The T4 IFB Transmitter is comprised of a number of 
functional subsystems, including Audio Input Interface, 
DSP Audio Processor and Pilot Tone, Frequency Syn-
thesizer, Microcontroller, Transmitter, Antenna System 
and Power Supply.  (See block diagram.)
The T4 is designed to operate primarily with the Lectro-
sonics R1 and R1A IFB receivers, and is also capab-
able of operating with the Lectrosonics 100 Series, 200 
Series, 400 Series receivers.  The T4 features micro-
processor control of 256 operating frequencies within 
any one of at least nine UHF frequency bands and the 
944MHz band.
The T4 uses 20 kHz deviation in the IFB and 100 series 
modes for an effi cient use of bandwidth.  The 200 
Series and 400 Series modes use 75kHz bandwidth for 
high signal to noise ratio.  The transmitter circuits are all 
regulated for frequency stability and high audio per-
formance.  The input amplifi er is a discreet differential 
circuit which can be adjusted to allow the use of many 
different input sources with robust overload capability 
without clipping.
Audio Input Interface
The input sensitivity and XLR pin functions can be cus-
tomized using a DIP switch located on the back panel.  
Different combinations of gain and input confi gurations 
are possible without rewiring the mic connector.  Pin 
1 of the XLR input connector is normally connected 
directly to ground but an internal jumper can be moved 
if a fl oating input is desired.
The Audio (+) and (–) are “dry” inputs and can each 
withstand +/- 50 VDC.   
Audio DSP and Noise Reduction
The original Lectrosonics IFB system was designed 
with single band compand ing which is  an audio device 
that processes (compresses) the input signal so that 
the large dynamic ranges of the input signals can be 
transmitted to the receiver without overload or noise. A 
complementary system in the receiver recovers (de-
compresses) the original dynamics of the signal for full 
audio quality. Compression and expansion ratios are 
complementary at 2:1. High frequency pre-emphasis is 
implemented in the transmitter to provide another 10 dB 
signal to noise improvement. Matching de-emphasis is 
provided in all receivers.
The IFBT4 is designed with Audio Digital Signal Proces-
sor algorithms that digitally emulate the original com-
pandor circuits in order to maintain compatability with 
the IFBR1/IFBR1a, 100 Series, and 200 Series receiv-
ers using the same analog FM links.   This same DSP 
circuitry also provides an algorithm compatible with 
the Lectosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless™ 400 Series 
systems and eliminates the need for pre-emphasis and 
de-emphasis.
