Lectrosonics SMDWB-B1 Miniature Wideband Transmitter (B1: 537 to 614 MHz)

Enhance Your Audio Capture with the Lectrosonics SMDWB-B1 Transmitter
Discover the advanced capabilities of the Lectrosonics SMDWB-B1, a versatile wireless beltpack transmitter that doubles as a recording device. Designed for the rigors of ENG, EFP, and broadcast interviews, this transmitter ensures exceptional audio quality by utilizing Digital Hybrid Wireless technology. This sophisticated approach combines 24-bit digital audio processing with an analog FM radio link to reduce dropouts and audio artifacts while maintaining a robust operational range.

Rugged Design for Field Durability
Built to withstand the demanding conditions of field production, the SMDWB-B1 is encased in a machined aluminum shell, offering both lightweight handling and significant protection against physical impacts. The unit's water-resistant control panel further enhances its usability in damp environments, making it a reliable choice for outdoor recording sessions or on-the-move reporting.

Flexible Power and Connectivity Options
Operating within the B1 frequency range of 537 to 614 MHz, the SMDWB-B1 provides selectable output powers of 25, 40, and 100mW, allowing users to balance between extended battery life and increased range. Compatibility with various microphones and line-level sources is facilitated via a TA5M 5-pin input connector, ensuring the transmitter can adapt to a wide array of audio setups.

Advanced Audio Processing Features
This transmitter is not just about flexibility in operation but also excellence in sound quality. It features input gain adjustment in 1 dB increments across a 44 dB range, selectable low-pass filters to reduce unwanted noise, and servo-bias input circuitry unique to Lectrosonics. An integrated digital signal processing (DSP) limiter helps protect against overload, preserving the clarity and integrity of the transmitted audio.

Dual Functionality as a Recorder
One of the standout features of the SMDWB-B1 is its ability to record directly onto microSDHC cards at 24-bit/44.1 kHz, making it invaluable in environments where live transmission is hindered by constraints. While it cannot transmit and record simultaneously, the flexibility to switch between modes adds significant value, especially in unpredictable field conditions.
