Wireless Microphone

Audio in the ISM band

When the ISM frequency band was made available in Europe for audio applications, Circuit Design, a manufacturer of professional RF modules, decided to develop suitable high-qualitytransmitters and receivers with a wide dynamic range: these are ideal for use in wireless microphones.
The WA-TX-01 (transmitter) and WARX- 01 (receiver) modules represent a novel concept in the wireless transmission of audio signals. Thanks to low power consumption, the technology lends itself to a wide range of audio applications. The transmitter and the receiver include components such as SAW filters, SAW resonators and noise reduction ICs.
