The Lectrosonics DSQD/AES3 packs four wideband receivers with analog XLR and AES3 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 ultralow 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 off-line 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 multicoupler, enabling you to run multiple receivers from a single pair of antennas without the need for additional components. The DSQD includes a hardware needed to mount two units together, yielding 8 channels in 1 RU. If you're rackmounting only a single DSQD, the RMPM2T-1 mounting kit (available separately) is required.
