IFBlue IFBR1C Beltpack Receiver
The IFBlue receiver provides simplicity and flexibility in a tough package that is intuitive for untrained users to operate. In spite of its small size, the receiver pack offers excellent performance and convenience. The dock charging feature and supplied rechargeable batteries make daily use a snap, while 10 programmable preset frequencies give you excellent flexibility on set or in the studio.
The Receiver is compatible with Transmitters available from Lectrosonics include the IFBT4, IFBT4-VHF, or any Digital Hybrid Wireless transmitter in IFB compatibility mode.
Wireless IFB (interruptible fold back) systems are used for talent cueing and crew communications in broadcast and motion picture production. In other cases, the IFB system is used by directors and other management to monitor program audio during a production. The IFBR1C receiver provides simplicity and flexibility in a package that is intuitive for untrained users to operate. In spite of its tiny size, the new IFBR1C receiver offers excellent performance on par with all of Lectrosonics? IFB products.
The design uses +/-20 kHz FM deviation for efficient use of the bandwidth, with compandor noise reduction circuitry for an excellent signal to noise ratio. A supersonic Pilot Tone signal controls the audio output squelch to keep the receiver silent when no transmitter signal is received. The incoming RF signal is filtered and amplified, then mixed down to the IF frequency with a microprocessor controlled synthesizer.
If a monaural earpiece is connected, this condition is automatically accommodated, with no loss of audio output power or battery life. Full output power is available
with either type of connector, without the power losses that result from a resistive circuit design. The headphone cable doubles as the receiving antenna.
The receiver will drive a wide variety of earbuds, headphones and induction neck loops at substantial levels, with loads from 16 Ohms to 600 Ohms.
The IFBR1C operates on two (2) double A batteries. The LED indicator changes color from green to red as the battery voltage declines to provide plenty of warning before operation ceases. Inside the battery door is a USB port for firmware updates in the field.
The IFBR1C is housed in a rugged, injection molded ABS package. A belt clip is included and provides a secure mounting on a wide variety of belts, pockets and fabrics.
