics 200 series, 100 series, and IFB receivers as well as other systems from top manufacturers.

This version of the HHa transmits on the A1: 470 to 537 MHz frequency band using 25 or 100 kHz tuning steps across a 67 MHz tuning range. Additional features include a membrane switch and LCD interface, selectable RF power at 50 and 100mW, and an IR (infrared) port for quick pairing with Lectrosonics receivers.

Digital Hybrid Wireless combines digital audio with an analog FM-radio link to provide both outstanding audio quality and exemplary noise-free RF performance. 24-bit digital audio information is encoded in the transmitter into an analog format, and transmitted over an analog FM wireless link. At the receiver, the signal is then decoded to restore the original digital audio.

The Lectrosonics HHa is compatible with thread-on capsules from other manufacturers using a 1.25" opening and 28 thread pitch such as EV, Shure, Heil Sound, and Telefunken (sold separately).

The HHa transmitter allows selection from two power settings. The lower RF power setting uses less current so battery life is enhanced. The higher power setting provides greater range and resistance to dropouts.

An IR port allows for quick and easy pairing to the receiver's operating channel.

A programmable button on the back of the transmitter provides a quick mute function. It can be disabled using the control panel inside the battery compartment. The button can also be used as a talkback function where the button sends a signal to the Venue receiver (sold separately) then switches the audio to a second output, which can then be routed differently. Use it for talkback, cueing, or other purposes depending on the application.
