SMWB/E07-941 Series Introduction The design of the SMWB/E07 transmitter delivers the advanced technology and features of Digital Hybrid Wireless® in a Lectrosonics belt-pack transmitter at a modest cost. Digital Hybrid Wireless® combines a 24-bit digital audio chain with an analog FM radio link to eliminate a compandor and its artifacts, yet preserve the extended operating range and noise rejection of the finest analog wireless systems.
Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack Transmitters Features Modulation Indicators REC Battery Status LED -40 -20 0 microSDHC memory card port microSDHC memory card port Antenna Port Audio Input Jack IR (Infrared) Port Battery Status LED Indicator AA batteries can be used to power the transmitter. The LED labeled BATT on the keypad glows green when the batteries are good. The color changes to red when the battery voltage drops down and stays red through most of the battery life.
SMWB/E07-941 Series Battery Installation The transmitter is powered by two AA batteries. Because rechargeable batteries run down quite abruptly, using the Power LED to verify battery status will not be reliable. However, it is possible to track battery status using the battery timer function available in Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless receivers. The battery door opens by simply unscrewing the knurled knob part way until the door will rotate.

SMWB/E07-941 Series 5-Pin Input Jack Wiring The wiring diagrams included in this section represent the basic wiring necessary for the most common types of microphones and other audio inputs. Some microphones may require extra jumpers or a slight variation on the diagrams shown. Audio input jack wiring: PIN 1 Shield (ground) for positive biased electret lavaliere microphones. Shield (ground) for dynamic microphones and line level inputs.

The shield contact reduces noise with some microphones and the insulation clamp increases ruggedness.
SMWB/E07-941 Series Input Jack Wiring for Different Sources In addition to the microphone and line level wiring illustrated below, Lectrosonics makes a number of cables and adapters for other situations such as connecting musical instruments (guitars, bass guitars, etc.) to the transmitter.

A lot of information regarding microphone wiring is also available in the FAQ section of the web site at: www.lectrosonics.
Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack Transmitters Microphone RF Bypassing Line Level Signals When used on a wireless transmitter, the microphone element is in the proximity of the RF coming from the transmitter. The nature of electret microphones makes them sensitive to RF, which can cause problems with microphone/transmitter compatibility.

SMWB/E07-941 Series LectroRM Android By New Endian LLC LectroRM is a mobile application for iOS and Android operating systems. Its purpose is to remotely control Lectrosonics Transmitters, including: • SM Series • WM • L Series The app remotely changes settings on the transmitter through the use of encoded audio tones, which when received by the attached microphone, will alter the configured setting. The app was released by New Endian, LLC in September 2011.
Digital Hybrid Wireless Belt-Pack Transmitters Silver Paste on SM Series Transmitter Thumbscrews Silver paste is applied to thumbscrew threads on new units at the factory to improve the electrical connection from the battery compartment through the housing on any SM Series transmitter. This applies to the standard battery door and the battery eliminator. Threads provide electrical contact Simply hold the cloth around the threads and turn the thumbscrew. Move to a new spot on the cloth and do it again.
