DXS-80 specifications

The Linear DXS-80 is a cutting-edge digital wireless intercom system designed for professional applications requiring reliable, high-quality audio communication. As a part of the Linear series, the DXS-80 stands out due to its advanced features and technological innovations, making it suitable for industries such as film, television, event production, and more.

One of the key features of the DXS-80 is its robust digital transmission technology. Utilizing advanced digital signal processing, the system ensures clear audio transmission with minimal latency. This is crucial in environments where timing and clarity are paramount, such as live broadcast or coordinated events.

The DXS-80 operates in the 900 MHz frequency range, which provides greater resistance to interference from other wireless devices. This frequency band enables long-range communication, extending up to 2000 feet in open areas. The system’s ability to maintain a strong connection over significant distances is a valuable asset for productions on large sets or expansive venues.

Another hallmark of the DXS-80 is its flexibility and scalability. The system can support multiple channels, allowing various users to communicate simultaneously without interference. Users can easily expand the network, accommodating growing team sizes or adding additional units as needed. This flexibility makes the DXS-80 an excellent choice for both small productions and large-scale operations.

The design of the DXS-80 emphasizes user-friendliness. The intuitive interface allows for quick adjustments and configurations, ensuring that users can focus on their tasks without getting bogged down by complex setups. Additionally, the lightweight and ergonomic design enhance mobility, allowing users to comfortably wear the system for extended periods.

Battery life is another critical consideration, and the DXS-80 excels with its long-lasting rechargeable batteries. This enables users to operate continuously without worrying about frequent recharging, vital for all-day events.

In conclusion, the Linear DXS-80 represents a blend of advanced technology, user-centric design, and high performance. With its digital transmission capabilities, broad range, scalability, and user-friendly features, it stands out as a leading choice for professionals seeking dependable wireless communication solutions in demanding environments.
