It increases the signal-tonoise ratio in wireless audio transmission to more than 110 dB.
PAGE 39
ew300_350_IEM_INT.book Seite 37 Freitag, 7. März 2008 8:55 08 Squelch Pilot tone squelch The transmitter adds a 19-kHz pilot tone to the audio signal. The receiver checks incoming audio signals to see if the pilot tone is present. In the absence of the 19-kHz signal, the receiver’s audio output will remain muted, even if a strong RF signal is present. This prevents strong interfering signals from causing hissing noise in the receiver when the transmitter is switched off.
