In a land where the evil Emperor K-os reigns, one girl embarks on a journey to restore order, schedules, and the integrity of math for the people of the land, The Crew. Meet Lindsay. Lindsay was just an average A+ student at Miami University of Ohio double-majoring in communication and interactive media studies, working 2 part time jobs, and playing softball. Until one day, she saw an ad for Miami’s film club… and everything changed. After dipping her toe in as Director of Programming for the region’s first international film festival, she dove in to every film/commercial/doc project available and gradually realized she wasn’t the same as the other kids. Her skills were unlike anything they’d ever seen. She could itemize budgets, locate large crews, color-coordinate spreadsheets, and manipulate a scheduling matrix with the swiftness of a ninja through the shadows. After graduating early, she tried to hide her abilities and disguised herself as a mindless PA at a local news station, but the calling was too strong and the world needed her. In 2010, she headed to LA in search of a challenge. Her pilgrimage took her from freelance PA to Coordinator to Manager, through the realms of Film, Livestreaming, Music Videos and Commercials until she arrived in a foggy, rule-defying land called Reality TV. In 2011, she discovered a time portal that took her to Imagecraft. There she found a properly equipped battle station where she continues to coordinate her plans. Will she ever defeat her lifelong nemesis, K-os? Will she find the enduring strength to do battle with his minions, The Producers? Will she become the hero we need? Now playing in a Burbank rental house near you.

LECTROSONICS PLUG ON TRANSMITTER UH400A
Call for Price - Day Rate
The Lectrosonics UH400A is a UHF plug-in transmitter compatible with all receivers in the 100, 200 and 400 series. Digital Hybrid Technology is a DSP-based architecture that digitizes the audio signal on input and eliminates analog compandors, and the noise associated with them. The result is pristine, noise free audio and an analog FM signal link provides greater range than fully digital wireless systems.
Two rotary switches access 256 frequencies in standard Lectrosonics frequency blocks. Ultra low noise op-amp ensures quiet operation and high headroom. Phantom power is selectable for 5, 15 and 48V for condenser and electret condenser microphones. The locking collar prevents the unit from accidentally falling off the microphone and the input gain is adjustable over a 43dB, allowing flexible impedance matching. The unit is powered by a single 9V battery and provides a full 100mW output over the life of the battery.
FEATURES:
100, 200 and 400 Series Compatibility
Lectrosonic’s Digital Hybrid technology features compander emulation via DSP. This allows the LM transmitter to be used with 100, 200 and 400 series receivers.
Spring Loaded Input Coupler
A locking spring-loaded coupler provides balanced, noise free operation and prevents the transmitter from accidentally falling off connections.
High Output Power
The transmitter features 100mW of output power, which delivers up to 1,000′ of operating range.
Input Limiting
The input limiter effectively reduces noised caused by circuit overload.
