The UM500 belt-pack transmitter implements the latest digital/analog hybrid technique in a classic Lectro belt-pack transmitter. A 5-pin input jack provides taps for low impedance dynamic mics, electret lavalier mics with positive or negative bias and line level inputs. Input gain is adjustable over a 43 dB range to perfectly match the audio input level for optimum modulation, minimum distortion and maximum signal to noise ratio. Input levels are accurately indicated by two LEDs on the control panel.

The UM500 is powered by a single 9 V battery and provides a full 50mW output for extended operating range. The housing and belt-clip are machined aluminum, powder coated and laser engraved for ruggedness and legibility.

Digital Hybrid Wireless™ is a revolutionary new design that combines digital audio with an analog FM radio link to provide outstanding audio quality and the extended operating range of the finest analog systems.

The design overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog compandor. Instead, it is a technique which can be accomplished only in the digital domain, even though the audio inputs and outputs are analog signals. The process eliminates a compandor and its artifacts.
