Lectrosonics Intros L Series
Wireless Mic Products
L

ectrosonics has announced three
new products in the company's
L Series 'Large Bandwidth' line of
wireless microphones.
The new L Series units all share
a wide tuning range of three
standard Lectrosonics blocks, or
67.5 to 76.8 MHz, depending on
the speciﬁc frequency band, and
employ Lectrosonics' patented
Digital Hybrid Wireless technology
f o r c o m p a n d o r- f re e a u d i o
along with compatibility modes
for interoperability with older
analogue systems.
The new L Series product
group consists of the LMb and LT
beltpack transmitters, and the LR
miniature receiver.
The LMb is the latest successor
in Lectrosonics' line of economical
beltpack transmitters designed
for applications including theatre,
house of worship, TV, ENG, video

and film production. The LMb
features an all-metal housing, wire
belt clip, 50 mW of RF power, 25 or
100 kHz tuning steps (yielding up to
3,072 selectable frequencies) and
an integrated multi-function switch
with menu-selectable modes for
power, mute or talkback. A graphic
LCD and membrane switch panel
plus IR synch port make setup and
operation a snap. Power is provided
via two AA batteries.
Like the LMb, the LT transmitter
features 25 or 100 kHz tuning steps
(yielding up to 3,072 selectable
frequencies), an integrated
multi-function switch with menuselectable modes for power, mute
or talkback, and a graphic LCD
and membrane switch panel plus
IR synch port for ease of setup
and operation. The LT additionally
facilitates user-selectable RF
transmission power of 50 or 100 mW.

A detachable antenna adds to
the LT's versatility by allowing for
remote mount antennas. Also, the LT
responds to remote commands from
either the dedicated Lectrosonics
RM remote unit or smartphone apps
with this capability.
Power is provided via two AA
batteries. Applications for the LT
transmitter include TV and film
production, ENG, stage, musical
instruments, camera hops,
corporate AV, and many others.
The ultra-compact LR receiver
takes the Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid
Wireless compact receiver concept
to an entirely new level. Designed to
be ultra-portable for use with DSLR,
4/3, small 4K, and other compact
HD cameras, the LR's diminutive
size belies the technology inside.
The wide tuning bandwidth with
tracking front-end ﬁlters provides
plenty of ﬂexibility while avoiding the

vulnerabilities of wider pass bands.
Tuning steps are user selectable at
25 or 100 kHz, yielding up to 3,072
operating frequencies. Compatibility
modes enable the LR to operate
with older analogue transmitters.
Dual antenna diversity improves
range and resistance to dropouts.
The RF spectrum analyser and
Lectrosonics' SmartTune capability
make quick work of ﬁnding clean
frequencies on site.
All three L Series units are
available in four different
frequency ranges for worldwide
use: A1 (470.100 - 537.575 MHz),
B1 (537.600 - 614.375 MHz), C1
(614.400 - 691.175 MHz) and D1
(691.200 - 767.975 MHz).

R

oss Video recently launched
XPression Studio GO! and
XPression Bluebox GO!, two new

versions of the powerful laptop
graphics solution: XPression
Prime GO!
XPression Studio GO! delivers
fully-featured creation and
playback software.

For customers who want to
use custom applications, such
as score bugs, on a laptop there
is XPression BlueBox GO! Both
versions support video input.
When XPression Prime, Studio
or Bluebox GO! is coupled with a
Ross switcher of any kind, there is
no compression of graphics into
an IP stream - and, therefore,
no slow recall times or loss of
image quality.
Graphics can be switched
frame-accurately with
switcher effects, score clocks
can be integrated easily, and
graphics can be written directly
from XPression into the switcher's
Ross Video's graphics solution XPression Studio GO! and XPression Bluebox GO! mediastores for "additional"

graphics channels.
"Due to the popularity of XPression
Prime GO!, we decided to offer GO!
versions of all XPression software,"
said Brian Olson, Director of
Graphics Marketing Product
Management for Ross Video.
"XPression GO! is the industry's
most powerful, fully 3D, portable
solution on the market today.
"With an ASUS PC laptop and
AJA Io XT Thunderbolt interface,
XPression GO! outputs HDSDI video,
key and audio.
"With these GO! systems you can
produce high-quality, fast-recall
graphics for an entire programme
quickly and easily."
