Lectrosonics IFBT4-VHF Frequency-Agile Compact IFB Transmitter
A frequency-agile compact IFB transmitter, the Lectrosonics IFBT4-VHF sends cue and program audio to VHF belt-pack receivers on 239 frequencies from 174.100 to 215.750 MHz.
IFB stands for interruptible foldback, the system that feeds talent and crew their cues on broadcast, film, theater, and stage productions. DIP switches on the rear panel set the input for RTS or Clear-Com intercom lines, a dynamic mic, or studio line level, so the transmitter can stand alone or patch straight into an intercom system.
Digital Hybrid Wireless
Digital Hybrid Wireless encodes the audio digitally and sends it over an analog FM link, which gives the range of FM without a compandor and its artifacts. A supersonic pilot tone keeps the receiver muted when the transmitter is off. The transmitter works in Nu Hybrid mode or in IFB mode, at 50 mW.
Build and Power
Microprocessor control keeps turn-on and turn-off free of pops. The output mutes in Tune mode, so scrolling to a new frequency never interferes with other wireless channels. The backlit LCD reads in dim light and in direct sun. The machined aluminum housing runs on 6 to 18 VDC through a locking connector, and the whip antenna locks onto a 50 ohm BNC jack.
