The Lectrosonics DCHR-B1C1 is a miniature, digital camera hop wireless receiver engineered to work alongside the company's DCHT-B1C1 transmitter. Together they form the Digital Camera Hop System, offering professional-quality stereo audio with encryption for applications where reliability is critical. The receiver is also compatible with the M2T unencrypted and M2T-X encrypted digital stereo transmitters as well as the D-Square Series mono digital transmitters, including the DBu, DHu, and DPR.

Designed to be camera mountable and battery powered, the DCHR-B1C1 is ideal for production sound, sports video, reality TV, and anywhere a wireless stereo camera hop or compact digital receiver is needed—especially when using a small camera.

The DCHR-B1C1 tunes across a wide 144 MHz bandwidth with a 537 to 691 MHz frequency range. It employs advanced antenna diversity switching during digital packet headers for seamless audio without dropouts and extended operating range. AES 256-CTR encryption with four key types provide a secure signal transmission.

The Receiver is equipped with a single TA5M audio output jack that can be configured as two independent, balanced mic-/line-level outputs or as a single two-channel AES3 digital output. A variety of output cables are available separately, each to accommodate your camera's type of inputs.

A user-friendly interface and high-resolution LCD and membrane switches provide users with a quick read on the status of the system. Setup is fast and easy with RF scanning and two-way IR sync that sends settings from the receiver to the transmitter. This way, frequency planning and coordination can be done quickly and confidently with on-site RF information.

The headphone monitor output is fed from a high-quality stereo amplifier. It delivers enough power to drive even inefficient headphones or earphones to sufficient levels for use in noisy environments.

The DCHR-B1C1 operates up to 8 hours on two AA batteries. The LRSHOE kit (available separately) allows you to use the included wire belt clip to mount the receiver to a camera's cold shoe.

• Tunes across 144 MHz from 537 to 691 MHz
• Compatible with DCHT-B1C1, M2T, M2T-X, and D-Square Series transmitters (DBu, DHu, DPR)
• Selectable AES3 or balanced analog mic-/line-level outputs on a single TA5M connector
• Fast RF scanning and setup via 2-way IR
• Headphone monitor output
• AES 256-CTR encryption for robust security, and four key management policy choices for different applications
• 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries
• May be powered via an external DC power supply using the Lectrosonics LTBATELIM adapter (available separately), which replaces the battery door and provides a locking coaxial connector
• USB port for firmware updates

• The rugged housing and panels are made of solid machined aluminum with ebENi finishes (black electroless nickel plating) and laser-etched marking for durability, yet they are lightweight and sleek in order to occupy minimal space on a camera.

• To alleviate RF interference, the DCHR-B1C1 uses selective frequency-tracking filters in the front-end section (the first circuit stage following the antenna) to suppress RF energy below and above the operating frequency. As the operating frequency is changed, the filters re-tune into six different “zones” depending on the selected carrier frequency. A tuned filter is followed by an amplifier and then another filter to provide the selectivity needed to suppress interference, yet provide a wide tuning range and retain the sensitivity needed for extended operating range.

• A major problem facing wireless users is finding clear operating frequencies, especially in RF saturated environments. SmartTune solves this problem by automatically scanning all the frequencies available in the unit, and tuning to the frequency with the lowest RF interference, significantly reducing setup time.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this receive signals from two separate DBu mono transmitters simultaneousy?

A: Yes, the Lectrosonics DCHR Camera-Mount Miniature Digital Camera Hop Wireless Receiver can be used with two separate Lectrosonics DBu Digital Bodypack Wireless Transmitters at the same time.

Q: 2. Does this newer receiver work with the previous gen UTX-B03 transmitter? I need to add a 2nd receiver to my kit.

A: Yes, this URX-P40 receiver will work with the previous generation UTX-B03 transmitter as long as they both operate on the same frequency band.

Q: 3. Can you connect two UTX-B40 to one URX-P40? A use case would be two people talking, each person with a UTX-B40 and a URX-P40 connected to a camera that is recording kind of like a discussion/interview between two people

A: No, the URX-P40 is a single-channel receiver that can be used with one transmitter only. For two people, you will want the Sony URX-P03D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver - UC14: 470 to 542 MHz (B&H # SOURXP03D14) which is a two-channel receiver that can be used with two transmitters at the same time. We do sell a kit that includes the URX-P03D receiver and two UTX-B40 transmitters with lavalier mics and a case, which is the Sony UWP-D 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System Kit - UC14: 470 to 542 MHz (B&H # SOURXP03D14Q). The URX-P03D can send one signal to the camera with the combined audio from both mics.

Q: 4. Deity says the USA Theo RX & TX can also operate in 940-960Mhz range, Can you please confirm this? Thx-

A: The version of the Deity Microphones Theos D2RX Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Microphone Receiver that we carry only works in North America. It is possible to use this same system in other parts of the world; however, in order to do so, you will need to order a different set of antennas. We cannot order those antennas though—you will need to contact Deity directly for support.

Q: 5. will this work with Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector?

A: The Deity Microphones Theos D2RX Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Microphone Receiver (550 to 663 MHz) cannot be used with a lavalier microphone, because it does not have a microphone input. It is a wireless receiver; you would connect a lavalier microphone to the transmitter instead.

Q: 6. Does it have a headphone jack for monitoring audio?

A: The Deity Microphones Theos D2RX Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Microphone Receiver (550 to 663 MHz) does not have a headphone jack for monitoring audio.

Q: 7. Is the DCHR compatible with the Lectro LT?

A: I'm sorry, but this receiver will only work with the Lectrosonics digital transmitters, such as the DCHT, M2T, DBu, DHu, and DPR series models.

Q: 8. For pairing, does the transmitter need to touch or be close to the receiver? Can they be paired without the app?

A: The Sennheiser EW-DP EK Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Receiver and compatible transmitter need to be in line of sight of each other, but can be up to 100 feet away when pairing by pressing the sync buttons on the receiver and transmitter. The EW-D Smart Assist app is not required for pairing.

Q: 9. can this be paired with a Lectrosonics L Series LT Bodypack Wireless Transmitter (B1: 537 to 607 MHz)?

A: The Deity Microphones Theos D2RX Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Microphone Receiver cannot be paired with Lectrosonics transmitters.

Q: 10. Is the DCHR immune from being fried by + 48V phantom power?

A: Correct
