CXiR Diversity
Receiver
The CX
iR
is a multi-frequency UHF diversity
receiver, designed with a range of modular adapters
to allow it to be mounted internally in the latest
camcorders from Sony, Philips, and Ikegami.
Alternatively, a universal adapter fitted with the six
pin Lemo socket is available allowing the CX
iR
to be
used externally with camcorders that do not provide
a built-in wireless microphone receiver slot. Also,
the CX
iR
can be used as a portable documentary or
ENG receiver. All settings can be read or changed
via infra-red control using the Switch
iR
.
