The design of the SMWB transmitter delivers the advanced technology and features of Digital Hybrid Wireless® in a Lectrosonics belt-pack transmitter at a modest cost. Digital Hybrid Wireless® combines a 24-bit digital audio chain with an analog FM radio link to eliminate a compandor and its artifacts, yet preserve the extended operating range and noise rejection of the finest analog wireless systems. Along with providing peerless audio quality with wide frequency response and dynamic range in Nu Hybrid mode, the technology used in the SMWB transmitter includes compatibility modes for Lectrosonics Mode 3 and IFB receivers.
