New Generation MICRON Explorers Launched

Audio Engineering has developed new MICRON Explorer 100 Series Radio Microphones with extra features and LCD displays. The legendary MICRON range of Radio Microphones has been extended with two new members of the Explorer 100 Series. The new body worn TX700B Transmitter and SDR550 Small true Diversity Receiver feature an LCD for easy setting of frequency, Pilot Tone and a signal-level Squelch facility. The new Explorers offer different methods of frequency selection over a 32MHz band to suit each customer: 1. Continuous coverage in 25KHz steps, 2. Pre-set channels chosen to give minimum inter-modulation interference in multi-channel use, 3. Up to 100 user-defined pre-set frequencies, 4. Alternatively, as a factory option, a group of up to 16 fixed customer-defined channels. The new products retain the usual MICRON features of bullet-proof microphone input limiter, MICRON companding system, transmitter battery warning, solid mechanical construction and easy, reliable battery management. A full range of high quality cables, antennas and accessories is available. The new TX700B and SDR550 are able to operate at UHF in 32MHz bands, anywhere from 450 to 865 MHz.

Did you know we still manufacture VHF?

In this crowded and uncertain UHF environment VHF is a viable option. Micron has been making broadcast quality VHF equipment since 1970, and still do. Our VHF receivers have very selective front-ends which prevents much of the interference that affects budget VHF equipment. It is also ideal for sending line output back to cameras where transmitters need to operate right next to receivers. Using UHF in both directions would potentially impair the operation of the receiver but by using UHF/VHF the two operate without interference

Product Spotlight: Double Receiver - MDR772

The Micron MDR772 is a sophisticated but simple-to-operate dual-diversity receiver designed for TV studio, OB and conference venues applications. MDR772 combines two independent audio channels into a single 1U 19” rack-mount unit with each channel’s diversity receiver switchable in 25kHz steps over a range of up to 32MHz at UHF. A VHF version is also available. The frequencies may be set using the 8 character LED displays, which also give warning of low transmitter battery state. The MDR772 has twin LED column displays showing received signal strength, diversity operation and audio level for each receiver. A user-accessible pre-set squelch control is provided to allow setting of the RF mute levels if necessary. It may be powered from mains or from 12VDC via a 4-pin XLR socket. Micron Antenna Combining/Distribution or Bandmaster antenna systems can be used as a hub to build an economical multi-channel system employing number of MDR772 receiving systems in a 19in rack.
