I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
IFBT2.0
Dual-channel UHF IFB rack transmitter
Dual-channel UHF IFB rack transmitter
Two independent UHF IFB transmitters in a half-rack chassis, with Dante, AES3, analogue, Clear-Com and RTS inputs plus Wireless Designer control.
The Lectrosonics IFBT2.0 is a dual-channel UHF IFB base station for broadcast studios, production sound carts and point-to-point audio links. Two independent transmitters occupy half a rack, allowing four channels in 1RU when two units are paired.
Each channel offers selectable RF power and a circulator/isolator intended to reduce intermodulation at the transmitter output. Menu-selectable analogue mic/line, Clear-Com, RTS, AES3 and Dante inputs combine with Ethernet and USB-C connectivity for setup, monitoring, frequency coordination and firmware updates through Wireless Designer.
