Azden: Quality You Can Hear |
|
|
|
|
|
Started as an OEM manufacturer for many of the world's best-known quality brand names, Azden in the past 15 years has established its own brand identity. Today, the name "Azden" is synonymous with quality, around the world.
Azden's portable VHF wireless microphone systems have been the leaders in Event and Wedding Videography fields. They are considered to have better RF than competitors priced considerably higher.The "PRO" series continues to evolve, with constantly improving circuitry, in products such as the WR22-PRO, a discrete 2-channel receiver for recording from 2 microphones simultaneously, and the WDR-PRO, an on-camera true-diversity receiver, for "drop-out free" wireless.

The 500UDR represents a breakthrough in on-camera, frequency-selectable UHF receivers.
The 63-channel 400UDR and the new 500UDR UHF portable systems are rapidly being accepted as the best performing system for those broadcast professionals wanting maximum flexibility of transmitter options and quality, at a reasonable price. And the new 1000URX 121-channel UHF system sets a new standard for performance and ease of use, while retaining the Azden tradition for quality at reasonable prices.
In the Pro Sound market, the Performance Series, with rugged metal-cased AC-powered receivers, has been accepted by musicians, schools, and churches around the world. VHF systems are available in a choice of 25 frequencies (174-196MHz), and with a choice of five transmitters, UHF systems are 63 channel user-selectable (794-806MHz). Azden engineering once again has shown that great performance doesn't necessarily have to be high priced.
Its ‘Enhanced Performance’ assures you of the highest image rejection combined with the finest in audio clarity. The crystal-controlled, PLL-synthesized mixer/local oscillator provides for extremely accurate frequency selection while the twin-antenna true diversity dual front-end reduces multipath distortion caused dropouts to near zero.
In the real world of ENG the ability to be able to select a ‘clear’ frequency on the spot is vitally important. Going out into the field with a single-frequency unit invites disaster since there is no way of knowing what frequencies will be used by the other crews that are covering the same story. Think of the 500UDR as your insurance policy - your assurance of getting the story.
Designed by professionals - for professionals, the 500UDR will provide you with years of worry-free, high-quality performance and will work flawlessly with the Azden 41BT, 41HT and 41XT frequency-agile UHF transmitters.
Creating the newest, most technologically advanced audio products has been a tradition at Azden for over 40 years. Taking advantage of the latest in CAD and SMT technology, every Azden product is loaded with features and enhancements within minimal space.
500UDR Enhanced Performance UHF Wireless Receiver
63 user-selectable frequencies and true diversity front end with twin removable antennas in a new, lightweight all-metal chassis that measures only 4.1" square and 1.37" thick. Using 6 "AA" batteries, the 500UDR can operate for more than 8 1/2 hours. For even longer duty, the 500 UDR can be powered by an external power source through its DC-IN jack. Compatible with the 41BT bodypack, 41HT handheld mic and 41XT plug-in mic transmitter, the new 500UDR easily attaches to the video camera with supplied Velcro. In-use monitoring is achieved through the provided ear phone jack which has a seperate volume control.
