The Lectrosonics DSQD packs four wideband receivers, with analog XLR and Dante digital outputs, into a compact, half-rack chassis that fits into a cart or even a bag. Part of the D-Squared Series and powered by 4th generation Lectrosonics digital technology, the unit delivers the company's high-standards of reliability, flexibility, and studio-quality audio to professionals in TV, broadcast, and film, as well as houses of worship, theater, and concert venues.

Audio fidelity is outstanding with a flat 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, wide dynamic range, 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio encoding, digital transmission, and ultra-low latency. The DSQD tunes continuously across the extended UHF band from 470 to 608 MHz. It features tracking filters that stay centered on the selected frequency, ensuring excellent RF performance even in difficult environments. Three selectable diversity modes can be employed, depending on the needs of the application. The DSQD is optimized for the DBu bodypack and DHu handheld digital transmitters, but is also backward-compatible with any Digital Hybrid wireless transmitter. Three levels of AES 256-CTR encryption are available when using digital transmitters.

The streamlined menu structure makes the unit easy to use and quick to set up with auto-scan and two-way IR sync. A large, high-resolution backlit LCD and large membrane switches provide an intuitive interface that is highly visible in daylight or dimly lit conditions. The DSQD can be programmed and monitored over its USB or Ethernet connections using the Wireless Designer software for Mac/Windows (free download available separately). The software allows for offline full-system frequency coordination, greatly reducing setup time.

Antenna ports on the rear panel accept input from remote antennas. The antenna "loop-thru" cascade outputs use an internal multi-coupler, enabling you to run multiple receivers from a single pair of antennas without the need for additional components. The DSQD includes half the rack hardware needed to mount two units together, yielding 8 channels in 1RU. If you're rackmounting only a single DSQD, the RMPM2T-1 mounting kit (available separately) is required.

The DSQD is backward compatible with any Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitters including the SM Series, LT, HM Series, SSM, HH Series, UM400, UM400a, LM Series, MM Series, and WM. It can also pick up channels from an M2T duet transmitter or a DCHT portable stereo transmitter.

• 1.4 ms latency, transmitter input to analog output, using a digital transmitter
• <2.9 ms latency, transmitter input to analog output, using any Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitter
• THD+N of 0.05% at 1 kHz, -10 dBFS
• 108 dB of dynamic range

Switched: The receiver selects the antenna with the best signal. In this mode, there are four receivers available.

Ratio: Two receiver channels can be paired as one receiver. Both channels are set on the same frequency. One receiver in the pair is fixed on Antenna A, while the other receiver is fixed on Antenna B. The DSQD automatically uses whichever receiver’s RF signal quality is better.

Frequency: Two receiver channels are paired as one receiver. Each channel is set to a different frequency. The DSQD automatically uses whichever receiver’s RF signal quality is better.

Standard: This is the highest level of security. The receiver tracks the number of keys generated and the number of times each key is transferred. Once a Standard key has been transferred 256 times, the software alerts you that a new key must be created.

Shared: There are an unlimited number of shared keys available. Once generated by the DSQD and transferred to the transmitter, the encryption key is available to be shared (synced) by the transmitter with other transmitters/receivers via the IR port.

Universal: This is the most convenient encryption option available. All encryption-capable Lectrosonics transmitters and receivers contain the Universal Key. The key does not have to be generated by the DSQD. Simply set a Lectrosonics encryption-capable transmitter and the DSQD to Universal, and the encryption is in place.

The DSQD has a bidirectional IrDA interface that allows quick syncing of settings and encryption keys to transmitters with the push of a button.

On the home screen, the high-resolution color display shows activity for all four channels including operating frequencies, RF levels with 10 seconds of history, audio levels, transmitters' battery levels, and mute status.

Dante support allows you to seamlessly send uncompressed, multichannel audio over standard IP Ethernet networks with low-latency, sample-accurate synchronization, and automatic device discovery.

Wireless Designer software integrates the digital and Digital Hybrid Wireless into a single control panel with site scanning and frequency coordination. The software can be used while connected to the DSQD or offline in planning a large multichannel system.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this receiver work with a Sennhesier SK500 transmitter in thr Aw+ band (470-558Mhz)?

A: No it would not work with Sennheiser transmitters. It can be used to capture audio when paired with the SONY UTX-B03HR beltpack transmitter & microphone (sold separately)

Q: 2. Do I need to purchase anything else beside the antena?

A: This should work with any receiver but this antenna needs DC power. Many receivers can supply DC at the antenna port, but if yours does not you'd need to consider how you are going to supply power to it. You can use a DC power supply if you are close enough to an AC outlet. If not, you'd need to supply power via a DC inserter between the receiver antenna jack and the cable to the antenna. Lectrosonics makes this. Part number is BIAST and also needs a CH12 power supply.

Q: 3. Will the balanced output drive a device that requires line level input? I was thinking of connecting it directly to the line level input of the Radial EXO-POD.

A: The Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver is only capable of Mic level output signals and does not offer Line level output.

Q: 4. Can the Sony URX-P41D be paired with a Lectrosonics LMb transmitter with the same frequency range?

A: No, a Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver will not work with a Lectrosonics transmitter.

Q: 5. What is the length of the receiver unit including the antennas?

A: The Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver measures 2.8 inches in height, and its antennas add another 5 inches for a total length of just under 8 inches.

Q: 6. What alternatives do i have to power this unit when in a sound bag?

A: The Sony URX-S03D UWP-D Dual-Channel Slot-In Wireless Receiver requires 7V DC 200mA from a camcorder or wireless power adapter such as the Sony DWA-F01D Digital Wireless Adapter (B&H # SODWAF01D). For mixer-bag use with battery systems, centralized management for the DWA-F01D can be achieved using the Hirose 4-pin or BP jack. For AC powering, you can use an InfoLITHIUM battery charger as an AC adapter or use a conventional AC adapter with the BP jack.

Q: 7. Will the SMAD-P3 work with this system?

A: No, the SMAD-P5 would be the compatible model for the URX-P41D.

Q: 8. Which is the best of the three band choices for New York City?

A: The three frequency ranges of the Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver all have many available channels for use in the New York City area. With 2,772 frequencies in each band and the ability to scan for the cleanest channel based on location, each range should have minimal issues finding an open frequency, even in dense RF environments. The UC14 and UC25 bands are most common and recommended in this scenario.

Q: 9. Can you please paste a link to the hot shoe adaptor that is compatible with this unit? Thx
