About Digital Hybrid Wireless
®
US Patent 7,225,135
All wireless links suer from channel noise to some
degree, and all wireless microphone systems seek to
minimize the impact of that noise on the desired sig-
nal. Conventional analog systems use compandors for
enhanced dynamic range, at the cost of subtle artifacts
(known as “pumping” and “breathing”). Wholly digital
systems defeat the noise by sending the audio informa-
tion in digital form, however, it is often at the cost of one
or more issues regarding power, bandwidth, operating
range and resistance to interference.
The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless system over-
comes 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
but a technique which can be accomplished only in the
digital domain.
Since the RF link between transmitter and receiver is FM,
channel noise will increase gradually with increased op-
erating range and weakened signal conditions; however,
the Digital Hybrid Wireless system handles this situa-
tion elegantly with barely audible audio artifacts as the
receiver approaches its squelch threshold.
In contrast, a purely digital system tends to drop the
audio suddenly during brief dropouts and weak signal
conditions. The Digital Hybrid Wireless system simply
encodes the signal to use a noisy channel as eciently
and robustly as possible, yielding audio performance
that rivals that of purely digital systems, without the
power, noise and bandwidth problems inherent in digital
transmission. Because it uses an analog FM link, Digital
Hybrid Wireless enjoys all the benets of conventional
FM wireless systems, such as excellent range, ecient
use of RF spectrum, and long battery life.
Introduction
Three Block Tuning Range
The SSM transmitter tunes across a range of over 76
MHz. This tuning range covers three standard Lectroson-
ics frequency blocks.
TUNING RANGE
BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK
Four tuning ranges are available covering standard
blocks as follows:
Range Blocks Covered Freq. MHz
A1 470, 19, 20 470.1 - 537.5
B1 21, 22, 23 537.6 - 614.3
B2 22, 23, 24 563.2 - 639.9
C1 24, 25, 26 614.4 - 691.1
C2 25, 26, 27 640.0 - 716.7
606* 606.0 - 631.5
*See Down Button Menu for more information
**Export Only (not available in US or Canada)
To simplify backward compatibility with earlier Digital Hy-
brid Wireless®equipment, block numbers are presented
along with frequencies in LCD screens.
About Frequency Blocks
A 25.6 MHz band of frequencies, referred to as a Block,
came about with the design of the rst frequency tunable
Lectrosonics wireless products. These products provided
two 16-position rotary switches to select frequencies
as shown in the illustration below. A logical method of
identifying the switch positions was using 16 character
hexadecimal numbering. This naming and numbering
convention is still used today.
The 16 switch positions are numbered 0(zero) through
F, presented in a two-character designation such as B8,
5C, AD, 74, etc. The rst character indicates the position
of the left hand switch and the second character indi-
cates the position of the right hand switch. This designa-
tor is commonly called a “hex code.”

On older transmitter models, the left hand switch
makes steps in 1.6 MHz increments, the right
hand switch in 100 kHz increments.
Each block spans a 25.6 MHz band. A simple formula is
used to name the blocks according to the lowest fre-
quency in each one. For example, the block starting at
512 MHz is named Block 20, since 25.6 times 20 equals
512.

Battery Charging
The transmitter operates from a 3.6 V rechargeable bat-
tery that will provide about six hours of operation per
charge. Battery life can be monitored from the timer func-
tion built into current Lectrosonics receivers.
The factory supplied battery charger kit* provides a fold-
ing NEMA 2-prong plug on the charger, and will operate
from 100-240 VAC sources. The LED glows red dur-
ing charging and turns green when the battery is fully
charged. The kit includes a Euro plug adapter and vehicle
auxiliary power adapter cord.
* SSM/E01 units do not ship with a charger. Order
ZS-SSM/E01 kit (4 dierent kits for dierent frequency
bands), which includes the charger.

Controls and Functions
Modulation LEDs
Proper input gain adjustment is critical to ensure the best
audio quality. Two bicolor LEDs will glow either red or
green to accurately indicate modulation levels. The input
circuitry includes a wide range DSP controlled limiter to
prevent distortion at high input levels.
It is important to set the gain (audio level) high enough
to achieve full modulation during louder peaks in the
audio. The limiter can handle over 30 dB of level above
full modulation, so with an optimum setting, the LEDs will
ash red during use. If the LEDs never ash red, the gain
is too low. In the table below, +0 dB indicates full modu-
lation.
Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED
Less than -20 dB O O
-20 dB to -10 dB Green O
-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green
+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green
Greater than +10 db Red Red
LCD Screen
The LCD is a numeric-type Liquid Crystal Display with
screens for adjusting output power, frequency, audio
level, low frequency audio roll-o and various modes and
options. The transmitter can be powered up with or with-
out the RF output turned on. A brief press on the power
button turns the unit on in a Standby Mode with the out-
put turned o to allow adjustments to be made without
interfering with other wireless systems in the vicinity.
BATT LED
This LED glows green when the battery is good. The
color changes to red when there is only a few minutes of
operation left. The LED will blink briey, just before the
unit powers down.
The exact point at which the LED turns red will vary with
battery brand and condition, temperature and current
drain. The LED is intended to simply catch your attention,
not to be an exact indicator of remaining time.
AUDIO Button
The AUDIO button is used to adjust the audio output
level and low frequency roll-o. Each press of the button
will toggle between the two settings.
FREQ Button
The FREQ Button displays the selected operating
frequency and toggles the LCD between displaying
the actual operating frequency in MHz and a two-digit
hexadecimal number that corresponds to the equivalent
Lectrosonics Frequency Switch Setting.
Power Button
Turns the unit on and o. A brief press turns power on
in a Standby Mode to make settings without interfering
with other wireless systems in the vicinity. Pressing and
holding the button until a counter on the LCD completes
a sequence turns the power on with the RF output turned
on. Pressing and holding for the duration of a countdown
turns the unit o.
UP and DOWN Arrow Buttons
The Up and Down arrow buttons are used to select the
values on the various setup screens and to lock out the
control panel.
Turning LEDs ON and OFF
These arrow keys also turn the LEDs on and o. With no
other button pressed, the UP arrow turns the LEDs on
and the DOWN arrow turns them o. When the LEDs turn
red, the LCD will display a reminder every few seconds.

Operating Instructions
Powering On in Operating Mode
Press and hold the Power Button for several seconds
until a counter on the LCD progresses from 1 through
3, followed by a display of the model, rmware version,
frequency block and compatibility mode.
When you release the button, the unit will be operational
with the RF output turned on and the Main Window dis-
played.
Powering On in Standby Mode
A brief press of the Power Button , releasing it before
the counter has reached 3, will turn the unit on with the
RF output turned o. The LCD will display a reminder
that the RF output of the transmitter is turned o.
In this Standby Mode the frequency can be browsed
to make adjustments without the risk of interfering with
other wireless systems nearby.
After adjustments are made, press the power button
again to turn the unit o.
Powering O
Holding the Power Button in and waiting for the
completion of the countdown from 3 to 1 will turn the
power o.
If the power button is released before the countdown is
completed, the unit will remain turned on and the LCD
will return to the same screen or menu that was dis-
played previously.
Setup Screens
Two dierent setup menus are accessed by holding
either the UP or DOWN arrow button while powering the
unit on. See the following page (Setup Screens) for a
listing of the menu items and descriptions.
Screens Used in Normal Operation
When the transmitter is turned on with the RF output on,
the LCD will display the frequency, audio gain or LF roll-
o point.
Audio gain is expressed in dB.
Frequency is displayed in one of two ways:
Frequency expressed in MHz
Standard
frequency
block (22)
Frequency
in hex
code (C8)
Oset in
MHz (.75)
LF roll-o is expressed in Hz.
To make changes to the settings, press either button to
display the desired screen, then use the UP and DOWN
arrows to select the value. The changes take eect im-
mediately when you release the buttons.
Block 470/19 Frequency Overlap
Frequencies 486.400 - 495.600 Overlap in Blocks 470 and 19
Block 470 and block 19 overlap each other in the frequen-
cy range from 486.400 to 495.600 MHz. Since block 470
starts at a lower frequency than block 19, the hex codes
(and pilot tones) will not match even though the frequen-
cies are the same in the overlap zone. When using a
transmitter on the A1 band with a block 19 receiver,
be sure the transmitter is set to block 19 and check the
hex code on the receiver to make sure it matches the
transmitter.
Call the factory if you have questions about this issue

Setup Steps
The setup menus are accessed by holding either the
UP or DOWN arrow while powering the unit on. Refer
to Setup Screens on the next page for details of each
setup parameter.
The following list outlines the steps necessary to set up
the transmitter for normal use.
1) Install a charged battery.
2) Set the compatibility mode to match the receiver
to be used.
3)Adjust the step size and frequency to match the
receiver. The frequency is normally determined us-
ing the receiver to identify one within clear operat-
ing spectrum. Refer to the receiver instructions for
details on using features such as scanning.
NOTE: Some Lectrosonics receivers include an
IR (infrared) port to transfer settings from the
receiver to the transmitter. Refer to the section
on IR (infrared) Sync for details.
4)Connect the microphone or audio source to be
used. Select the correct input conguration.
5)Adjust the input gain. Refer to Adjusting the
Input Gain for details.
6)Turn on the receiver and verify that solid RF and
audio signals are present (see receiver manual).
Locking the Controls
The rmware version is displayed briey when powering
up the transmitter.
For rmware versions 1.06 and lower:
Lock the controls by holding the UP and DOWN arrows
until a count displayed on the LCD is completed and Loc
appears on the LCD. To unlock the controls, remove the
battery.
For rmware versions 1.07 and higher:
Lock the controls by holding the UP and DOWN arrows
until a count displayed on the LCD is completed and Loc
appears on the LCD. To unlock the controls, hold the UP
and DOWN arrows until a count on the LCD is completed
and unloc appears on the LCD. Removing the battery
does not unlock the controls.
Adjusting the Input Gain
The two bicolor Modulation LEDs on the control panel
provide a visual indication of the audio signal level enter-
ing the transmitter. The LEDs will glow either red or green
to indicate modulation levels as shown in the following
table.
Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED
Less than -20 dB O O
-20 dB to -10 dB Green O
-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green
+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green
Greater than +10 dB Red Red
NOTE: Full modulation is achieved at 0 dB,
when the “-20” LED first turns red. The limiter
can cleanly handle peaks up to 30 dB above this
point.
It is best to go through the following procedure with the
transmitter in the standby mode so that no audio will
enter the sound system or recorder during adjustment.
1) With a charged battery in the transmitter, power the
unit on in the standby mode (see previous section
Powering On in Standby Mode).
2) Press and hold the AUDIO button with Aud and a
numeral on the display (e.g. Aud 22).
3) Prepare the signal source. Position a microphone
the way it will be used in actual operation and have
the user speak or sing at the loudest level that oc-
cur during use, or set the output level of the instru-
ment or audio device to the maximum level that will
be used.
4) Use the and arrow buttons to adjust the gain
until the –10 dB glows green and the –20 dB LED
starts to icker red during the loudest peaks in the
audio.
5) Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can
be sent through the sound system for overall level
adjustments, monitor settings, etc.
6) If the audio output level of the receiver is too high
or low, use only the controls on the receiver to
make adjustments. Unless the microphone or its
position changes, or a dierent instrument is being
used, leave the transmitter gain adjustment set ac-
cording to these instructions. Use the audio output
level control on the receiver to make adjustments
for the desired level being delivered to the con-
nected mixer, recorder, etc.

IR (infrared) Sync
An IR (infrared) link between an associated receiver and
the transmitter can be used to shorten setup time and
ensure that the correct settings in the transmitter are
made. The dome on the side panel of the transmitter
is the port used for the IR link. The receiver is normally
used to identify a clear operating frequency. Once step
size, frequency and compatibility mode are set in the
receiver, the settings can be sent to the transmitter via
this IR link.
IR port
Place the transmitter close to the IR enabled receiver
with the ports facing each other within a foot or two
apart. Send the settings with the trigger on the receiver.
If the settings are successfully transferred, a conrmation
message will appear on the transmitter LCD.

LectroRM is a mobile application for iOS and Android
smart phone operating systems. Its purpose is to make
changes to the settings on select Lectrosonics transmit-
ters by delivering encoded audio tones to the micro-
phone attached to the transmitter. When the tone enters
the transmitter, it is decoded to make a change to a
variety of dierent settings such as input gain, frequency
and a number of others.
The app was released by New Endian, LLC in September
2011. The app is available for download and sells for $25
on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
The settings and values that can be changed vary from
one transmitter model to another. The complete list of
available tones in the app is as follows:
• Input gain
• Frequency
• Sleep Mode
• Panel LOCK/UNLOCK
• RF output power
• Low frequency audio roll-o
• LEDs ON/OFF
The user interface involves selecting the audio sequence
related to the desired change. Each version has an inter-
face for selecting the desired setting and the desired op-
tion for that setting. Each version also has a mechanism
to prevent accidental activation of the tone.
iOS
The iPhone version keeps each available setting on a
separate page with the list of options for that setting.
On iOS, the “Activate” toggle switch must be enabled
to show the button which will then activate the tone.
The iOS version’s default orientation is upside-down
but can be configured to orient right-side up. The
purpose for this is to orient the phone’s speaker, which
is at the bottom of the device, closer to the transmitter
microphone.
Android
The Android version keeps all settings on the same page
and allows the user to toggle between the activation
buttons for each setting. The activation button must be
pressed and held to activate the tone. The Android ver-
sion also allows users to keep a congurable list of full
sets of settings.
Activation
For a transmitter to respond to remote control audio
tones, the transmitter must meet certain requirements:
• The transmitter must be turned on.
• The transmitter must have rmware version
1.5 or later for Audio, Frequency, Sleep and Lock
changes.
• The transmitter microphone must be within
range.
• The remote control function must be enabled on
the transmitter.

Service and Repair
If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment
needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnect-
ing cables.
We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop
attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connec-
tion, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once
set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment.
There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.
LECTROSONICS’ Service Department is equipped and staed to quickly repair your equipment. In warranty repairs
are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest
at rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and eort to determine what is wrong as it does
to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone
for out-of-warranty repairs.
Returning Units for Repair
For timely service, please follow the steps below:
A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without rst contacting us by e-mail or by phone. We need
to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a
phone number where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time).
B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed
your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly
shown on the outside of the shipping container.
C.Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with
the proper packing materials. UPS or FEDEX is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be
“double-boxed” for safe transport.
D.We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or dam-
age to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
