Deity D2RX - THEOS Wireless Microphone Receiver Overview
The Deity D2RX sets itself apart by using an ultra-broad UHF spectrum. This receiver's frequencies range from 550-960 MHz. (The actual band size and spectrum will depend on where the device is used)
Remote Control via Sidus Audio App
The D2RX allows for remote control functionality through the Sidus Audio app. The app allows you to run frequency scanning, coordination, change output modes, and more. This feature eliminates the need to physically handle the device, making it much more convenient when working with multiple units on set. You can pair up to 20 devices to a single phone.
SMA Antenna Ports
The D2RX comes with SMA antenna ports, which allows you to swap out antennas to fine-tune your frequency or replace them if they get damaged. It can also be connected to external antennas or an antenna distribution system. This feature makes transporting your gear more compact in its case, which is especially useful when working on location.
Deity THEOS DXTX Overview
The Deity THEOS DXTX (Global) Plug-On Transmitter is a high-performance audio transmission solution designed for professionals in film and broadcast environments. Featuring a Neutrik XLR locking female panel mount connector, it ensures secure, reliable connections for microphones. The DXTX supports simultaneous transmission and recording, with up to 14 hours of battery life on just two AA batteries. A 32GB microSD card is included inside the battery door, providing ample storage for backup recordings. The device is equipped with a color screen for easy monitoring, while its innovative design positions the LEDs underneath the unit to make them visible when used on a boom pole but hidden from the camera lens during handheld interviews.
With RF suppression capabilities thanks to the Neutrik EMC-XLR Series connector, the DXTX minimizes interference in critical audio applications. The XLR connector also supports 5V bias, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones that require bias voltage, such as Deity, RODE, and Sennheiser models. For even greater versatility, the DXTX features a 50 Ohm SMA antenna port and a USB-C port, allowing it to be integrated into larger audio systems as an IFB or camera hop transmitter with a built-in backup recorder. Additionally, Bluetooth control with BitConnectify™ 2.0 provides remote management within a 76.2m range.
