Lectrosonics SMWB & SMDWB Transmitters
Lectrosonics has introduced two new transmitters as the latest generation in the Digital
Hybrid Wireless SM Series product line. These are the “wide band” SMWB (single AA battery)
and SMDWB (dual AA battery) transmitters. The two new transmitters have a similar look and
feel to previous SM Series units but with several new features, including the ability to either
act as a transmitter or as a body-worn recorder, as well as wideband tuning.
As with current Lectrosonics transmitters, the SMWB and SMDWB units tune across three
standard frequency blocks and come in several frequency ranges: A1 (470 – 537 MHz) and B1
(537 – 614 MHz) for the North American and export markets, and B2 (563 – 640 MHz) and C1
(614 – 691 MHz) for certain export markets. RF power for these models is selectable at 100, 50,
or 25 mW (North American version) and 50 or 25 mW (certain export markets). The SMWB and
SMDWB feature the standard TA5 connector with servo-bias mic input.
The new units can be configured either as a transmitter or a recorder, with files stored on
Micro SD card memory, allowing use as body worn recorders. Audio files are recorded in the
Broadcast Wave (.WAV) format at a 24-bit, 44.1 kHz sample rate.

IK Multimedia T-RackS
5 Mixing & Mastering
System
IK Multimedia has released the T-RackS 5 mix-
ing and mastering system for Mac and PC.
In T-RackS 5, there are now 38 modules,
including four new additions to the collec-
tion. The Master Match plug-in automati-
cally matches the sonic fingerprint of up to
three reference tracks and then applies that
sound to a user’s mix. The Dyna-Mu vari-mu
compressor/limiter, thanks to its transform-
ers and all-tube modeled heart, can impart
an audible effect that glues all the parts of
a mix together. The EQual digital equalizer
is a 10-band parametric equalizer with very
transparent sound, a full-screen resizable in-
terface, and a wide array of filter shapes that
replicate the typical curves of iconic British
and American analog EQs.
Developed as an “all-in-one” solution,
the new ONE mastering processor has
been designed for easy, streamlined, and
straightforward audio finalization. It includes
an EQ, compressor, analog harmonic exciter,
low-end enhancer, and limiter that are de-
signed to let anyone achieve professional
quality results.
