Experience ultimate flexibility as you find open spectrum away from the crowded UHF TV band. The Sound Devices ASTRAL ARX2 two channel true diversity receiver features industry-exclusive SpectraBand technology, which delivers a tuning range of 169 – 1525 MHz in a single unit. Superior low-loss, brick-wall SAW filters deliver excellent performance in noisy RF environments, while the AutoAssign feature makes frequency selection and setting quick and easy. 
 

• SpectraBand Technology: compatible with the Astral transmitters from 169 MHz – 1525 MHz and all tuning ranges of the A10-TX. 
• Advanced Digital True Diversity topology uses two complete RF receivers for each of the two channels, with four RF receivers in total.  
• SuperSlot compatible with the SL-2 and 8-Series mixer-recorders. 
• State-of-the-art 100% digital long-range modulation delivers the longest transmission distance of any digital system on the market.¹ 
• GainForward Architecture compatible with the Astral trasnmitters. Set the TX gain levels via trim control (with an 8-Series) or at the ARX2 (for other mixers). 
• Full 10 Hz – 20 kHz audio bandwidth; 100% digital RF modulation and transmission. 
• Excellent immunity from nearby IFB or camera hop transmitters without the need for external filters or extra cabling.  
• Maximum connectivity: SuperSlot, XLR, and TA3 backplates, A-RXMON headphone amp, and A-15PIN two-channel AES Sony camera slot adapter. 
• Analog line-level or AES digital audio output. 
• With SpectraBand technology, you won’t need to purchase another receiver dedicated to a specific country or frequency band. SpectraBand gives you access to nearly twice the frequencies available with other systems worldwide – almost 2600 available channels.  

The ARX2 AutoAssign scans a tuning band and selects available frequencies for you – perfect for any fast-paced shoot. Meanwhile, brick-wall SAW filters eliminate out-of-band interference so you can get the best RF performance possible. Enjoy immunity from nearby IFB or camera hop transmitters without the need for external filters or extra cabling.
