Lectrosonics IFBT4-20 IFB Transmitter (Frequency Block 20) and IFBR1B-A1 Rechargable Receiver Kit
Lectrosonics IFBT4-20 IFB Transmitter (Frequency Block 20)
The IFBT4 from Lectrosonics is a high-quality IFB transmitter designed for applications where long operating range and great audio quality are needed, such as broadcasting, film, and theater. The sleek, simple box can be used as a stand-alone unit, or patched into other widely-used intercom systems. The single XLR input connector is accompanied by four DIP-switches for selecting a mic, line, Clear Com, RTS1, or RTS2 audio source.
The Digital Hybrid Wireless technology allows the system to overcome channel noise by digital encoding and decoding audio in the transmitter and receiver, but sending the encoded signal over an analog FM signal. Due to the FM link being used, the system has all the benefits of traditional FM systems, including high range and resistance to interference, but thanks to the digital technology, the analog compander and artifacts are removed for greater audio quality.
The system is easy to use, featuring a menu-based, microprocessor-controlled system that is navigated with momentary buttons. The backlit LCD is bright and clear for easy reading. The casing is constructed from rugged aluminum to withstand the rigors of professional use, and it is small enough to use in any situation.

Lectrosonics IFBR1B-A1 Receiver
The Lectrosonics IFBR1B is a compact bodypack IFB receiver featuring a removable, rechargeable battery. The receiver is compatible with IFBT4 transmitters, as long as there is frequency band overlap between the components, creating a wireless IFB (interruptible fold back) system to facilitate talent cueing and crew communications in broadcast and motion picture production.
The receiver will run for up to eight hours on the included rechargable LB-50 lithium-ion battery and the unit's LED will change from green to red to warn you when power is low.
The lightweight IFBR1B offers a compact, rugged machined-aluminum chassis with rounded edges, making it comfortable to wear and easy to conceal. A simple power/volume knob and intuitve controls with an LCD screen keep operation simple. 10 presets are available, allowing you to store frequencies in memory, even when the battery is removed, for quick setup on set.
The standard 3.5mm output can drive a wide variety of earbuds, headphones, and induction loops—from 16 to 600 ohms—at substantial volumes. Mono earpieces are automatically accommodated with no loss of audio output or battery life. The included wire belt clip makes it easy to secure the receiver to clothing.
