The M2Ra employs advanced antenna diversity switching during digital packet headers for seamless audio. The receiver uses digital modulation and covers a wide range UHF frequencies - A1B1, or B1C1. The headphone jack is fed from a high-quality stereo amplifier with 250 mW available to drive even inefficient headphones or earphones to sufficient levels for stage performance or other noisy environments. The receiver can select from stereo, mono from left or right channels only, or mono from both channels, giving the unit flexibility in terms of application as an IEM or IFB receiver. An intuitive interface and high resolution, color LCD on the unit provide performing artists and audio professionals alike with a comfortable and confident user experience. The M2Ra also employs 2-way IR sync, so can data from the receiver can be sent to an M2T transmitter and thus onto Wireless DesignerTM Software. This way, frequency planning and coordination can be done quickly and confidently with on-site RF information. FlexListTM Additionally, the M2Ra includes a FlexListTM mode, where up to 24 mixes can be accessed by name. This feature enables a user to quickly find and listen to any of the feeds on a stage or set. A FlexList mix is a profile made up of the channel name, frequency, mixer settings and limiter settings. The mix is easily added to the FlexList via the M2Ra IR port, as synced from an M2T or DCHT and stored until cleared by the user. The M2Ra allows the user to scroll through the mixes, making listening and troubleshooting easy and efficient. Smart Tuning (SmartTuneTM) A major problem facing wireless users is finding clear operating frequencies, especially in RF saturated environments. SmartTuneTM overcomes this problem by automatically scanning all the frequencies available in the receiver's frequency range and tuning the receiver to the frequency with the lowest RF interference, significantly reducing setup time. NOTE: Some regions have certain frequency restrictions. Depending on LOCALE selection, the SmartTune and Scan frequency ranges are: A1B1: NA: 470.100 - 607.950 MHz EU: 470.100 - 614.375 MHz AU: 520.000 - 614.375 MHz JA: 470.150 - 614.375 MHz B1C1: EU: 537.600 - 691.175 MHz AU: 537.600 - 691.175 MHz JA: 537.600 - 691.175 MHz RF Front-End with Tracking Filter A wide tuning range is helpful in finding clear frequencies for operation, however, it also allows a greater range of interfering frequencies to enter the receiver. The UHF frequency band, where almost all wireless microphone systems operate, is heavily populated by high power TV transmissions. The TV signals are immensely more powerful than a wireless microphone or IEM transmitter signal and will enter the receiver even when they are on significantly different frequencies than the wireless system. This powerful energy appears as noise to the receiver, and has the same effect as the noise that occurs with extreme operating range of the wireless system (noise bursts and dropouts). To alleviate this interference, front-end filters are needed in the receiver to suppress RF energy below and above the operating frequency. The M2Ra receiver employs a selective frequency, tracking filter in the front-end section (the first circuit stage following the antenna). As the operating frequency is changed, the filters re-tune into six different "zones" depending on the selected carrier frequency. BLOCK 470 MHz BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK 614 MHz Encryption When transmitting audio, there are situations where privacy is essential, such as during professional sporting events, in court rooms or private meetings. For instances where your audio transmission needs to be kept secure, without sacrificing audio quality, Lectrosonics implements AES256 encryption in our digital wireless systems. High entropy encryption keys are first created by one of the units in the system. The key is then synced with another encryption-capable unit, via the IR port. The audio will be encrypted and can only be decoded if both the transmitter and receivers have the matching encryption key. If you are trying to transmit an audio signal and keys do not match, all that will be heard is silence. The M2Ra gives the option of Encrypted (DCHX, D2 or HDM modes) with AES 256-CTR, or non-encrypted (Duet mode) operation under one firmware version. Four different key management policies are available for different applications and workflows. 4 LECTROSONICS, INC.

However, it is always good practice to turn off P48 power on any device connected to this unit. Belt clip mounting sockets When on Main Screen, UP Button will turn LEDs on and DOWN Button will turn LEDs off. USB port Rio Rancho, NM Battery compartment door 5 M2Ra Battery Status LED When the battery status LED on the keypad glows green the batteries are adequate. The color changes to red at a midpoint during the runtime. When the LED begins to blink red, only a few minutes remain. The exact point at which the LED turns red will vary with battery brand and condition, temperature and power consumption. The LED is intended to simply catch your attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining time. A weak battery will sometimes cause the LED to glow green immediately after the transmitter is turned on, but it will soon discharge to the point where the LED will turn red or the unit will turn off completely. RF Link LED When a valid RF signal from a transmitter is received, this LED will light up blue. On/Off and Volume Knob Turns unit on or off and controls headphone audio level. IR (infrared) Port Settings, including frequency, name, limiter, mix mode, Flexlist, etc. can be transferred between transmitter and receiver or receiver and receiver (M2Ra to M2Ra).
