Lectrosonics DCR822 Compact Dual Channel Digital Receiver 470.100 - 614.375Mhz
The Lectrosonics DCR822 digital 2 channel receiver is the true successor to the venerable UCR411a – a dual-channel package in the same size - and represents state-of-the art RF performance with Vector Diversity (an advanced type of True Diversity) and extremely robust front-end architecture, bringing the Highest Level of RF and Audio Performance to Field and Location Production.
The DCR822’s powerful Vector Diversity subsystem constructively combines all the energy available at both antennas, smoothly and continuously combines RF signals from two receiver front ends per channel, with differing phase angles in order to obtain maximum energy and signal-to-noise.
Traditional “true diversity” or “ratio diversity” methods use two complete receivers and blend the audio. This works well for FM and Digital Hybrid systems but falls short of the ideal for today’s all-digital modes. The DCR822’s Vector Diversity subsystem deliver clean, artifact-free performance in all modes, and actually able to take two signals compromised by multipath interference and reassemble them into a usable signal.
The DCR822 features an all-digital audio path, 24bit/48kHz digital audio, which outputs to (2) analog audio signals or (4) AES3 digital audio signals (when used with stereo modes).
The DCR822 includes AES-256 CTR encryption with 4 types of key policies: only Lectrosonics provides such flexible and powerful encryption.
The DCR822 also has on-board recording, in the industry standard .WAV (BWF) file format, allowing recording time of 46 hours with a 32GB microSDHD card.

Note: The dual envelope “soft” limiter
provides exceptionally good handling
of transients using variable attack and
release time constants. Once activated,
the limiter compresses 30+ dB of transmitter
input range into 4.5 dB of receiver output range,
thus reducing the measured figure for SNR
without limiting by 4.5 dB
