ChrisH Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hey guys can anyone enlighten me as to the difference between the SMV and the older discontinued SMD? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 From what I have researched it is identical except no variable TXpower, is this correct? Also does the RM still work on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Antennas for one, and output power if memory's good (all SMs now can go up to 250 mW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound Grab Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 In addition to the above.. SMD and SMQV is dual battery, whereas SMa and SMV is single battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlw Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 SMDa: fixed antenna, fixed power at 100 mW, no power state return. SMQV: removable antenna, selectable power at 50, 100 and 250 mW, and power state return. Both can respond to commands from an RM or the LectroMote app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbat Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Older SMD have also a fixed low cut filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Older SMs (SMD, etc) : can your ride the units in "200 series" mode ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonG Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have to say that I am rather surprised how few people it seems are using the RM or Remote app. Nearly every actor or host I encounter is super surprised when I zap them with the remote. They think its some sort of crazy sorcery! I love my SMQVs though, with their variable power output they have really saved the day in high RF interference areas!

Ended up not getting em anyway but good to know. Now I can wait on the WMs:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlw Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Older SMD have also a fixed low cut filter. Yes, thanks for catching that. The SMQV has a variable high-pass filter. Older SMs (SMD, etc) : can your ride the units in "200 series" mode ? Yes, all SM Series (old and new) have the compatibility modes, including 200 mode.

Matt Bacon AMPS Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Pardon my ignorance as I'm new to Lectros. Can someone write a timeline of the Lectrosonic digital hybrid TX range? I ask as Lectro use different module names in Europe so I'm a bit confused over what came when? I've bought some secondhand SMa so are these the latest models?

Jon Gilbert Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 The Lectro site is one of the best for info on older units, it's all there if you take the time to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
