Lectrosonics LMB Overview

The LMb from Lectrosonics is a digital hybrid wireless bodypack transmitter with 75 MHz tuning bandwidth and 50 mW RF power. When paired with a mic and receiver, it can be used to capture audio for applications such as broadcast TV, theater, houses of worship, live stage, and more.

The LMb has several other features to help you obtain good clear audio, such as 25 or 100 kHz tuning steps, a compatibility mode to ensure analog receivers will work well with the transmitter, a microphone input allowing you to use mic or line level inputs. When combined with the optional MI39-type instrument interface cable (sold separately), the LMb transmitter can be used as a musical instrument transmitter for guitar, bass or portable keyboard.

In addition, the durable LMb transmitter is enclosed in machined-aluminum housing and is built with a fixed antenna. A multi-function toggle switch allows audio muting, power on/off, or talkback (when used with the SRb or Venue receivers). A LCD and membrane switch interface make the LMb transmitter easy to setup and simple to use. This transmitter operates on the A1 channel between 470.100 to 537.575 MHz.

SNR at Receiver Output
SmartNR: Off 103.5 (no limiting) 108.0 (with limiting)
Normal: 107.0 (no limiting) 111.5 (with limiting)
Full: 108.5 (no limiting) 113.0 (with limiting)

Note: The dual envelope "soft" limiter provides good handling of transients using variable attack and release time constants. Once activated, the limiter compresses 30+ dB of transmitter input range into 4.5 dB of receiver output range, thus reducing the measured figure for SNR without limiting by 4.5 dB

Can you use this with a SRa receiver

Can you use this with a SRa receiver
Asked by: Anonymous
So long as your SRa receiver has the same frequency ranges as the LMb transmitter, the LMb transmitter will work with an SRa receiver.

It is possible to combine a Lectrosonics L-Series LMb (B1: 537 to 614 MHz) with a UCR 411A?
Asked by: jose
Yes, as long as is the same block. B1 will cover blocks 21 and 22 so a 411 on those 2 blocks will work with your LMb B1. It will also work with block 23 but block 23 is illegal in the US IDK where you are based but might be available in other countries.
