The DCR822 digital receiver provides the highest level of RF and audio performance available with a versatile feature set in a compact design for field and location production. Settings can be made from the front panel with tactile buttons and LCD interface, making the unit ideal for use in portable bag systems and on sound carts. An RF spectrum analyzer and SmartTune are built into the receiver to alleviate interference problems in an increasingly congested RF spectrum.The mechanical design of the receiver fits into the same dimensions as the older UCR411A and combines field-proven features developed over many years of experience in motion picture and television production. To decrease weight, the DCR822 provides a dual channel receiver in one unit powered by 4 AA Lithium batteries or external DC. The receiver is also equipped with both an IR port and microSD card slot for data transfer. The machined aluminum housing and panels are surfaced with a hard-anodized finish with laser etched markings to withstand the rigors of field production.Main Features:Dual independent channels, compact designVector Diversity with 2 RF front ends per channel for superior performance24 bit/48 kHz digital for flawless audioHigh IP3 performance of +15 dBm for tough RF environmentsAnalog and AES3 digital audio outputs4 AA internal batteries or external DC powering optionsOn-board recording via microSDHC cardSpecifications:Receiver:Operating Frequencies (MHz):Model A1/B1: 470.100 – 614.375Model B1/C1: 537.600 – 691.175Frequency Selection Steps: 25 kHzFrequency Response: 25 Hz to 20 kHz (+0/-3 dB)Frequency Stability: 0.001 %Front end bandwidth: 5.5 MHz, @ -3 dBSensitivity:20 dB Sinad: 0.9 uV(-108 dBm), A weighted60 dB Quieting: 1.12 uV (-105 dBm), A weightedAM rejection: >60 dB, 2 uV to 1 VoltModulation acceptance: 85 kHzSpurious rejection: 85 dBThird order intercept: +15 dBmDiversity method: Vector DiversityAntenna inputs: Dual SMA female jacks; 50 Ohm impedanceAudio output: Rear panel 2 TA3M connectors; can drive 600 Ohm, adjustable from -50 to +5 dBu in 1 dB steps (into nominal 10 k bal. loadInput Dynamic Range: 125 dB (with full Tx limiting)Overall Latency (time delay): 1.4 ms with digital source, <2.9 ms with Hybrid TXAudio Test Tone: 1 KHz, -50 to +5 dBu, <1%THDControls:Front Panel:LCD display- Menu/Sel, Pwr/Back, Up/Down Arrow Buttons- SD Card Reader- IR PortRear Panel:Analog/AES audio output jack (2)- External DC input- Battery compartment- USB portExternal Power: Minumum 9 Volts to maximum 17 VDC 2.5 W; 170 mA at 12 VDCBattery Life: 6 hrs. continuous, w/ 4 disposable, 1.5VDC AA Lithium batteries (recommended)Weight: 408 grams with batteries (14.4 oz.)Dimensions: 3.23 wide x 1.23 high x 4.75 deep 82.042 wide x 31.242 high x 120.650 deep mmRecorder:Storage media: microSDHC memory cardFile format: .wav files (BWF)A/D converter: 24-bitSampling rate: 48 kHzRecording modes/Bit rate: 24 bit - 144 kbytes/s per channel (up to 4)Audio Performance:Frequency response: 25Hz to 20 kHz; +0/-3 dBDynamic range: 110 dB (A), before limitingDistortion: < 0.035%Operating temperature range:Celsius: -20 to 50Fahrenheit: -5 to 122
