dual-channel UHF wireless receiver. It features
wide switching RF bandwidth, a high-contrast
OLED display and infrared synchronization
between transmitter and receiver. The two
detachable antennas can be rotated 360° for
better reception. The receiver's output can be
toggled between mono and stereo modes. The
low-cut function on the receiver minimizes low-
frequency rumble.
