Rio Rancho, NM - Oct 1, 1007 - The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued Lectrosonics a patent (U.S. Patent No. 7,225,135) for its Digital Hybrid Wireless technology. Digital Hybrid Wireless is used in the Lectrosonics Venue, UCR401, UCR411A and R400A receivers and the SM, UM, MM, UH and UT receivers. The technology is also backward compatibile with earlier wireless systems from Lectrosonics and other manufacturers.

The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless technology uses a proprietary algorithm to encode 24-bit digital audio information with no compression and low distortion into an analog format that can be transmitted in a robust manner over an analog FM wireless link, which results in a higher dynamic range.

A compatibility mode emulates the companding schemes of Lectrosonics 100 and 200 Series wireless systems using DSP.
