Avlex Releases MIPRO ACT-82a Dual Channel Encrypted Digital Diversity Receiver

The MIPRO ACT-82a Dual Channel Encrypted Digital Diversity Receiver

Avlex Corporation has introduced the MIPRO ACT-82a dual channel encrypted digital diversity receiver. Building upon the company's ACT-82 digital wireless microphone system, the new ACT-82a offers expanded 120MHz bandwidth, second-generation DSP technology, and additional new technologies. The ACT-82a is designed for use in studio, stage and music performances as well as military, courtroom, conference, healthcare, boardroom, and broadcast applications.

Featuring 24-bit/44.1kHz audio quality, the new ACT-82a is a two--channel, full digital system with constant transmission quality whose signal-to-noise ratio will not deteriorate. With its carrier frequency range of UHF 482 -- 602MHz and expanded 120MHz bandwidth, the ACT-82a offers greater functionality for increased preset compatible systems. The system's latency is less than 2.9ms while THD (total harmonic distortion) is less than or equal to 0.04% @ 1kHz. Audio frequency response extends from 20 Hz -- 20 kHz.

Being a full digital system, the ACT-82a's signal transmission offers superior resistance to interference and, with its second generation DSP technology, provides enhanced signal stability designed to minimize the possibility of dropouts. MIPRO's DigitnamicPlus technology eliminates compander noise, thus assuring the integrity of the original sound. Also, the system's integrated SmartEQ preset and user-defined microphone capsule equalization provides faithful reproduction that can be tailored to an artist's preferences. The system's proprietary A/D converter provides a true dynamic range of 115dB (A) to eliminate saturation or distortion at higher frequencies under high SPL input conditions.

The product is also an outstanding wireless microphone system for the installed sound professional, the company says. To ensure privacy in governmental, civic, or corporate environments where confidentiality is frequently a critical concern, it employs proprietary 128-bit encryption guaranteed to secure audio transmission, preventing unauthorized listening.

The system incorporates MIPRO's Autoscan and Automatic Channel Targeting (ACT) technology for fast channel setup. It also provides a word clock in/out facility with an activity indicator to ensure correct synchronization with other digital equipment.

The ACT-82a provides bias voltage for MIPRO antenna booster systems and, with the optionally available MIPRO RCS2.Net software, real-time network adjustments and monitoring of multiple, large scale systems is available.

MIPRO offers two transmitter packages for use with the new ACT-82a. For handheld applications, the ACT-8Ha encrypted digital handheld transmitter offers a rugged, ergonomically designed magnesium alloy housing, 120MHz bandwidth, 128-bit digital encryption, a backlit LCD display, ACT technology that syncs the transmitter and receiver frequency automatically, plus a variety of microphone capsules.

For those who prefer a belt-pack transmitter, MIPRO offers the ACT-8Ta encrypted digital body-pack transmitter. Currently the industry's smallest and lightest digital belt-pack transmitter, the company says, the system provides 120MHz bandwidth, 128-bit digital encryption, ACT technology that syncs the transmitter and receiver frequency automatically, a backlit LCD display, and user-friendly menu buttons with user-selectable lockout capability among its many features.

Fred Canning, national sales manager for Avlex Corporation, says, "We are excited to be showing this wideband wireless system at InfoComm. The ACT-82a broadband digital wireless microphone systems are the ideal solution to address the limited frequency bandwidth conditions that are present in many US markets. With the FCC rethinking and reallocating the frequency spectrum, it is increasingly difficult for professional users of wireless microphone systems to obtain the number of channels they need in today's crowded RF environments. With the receivers' 120 MHz bandwidth coupled with MIPRO's 24-bit True Digital technology, I'm confident audio professionals requiring secure wireless will find these new capabilities and the rich feature set of the ACT82a a compelling value."

The product will be available in the third quarter of 2011.
