Introduction
The concept behind a “true diversity” wireless system is that a single chassis houses two discrete receivers (called “channel A” and “channel B”) instead of one, with both tuned to the same frequency but with each using an independent antenna. A built-in computer chip then continu- ously scans the two receivers and determines which one has the clear- est and strongest reception, automatically (and silently) switching to that channel. This allows you to maintain the wireless communication link over a much broader area range than would be allowed by a single receiver and also virtually eliminates interference and phase cancella- tion problems. In addition, our special circuitry, which utilizes the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band, delivers the highest-quality sound available in any wireless system. Finally, the provision of dbx® noise reduction* produces crystal-clear sound with minimized background noise and hiss. Your UHF Synthesized True Diversity System may also optionally include a DA-5L UHF Antenna Distribution Amplifier. For more information on this device, see pages 28 - 33.
