These PLL controlled systems provide highly information on the operating conditions. stable, selectable frequencies to be generated in Most receivers will display the RF-input level, audio-output increments of 125 kHz. Users may choose from 188 status, current channel number and frequency, and frequencies on USA type models, and 102 frequencies on battery status of the transmitter. AU models.

Advanced Filtering The Sony wireless units all employ Helical, Ceramic and/or SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filters as appropriate. This offers stable reception and superb audio quality, and also enables the unique miniaturization seen in most of the Sony products. Tone Squelch Circuitry AF BA TT GP RF The wireless microphone transmitters also transmit a 32.768 CH GP CH kHz pilot-tone signal along with the audio signal. In the receivers, a squelch circuit is present, and the audio signal BATT is only output when the tone signal has been correctly received. This squelch function is designed to virtually prevent the output of unwanted signals or noise from other signal transmissions in the air, as well as the RF noise and popping Consistent RF Power Output noise that occur when the transmitter is power on or off.
