The SR 4500 is a stationary True Diversity receiver for use with all WMS 4000 transmitters. The SR 4500 operates in
a subband up to 30 MHz wide of the 500 MHz to 862 MHz UHF carrier frequency band. Within the subband, you can
either set the carrier frequency directly in 25-kHz increments or select one of the channels of the Preset Frequency
Groups of your receiver.
A backlit display indicates all important parameters including the receiving frequency, audio level, RF level, current op-
erating mode, and remaining transmitter battery life.
The receiver provides two operating modes:
• In LOCK mode, all setup functions are electronically locked to prevent parameters from being readjusted uninten-
tionally during a performance or lecture. The "LOCK" label on the display indicates the receiver is in LOCK mode.
• ACTIVE mode allows you to adjust and save all receiver parameters. In ACTIVE mode, the "LOCK" label disappears.
The receiver provides both a balanced XLR and an unbalanced 1/4" audio output.
You can use the receiver as a standalone unit or install it in a 19" rack using the supplied rack mounting kit.
