audio monitoring
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Versatile and modular UHF Audio Monitoring system.
High audio quality, low power consumption andminiaturised dimensions thanks to the patented TMVWBtransmission system.
Ancillary equipment also allows re-routing of the audiosignal through several types of communication channels.
UHF AUDIO MONITORING
TMWB
The Time Modulation Very Wide Band
(TMVWB) is a pulsed transmission
technique developed and patented by
BEA.
This proprietary modulation reduces the
probability of detection and interception
with RF detectors or other conventional
sweeping techniques and drastically
reduces the average power consumption
of the transmitter, allowing operating
times over 30 times longer than
conventional transmitters with the same
peak output power level.
TMVWB devices produce an excellent
audio quality thanks to the wide
bandwidth and high dynamic range, and
are particularly indicated for long term
deployments using small battery packs.
The TMVWB family of transmitters is characterised by a thin package, making it an ideal candidate for deployments where deep concealment
is paramount. Available in several versions, each one developed to answer specific operational requirements and fully compatible with all
other system components, BEA’s micro transmitters can also be remotely controlled by an external miniature RF Switch.
Transmitters
Micro2 NT
Represents the basic transmitter of the
TMVWB family and is characterised by an
exceptionally small footprint. Its very low
power consumption allows operating
times in excess of 700 hours using a
standard 9 volt Lithium non rechargeable
battery.
Adoption of the latest generation of
semiconductor devices and a carefully
designed layout ensure frequency
stability and power efficiency. It can be
easily concealed, and includes a thin wire
antenna for quick transmitter installation
and rapid system deployment.
Micro2 HP NT
A high powered version of the Micro2 NT
is also available in order to provide a
robust radio link in situations where
longer distances between the target and
the observation post may be required.
The addition of an internal RF amplifier
increases the operational range of the
Micro2 HP NT transmitter whilst
maintaining power consumption well
within the capability of battery packs.
The built-in AGC ensures an optimal
audio level even in difficult acoustical
environments.
Micro3
A revised modulator gives Micro3 an
extended audio bandwidth of up to 8
KHz, providing exceptional speech
intelligibility even in reverberant
acoustical environments.
The built-in automatic microphone gain
control ensures that an optimal audio
level is transmitted at all times,
irrespective of the acoustical level in the
environment.
Micro2 ST
Micro2 ST pushes the boundaries of
concealment & miniaturisation.
This special-purpose transmitter uses a
proprietary low profile radiator and
matching network design instead of the
usual 1/4 wave wire antenna.
The solution decreases its effective
footprint and thus allows rapid
deployment in confined spaces without
the need to worry about the placement
of the antenna.
Micro2 Magnetic
Micro2 Magnetic is a coin-shaped
transmitter with microphone, antenna
and battery embedded in a compact
package.
The magnetic support allows quick
installations onto metal surfaces that,
thanks to our proprietary matching
network, will also act as an antenna.
Easy to use and to conceal: once set up,
the two non-rechargeable Lithium
batteries ensure up approx. 200 hours
working.
NEW
Master MTC
Universal docking station for all BEA RF
audio transmitters: it contains the user
interface, power management system,
audio and control buses management.
Different RF modules can be seamlessly
fitted onto the receiver: this approach
has the advantage of providing the end
user with a common receiving platform
that can be used with a variety of covert
transmitters, substantially reducing costs
and the amount of training required
whenever a new covert device is
introduced in the end user's kit.
A user-friendly interface enables
monitoring of the device’s status,
switching of the reception frequency and
control of the optional audio recorder.
External connectors, carrying digital and
analogue audio signals, allow for live
monitoring and re-routing of the signal
via other RF or wired vectors and the
built-in rechargeable lithium battery
pack gives up to 8h of continuous
operation.
REC VERSION
On request, the MTC can also be
equipped with an embedded digital
recorder; the recorded audio can be
retrieved using a custom software
application thus ensuring the safety of
the recorded tracks.
Memory sizes of up to 16GB are currently
supported by the device.
Modulo MC
The Modulo MC receives and
demodulates the RF signal from all our
TMVWB transmitters.
Baseband demodulation and processing
is carried out by a high performance
microcontroller, allowing a better signal
to noise ratio compared to receivers from
the previous generation.
Receivers
Micro RL NT
Compact single channel receiver unit
designed for quick operations.
The Micro RL NT is factory set on the
frequency and bandwidth of a chosen
transmitter (Micro2 or Micro3 family).
NT and PLUS REC VERSION
The recorded audio is saved to a removable microSD card using a proprietary file system
that can only be read by a specialized software application provided by BEA. This ensures
that only authorized parties can access the recordings.
Micro RL PLUS
Micro RL PLUS has 4 factory set
frequencies: 300 | 325 | 345 | 365 MHz
that can be manually selected by the
user.
Micro3 signal requires dedicated version.
The receiving part of the system offers two options:
- a modular solution allowing to manage Micro2 and Micro3 transmitters set on different frequencies and with advanced features.
- a compact dedicated tactical receiver, MICRO RL NT, factory set on specific Micro2 or Micro3 transmitter frequencies.
The REC version embeds an SD-card based digital recorder, where audio is saved using a proprietary file system.
Relaunchers
Delta
GSM repeater for the TMVWB
transmitters. It features an auxiliary audio
input that can be used to connect a local
microphone or an additional RF receiver.
Receiver frequency can be changed
remotely and an integrated AFC
periodically tracks the transmitter
frequency, ensuring automatic correction
of any drift.
Dual SIM capability increases the
reliability of the communication. The
device provides several sensors that can
be programmed to trigger a call and/or a
recording, as well as auxiliary digital
Inputs and Outputs. Alarms and
behaviours can be programmed via
DTMF, SMS messages and using the
optional PC interface ENEA MANAGER,
allowing also the scheduling of
unattended activities. Micro3 T requires
dedicated version.
REC VERSION
An internal solid state recorder is
provided in the Delta REC version,
allowing local audio recording as well as
real time monitoring. Audio files can be
created whilst the GSM module is off and
downloaded at a later time, thus
preventing discovery during an anti-
sweeping activity. Track length can be
configured by the user for easier
download and processing. Max.
recording capacity: 18 hours.
Ponte NT
Ponte is a power efficient repeater for
transmitters belonging to the TMVWB
family. The signal received by the Modulo
MC interfaced to the repeater is
retransmitted over one of four available
channels within the same 300-390 MHz
band.
It incorporates an automatic frequency
correction algorithm that ensures long-
term signal quality during extended
deployments in harsh environments.
An internal rechargeable battery pack
allows rapid deployment of the Ponte
even when a power source is not
immediately available.
RF/GSM Interface
This interface receives and decodes the
signal from the TMVWB transmitters and
forwards it to the GSM audio monitoring
devices ENEA/ENEA REC.
This solution increases the modularity
and interoperability of several BEA
solutions as it allows the Enea device to
manage the input from a wireless
microphone.
