Monitoring with the Micron 700 Series

MR700 Monitoring Receiver

• Wide bandwidth audio
• Output drives down to 8 Ohms
• Long battery life
• Fatigue-free long-term monitoring
• Supplied with 16 frequencies
• Switching bandwidths up to 24MHz
• Choice of base-station transmitters

The Monitoring Receiver brings the audio and RF performance benefits of Micron designs to production monitoring, providing stable, fatigue-free listening over long periods for programme presenters, television studio personnel or location crews. Wide-bandwidth audio performance is matched by an ultra-low noise floor, and the design achieves excellent channel selectivity and blocking capacity. This prevents interference from other RF equipment operating in close physical proximity or on a nearby frequency - for example, a presenter wearing the receiver as well as a belt-pack transmitter. Built into a tough, extruded aluminium case, the MR700 features the unique Micron battery compartment with a captive slide-out cover, enabling easy, rapid battery changeovers. Tri-colour LEDs provide continuous information on battery status and received signal strength, and the unit can be switched on when the LEMO plug is inserted, and by means of the top panel On/Off switch.

BS-TX700 Hi-Q Monitoring Transmitter

• A flexible, frequency-synthesized studio quality transmitting system
• Compact, 1U-rack base station
• Two built-in independent transmitters, with single-channel option
• Peak-reading audio input metering at -10 and 0dB
• Transformer-balanced line inputs
• Very high input headroom
• Switchable mains powering from either 120 or 240V supplies

The Micron BS-TX700 Monitoring Transmitter is specifically designed to drive a broadcast-quality monitoring system in a studio, OB or production environment. Available with two fully-synthesized independent transmitters, the system is based on the design techniques used in the TX700 Pocket Transmitter and incorporates the same limiter technology.

Wideband FM modulation is utilised for the highest audio quality, with signal integrity assured by line level transformer-balanced inputs and the transmitters’ generous overload margins. The BS-TX700 is available with an optional output combiner, to deliver the two transmitter outputs as one signal. The system can also be supplied with a single transmitter channel if required.
