Lectrosonics Receivers

[mjvolzer]

I'm looking to get a bunch of new lav systems from Lectrosonics. I've decided to go with the Super Miniature Transmitters, but I'm trying to determine the major differences between the SMa, the SMDa, and the SMQa. I'm also trying to decide between the UCR401A Receiver and the UCR411A Receiver. I know the 401A is more compact which is a definite advantage for us, but is there any noticeable difference in quality between the two?
I was just wondering if anyone had experience with these systems and could offer some advice. Thanks.

sma and smd are the same unit but smd take 2 batteries so it runs double in time with rechargeables and 3 times more with alcalain
these 2 are 100mw transmitters
the smq is 250mw tx , has grater range , shorter working time , about 60% of the smd

the difference between the 401 and 411 is a better filtering for the fq spectrum and less wounable for unwonted rf penetration
if you are going to use the unit inside the bag with close range transmitters use 411. if these only receivers around there is no difference
also the 411 could be hooked to ext antennas , the 401 has fixed antennas
sound wise - they same

Thanks man appreciate the input. I've gotten Lectrosonics on the phone and asked them a few questions. Looks like we'll be going with the smds and 411s.
