Sound Devices A20-RX-XLR Dual-Channel Digital Receiver with XLR and 4-Pin Hirose Connectors (470 to 1525 MHz)
Sound Devices A20-RX-XLR Dual-Channel Digital Receiver with XLR and 4-Pin Hirose Connectors (470 to 1525 MHz) Designed for use with the A10-TX and A20-Mini transmitters, the A20-RX-XLR from Sound Devices is a dual-channel digital receiver featuring a powerful feature set that ensures professional-level reliability, even in noisy RF environments. This version includes the A-XLR adapter, which provides XLR audio outputs and 4-pin Hirose powering connections for stand-alone bag use.
SpectraBand technology gives the A20-RX a massive tuning range from 470 to 1525 MHz, allowing for worldwide use, while Advanced Digital True Diversity topology uses two completely independent RF receivers for each channel, providing a total of four receiver circuits to deliver clean reception with fewer dropouts. The system is completely digital, ensuring pristine quality audio at extremely long transmission distances with brick-wall SAW filters to eliminate out-of-band interference. The unit's AutoAssign function automatically scans a tuning band and selects clean, interference-free frequencies for you, saving valuable time on set.
At a Glance
- SpectraBand technology: compatible with the A20-Mini from 470 to 1525 MHz and all tuning ranges of the A10-TX
- Advanced Digital True Diversity topology uses two complete RF receivers for each of the two channels, with four RF receivers in total
