4-channel Digital Wireless System
Rio Rancho, NM, USA 3
Introduction
The D4 digital 4-channel wireless system was de-
signed as a special purpose system for location pro-
duction in film and television.
A typical application for this system is in television
production as part of what is commonly called a “bag
system.” A portable mixer and several wireless mi-
crophone receivers are carried in an over-shoulder
carrying case. The D4T transmitter is connected to the
outputs of the mixer to transmit up to four audio chan-
nels to one or more D4R receivers mounted on video
cameras.
The system is designed for line level analog audio sig-
nals and AES/EBU digital audio signals and can be set
up as a 2-channel or 4-channel system with options
that provide:
• Digitalin/Digitalout
• Digitalin/Analogout
• Analogin/Digitalout
• Analogin/Analogout
In the 4-channel mode, the D4 system operates on
one of four 4 MHz channels in the 902 to 928 MHz
band. Each channel carries four separate audio
signals, digitally multiplexed on a common carrier. D4
systems can be run simultaneously on all four chan-
nels across the 902 to 928 MHz band to provide a total
of 16 channels.

The audio quality is suitable for any professional ap-
plication in film, television and live sound. 48 kHz/24-
bit audio, ruler-flat 20-20000 Hz frequency response,
ultra-low distortion and high dynamic range assure
excellent audio reproduction.
The LCD interface makes setup simple and straight-
forward. Any external power source in the 9 to 16 Volt
range may be used.
Housings and panels are machined aluminum with
electrostatic powder coated and anodized finishes and
laser etched marking for durability.
