More flexible gear means less to carry in a bag, less to fit in a case, and less gear to rent for a gig. That's the philosophy behind the \u003cstrong\u003eA20-TX digital wireless transmitter\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sound Devices engineered it to be compatible with more input sources than any other transmitter, including two- or three-wire lavs, dynamic mics, phantom-powered condenser mics, guitars, balanced line-level sources, and even AES digital mics — saving you from having to pack or rent more transmitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with A10-RX, ASTRAL ARX2 (A20-RX), ASTRAL ARX16 (A20-Nexus) and ASTRAL ARX8 (A20-Nexus Go) receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorldwide tuning range\u003c\/strong\u003e: VHF and UHF from 169 MHz to 1525 MHz via SpectraBand technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 12 hours battery life\u003c\/strong\u003e (depending on battery type, count, TX power, and input)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEco-friendly powering\u003c\/strong\u003e: rechargeable Li-ion or LiFePO4 batteries, or standard AA batteries (alkaline, lithium primary, NiMH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in battery charger\u003c\/strong\u003e via USB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull remote control\u003c\/strong\u003e via the A20-Remote companion app (iOS\/Android Bluetooth 5.2 LE) and from ASTRAL ARX16\/ARX8 via long-range NexLink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState-of-the-art 100% digital modulation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Standard or Long Range — delivering the longest transmission distance of any system on the market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRF output power\u003c\/strong\u003e: Off \/ Low 2 mW \/ Normal 10 mW \/ High 20 mW \/ Extra-High 40 mW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultipurpose Lemo input\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-wire or 3-wire mono lav, balanced mic, switchable 12 V\/48 V phantom, balanced line-level, AES3, AES42 (Schoeps SuperCMIT compatible), and guitar (with optional Smart Guitar Cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGainForward Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e: no gain control to worry about on the A20-TX — adjust gain, low-cut, and limiter at the receiver or mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull 10 Hz to 20 kHz audio bandwidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Series mic preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e: fully balanced, 140 dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-quiet lavalier mic preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130+ dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in 32-bit float, 48 kHz recorder\u003c\/strong\u003e with removable microSD card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-stable internal timecode\u003c\/strong\u003e, auto-jammed via NexLink (0.2 ppm accuracy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ee-Paper display\u003c\/strong\u003e: sunlight-readable, persistent even when powered off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C\u003c\/strong\u003e: pairing with ASTRAL ARX16, file transfer, charging, and timecode sync\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA20-TX Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e: optional user-programmable bayonet switch, magnetically sensed, physically removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 169-1525 MHz, adjustable in 25 kHz steps (regional availability applies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRF output power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Off \/ 2 mW \/ 10 mW \/ 20 mW \/ 40 mW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proprietary 100% digital — Standard (2 ms latency) or Long Range (3.9 ms latency)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntennas:\u003c\/strong\u003e UHF SMA (detachable), 2.4 GHz integrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz to 20 kHz, ±1 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLav input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134 dB min dynamic range (A-weighted), 5 V p-p clip level, Lemo 3-pin auto-detect with 5 V bias\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced mic input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 dB min dynamic range (A-weighted), 12 V or 48 V phantom, 10 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine input:\u003c\/strong\u003e +26 dBu max input level, true line-level (no external resistor needed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital input:\u003c\/strong\u003e AES3 and AES42 (250 mA available for SuperCMIT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuitar input:\u003c\/strong\u003e auto-selected with Smart Guitar Cable — 18 V p-p max, 100k\/1M\/10M selectable impedance, 0-3000 pF cable capacitance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecording:\u003c\/strong\u003e microSD (FAT32 \u0026lt;
