Lectrosonics UFM50-2526 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module (Block 25-26)

Introduction to Lectrosonics UFM50-2526 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module
The Lectrosonics UFM50-2526 is a high-performance UHF Filter/Amplifier Module designed for complex antenna systems that manage long coaxial cable runs or distribute signals to multiple receivers. This module is vital for reducing signal loss across extensive distances, ensuring that your audio quality remains pristine in various professional settings, from live events to broadcast operations.

Optimized RF Filtering for Clarity
By prioritizing RF filtering before gain, the UFM50-2526 effectively minimizes intermodulation products and prevents signal overload. This approach is supported by two transmission line ceramic resonators at the input, which provide a 50 MHz bandwidth, allowing for clear, uninterrupted signals even in the most demanding environments.

Enhanced Signal Strength and Quality
After the initial filtering stage, the UFM50-2526 applies a 12dB gain using a top-tier GasFET RF amplifier, boasting an impressive +41dBm IP3. This setup ensures that the module delivers outstanding RF performance without succumbing to interference or overload, making it an ideal choice for professional audio applications.

Efficient Power Management for Portable Use
A built-in switching regulator controls current consumption within an 8-16 volts range, maintaining low heat dissipation and energy efficiency. This feature is particularly beneficial in portable audio mixing setups frequently used in field production and electronic news gathering, where equipment must perform reliably over long durations.

Durable and Secure Construction
The module’s robust cast aluminum housing and brushed aluminum cover plate are designed to withstand harsh conditions, whether in the field or in a permanent installation. It also features two rugged BNC connectors and a threaded, locking power jack, ensuring stable and secure connections essential for consistent performance.

Versatile Powering Options
Offering flexibility in operation, the UFM50-2526 can be powered either from an external DC source or via phantom power through a coaxial cable connected to a multicoupler. This adaptability makes it suitable for various setups, enhancing its functionality across different scenarios.
