The Lectrosonics SSM Digital Hybrid Wireless Miniature Transmitter (A1: 470.100 to 537.575 MHz) is a miniature Lectrosonic Digital Hybrid Wireless Transmitter with selectable frequencies across a maximum tuning range of 76.7 MHz and has a selectable 25 or 50 mW RF output power. The SSM Hybrid Mini Transmitter can be used in applications where concealment in costuming is required or any other production such as for live stage, theater, houses of worship, reality TV, and more.
The SSM features selectable frequencies in 100 kHz or 25 kHz steps yielding a total of 3,072 available frequencies across three standard frequency blocks. Its lithium-ion battery provides power and sits in a stainless-steel battery door that latches closed and cannot be jarred open accidentally.
The SSM transmitter tunes across a range of over 76 MHz. This tuning range covers three standard Lectrosonics frequency blocks
The transmitter operates from a 3.7V rechargeable battery that will provide about four hours of operation per charge
The factory-supplied battery charger provides a folding NEMA 2-prong plug, and will operate from 100-240 VAC sources. The LED glows red during charging and turns green when the battery is fully charged
The LCD is a numeric-type Liquid Crystal Display with screens for adjusting output power, frequency, audio level, low frequency audio roll-off, and various modes and options
The antenna is a flexible whip made of galvanized steel, permanently attached to the transmitter to prevent damage from heavy use. The IR port is capped with a translucent dome material to broaden the reception angle. The input jack is a rugged 3-pin LEMO connector with a threaded locking sleeve
An infrared sync port on the SSM allows for quick setup with compatible receiver systems. A micro-B USB port makes it possible for firmware updates in the field as advanced features are added in the future
The SSM responds to remote commands for frequency, audio level, sleep modes, and other settings from the RM remote unit or 3rd party smartphone apps
In the Box
Lectrosonics SSM Digital Hybrid Wireless Miniature Transmitter (A1: 470.100 to 537.575 MHz)

Frequency Stability
± 0.002%
Deviation
± 75 kHz max. (Digital Hybrid mode)
Spurious Radiation
60 dB below carrier
Equivalent Input Noise
-120 dBV, A-weighted
Input Level
Nominal 2 to 300 mV, before limiting Greater than 1 V maximum, with limiting
Input Impedance
Mic: 300 or 4.5 kOhms; selectable Line: Greater than 100 kOhms
Input Limiter
DSP controlled, dual envelope "soft" limiter with greater than 30 dB range
Gain Control Range
44 dB; digital control
Modulation Indicators
Dual bicolor LEDs indicate modulation of -20, -10, 0 and +10 dB referenced to full modulation
Audio Performance

Signal to Noise Ratio
At Receiver Output: SmartNR Off: No limiting 103.5, w/limiting 108.0 SmartNR Normal: No limiting 107.0, w/limiting 111.5 SmartNR Full: No limiting 108.5, w/limiting 113.0
Note: The dual envelope "soft" limiter provides the handling of transients using variable attack and release time constants. Once activated, the limiter compresses 30+ dB of transmitter input range into 4.5 dB of receiver output range, thus reducing the measured figure for SNR without limiting by 4.5 dB
Controls
Side-panel membrane switches with LCD interface for power on/off and all setup and configuration controls Responds to remote commands from smartphones with 3rd party app.
