AT SIA Acoustics, we use measurement microphones in a number of applications: measuring loudspeakers both in our lab and on job sites, setting up sound systems, and measuring room acoustics issues such as reverberation and ambient noise conditions. There are several issues that present problems for using standard wireless systems in critical measurement applications such as increased self noise, distortion, and noise artifacts due to companding deviations of frequency and phase response and range. However, the Lectronsonics unit successfully addresses most of these issues for all but the most extremely demanding situations.

The TM400 system consists of a UH400TM transmitter and R400 receiver. The receiver chassis design is compact, functional, and durable. The complete package, along with a measurement microphone, notebook computer, miscellaneous cables, adapters, etc. easily fits in a backpack or briefcase-type kit.
