Lectrosonics announced the introduction of a new interruptible foldback transmitter base station, the IFBT2.0.

The unit features two independent transmitters, which equals the rack density of the older T4 unit. The company said it has menu-selectable input connectivity, including analog line and mic level, Dante and AES digital, Clear-com and RTS. The inputs are designed to be used with connections where DC is present on the audio lines.

The unit also includes USB-C and Ethernet connections for use with Wireless Designer software for system monitoring, frequency coordination and setup.

The product offers IFb, NU Hybrid and EU Hybrid compatibility modes, which allow the units to be used in IFB and other applications such as point-to-point audio.

There are three tuning ranges available for the new product, A1, B1 and C, matching the currently available IFBR1B and IFBR1C receiver packs.

“The Lectrosonics IFBT4 was a legendary standard in IFB systems for two decades due to the power, simplicity and robustness that these devices provided,” said Karl Winkler, executive vice president of product design and distribution at Lectrosonics. “Based on customer requests for a modern unit with digital audio connectivity, along with control and monitoring with Wireless Designer, we developed the IFBT2.0 for a wide variety of applications, starting with broadcast IFB. This unit has the same rack density as the original, but is much easier to use, with a modern interface and more options for audio inputs.”

The unit comes with rack mounting hardware and can be co-racked with Lectrosonics M2T or DSQD units or racked singly with the optional RMPRM2T-! Kit. For menu navigation and monitoring, the front panel features a color LCD and tactical buttons for ease of use.
