jwill Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Has anyone here tried this lashup? What are your thoughts... and if you roll like this what is the sound quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 I’m also curious about this. I just got into a 944 IFB r1a setup, and since they’re very hard to find, I may be looking into supplementing receivers with IFBlue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 The IFBlue works with any Lectro IFB Tx. And any Lectro hybrid Tx set to IFB mode. Sound quality is better that R1a to my ears (and the boom ops I’ve had use them, all seem to agree). Now, as far as I understand, there are some overlapping frequencies in the 941 and the 944 bands, so technically it should work. - But…. I think the IFBlue is only available in A1 and B1 so far(?) Even the B1 seem to be back ordered. Maybe someone at Lectro would be able to answer all of this better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 From lunchtime chats with Gordon (Lectro Pres), I understand we have received recent IFBlue shipments that catch us up on most backorders. Further, we are going to receive enough units in the next few days that will allow us to even put units on the shelf. The current global semiconductor supply chain shortages due to fires and Covid are playing Hell with delivery schedules. The positive way to look at it, is that the Black Plague was worse.

karlw Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 We have shipped IFBlue receivers in the A1, B1, C1 and 941 bands. Currently, A1, C1 and 941 units are in stock at the HQ (this changes daily, however). And, we have another batch in the works, likely available in late January. The 941 units are compatible with the IFBT4-944 transmitters, although those transmitters offer 8 MHz of tuning range (944-952 MHz) while the IFBlue 941 receivers have a 19 MHz tuning range (941-960 MHz). As long as the transmitter & receivers are on the same frequency, they will work - no pilot tone compat problems in IFB mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thank you to those who have replied. I’m currently using two R1a’s in 944 with an SMV 941 and IFBT4 944. Everything works great. I suppose I’ll add a couple of IFBlue to the mix to extend the usefulness of this setup. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Why is it again that the new 944 transmitters have only the 8MHz bandwidth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 941 systems are the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
