Lectrosonics UCR411a

The Lectrosonics UCR411a is a compact Digital Hybrid Wireless receiver, a long-time favourite on film and TV sets. It's small and tough enough for a bag or a camera, and just as at home on a sound cart or in a rack with a multi-coupler.

Every setting is made from the front panel with a clear LCD, including frequency, audio level and compatibility mode. The UCR411a tunes 256 frequencies across a 25.5 MHz block in 100 kHz steps, and its auto-tracking front-end filters follow the selected frequency to help reject interference. SmartDiversity and SmartSquelch help keep the audio clean as the talent moves around the set.

It works with all Lectrosonics 400 Series and Digital Hybrid transmitters, including the SSM, and DSP compatibility modes let it receive older analog transmitters. Power it with internal 9V batteries for a bag rig, or with external DC on a cart. Rent it in Montréal for reliable wireless lav audio on a shoot.
