The Lectrosonics HMa Wireless Transmitter RE50B Mic Kit 470-537MHzfrom Lectrosonics HMa Wireless Transmitter RE50B Mic Kit 470-537MHzis a UHF plug-on transmitter that accepts mic or line-level signals via a standard XLR connector. The transmitter is designed to be paired with a Lectrosonics receiver and handheld microphone (sold separately)for use in applications for ENG (Electronic News Gathering), EFP (Electronic Field Productions), interviews for broadcast TV, and more. The HMa offer phantom power selectable at 5, 15, and 48V—allowing it to work with a wide variety of condenser mics. Of course you can switch the phantom power off entirely if you're using a dynamic microphone.

The input amplifier of the HMa transmitter uses an ultralow-noise op-amp for quiet operation and offers input gain control along with a wide-range dual-release envelope limiter. A 24-bit A to D converter digitizes the audio, and filters the supersonic noise above 21 kHz. The resulting signal is encoded with a proprietary algorithm to produce an analog data signal for RF transmission.

This version of the HMa features a tuning range of 67 MHz, with tuning steps in increments of 100 kHz or 25 kHz, and is set for use in the A1: 470 to 537 MHz range. DSP compatibility mode allows the transmitter to work with legacy analog wireless microphone and IFB receivers as well as some receivers from other manufacturers.

Finally, the transmitter is powered by two AA batteries, with status indicated by a multi-color LED. A USB port is also provided for firmware updates, and an IR (infrared) port is included to simplify setup with IR enabled receivers.

The antenna is formed between the machined aluminum housing of the transmitter and the attached microphone or cable. It functions as a dipole radiator when attached to a hand-held microphone and somewhat like a ground plane antenna when connected with a cable or plugged directly into a mixer

Q: 4. Can I pair with Senheisser MKE2?

A: I'm sorry, but Sennheiser does not make a version of the MKE2 with the correct wiring for this transmitter.

Q: 5. Am I able to use the lectrosonics IFB to tune into this transmitter? I didn't see an IFB mode.. just DHCT and DUET mode.

A: This unit is not compatible with the IFB model receivers. For an IFB receiver, you'd need a version of their IFBT4 transmitters in the corresponding frequency as the receiver. Such as this B&H # LEIFBT421.

Q: 6. Can I create a flexlist with this transmitter and the m2r?

A: Yes. On page 12 of Operators Manual it is described: Selecting M2R Receiver Functions The M2R Receiver includes a FlexList™ mode where up to 16 mixes can be accessed by name. This feature enables a user to quickly find and listen to any of the performer’s mixes on the stage. The mix includes the name, frequency, mixer settings and limiter settings. The mix is easily shared via the M2R IR port, added to the list of 16 mixes and stored until cleared by the user. The M2R allows the user to toggle between the mixes, making troubleshooting issues easy and efficient. Flex Sync DCHT, DCHT/E01 information to the M2R FlexList either as one stereo Channel or individual channels: - SendTx: Send (sync) all receiver information to the M2R FlexList as one stereo channel - SendCh1: Send (sync) Channel 1 unique information to the M2R FlexList - SendCh2: Send (sync) Channel 2 unique information to the M2R FlexList - SendM12: Send (sync) a mono mix of both channels to the M2R FlexList Use th

Q: 7. Will the UTX-B40 work with the URX-P03 receiver. I need to replace a broken UTX-B03?

A: Yes, as long as both components operate on the same frequency band, they will work together. For example, this specific transmitter operates on the UC14: 470 to 542 MHz band, so the receiver would need to operate on the same band.

Q: 8. Is there a battery eliminator made for this?

A: No,at this time there are no battery eliminators or alternate powering options available for the LMb transmitter.

Q: 9. What recivers are available to use with this transmitter?

A: The list of receivers compatible with the Lectrosonics HMa Plug-On Wireless Transmitter depends on the frequency range selected. For an HMa on the A1 (470-537MHz) or B1 (537-607MHz) ranges, there are many options including the Lectrosonics SRc, LR, UCR411A. If using the HMa on the 941 (941-951MHz), the options are limited to the SRc receiver.
