RF Venue 4 Zone-Network Multi-Zone Antenna Combiner & D-ARC Antenna Bundle

About: RF Venue 4 Zone-Network Multi-Zone Antenna Combiner & D-ARC Antenna Bundle

4 Zone-Network Combiner

The 4 Zone-Network combiner takes the complexity out of multi-zone wireless microphone projects. 4 Zone-Network combines together up to four separate pairs of diversity antenna connections for multi-purpose rooms, indoor/outdoor configurations, or main stages with secondary breakout rooms.

• Single Rack Space: A unique one rack space design allows microphones to operate in up to four separate coverage areas.
• Keeps you Covered: Seamlessly cover wireless microphones between building locations or indoor and outdoor areas. User configurable to allow which zones are active.
• Configured as needed: 4 Zone-Network adds: LAN-based control to remotely check zone status, toggle zones on/off individually, and adjust settings without needing physical access to the unit.

Users are able to adjust the parameters (Input ON/OFF, DC Power, RF Attenuation) using the interface on the front of the unit or by connecting the device to a network and remotely accessing the user interface on a computer or tablet. 

For fine tuning RF levels in each coverage area, 4 Zone-Network provides individual channel RF signal attenuation control down to -31dB in 1 dB steps. And for active antennas or in-line amplifiers, it features selectable 12V DC power to accommodate long cable runs. 

With selectable ON/OFF inputs, 4 Zone-Network also allows for quick control of coverage zones for roaming microphone transmitters, so you can choose which zones are active as a live event or location sound project progresses, saving setup and breakdown time on site. 

Product Setup

Use in conjunction with up to four Diversity Series Antennas (or any four diversity antenna pairs) and one or more antenna distributors (such as our DISTRO5 HDR) to get a complete turnkey package for any multi-zone wireless microphone project across any brand wireless audio system.  For larger coverage areas with long cabling requirements, add OPTIX2-S3 RF over Fiber systems for each antenna zone required. 

Diversity Architectural Antenna

The Diversity Architectural Antenna by RF Venue is a high performance antenna system for wireless microphones. Featuring a slim profile enclosure, the Diversity Architectural Antenna can be installed in any position on a wall or ceiling and can be painted to match any interior.  Using a unique patent-pending dual-feed antenna design, both A and B diversity connections are provided, so there’s no need to install two separately spaced antennas resulting in a more professional look that room designers and architects appreciate.

• Slim Profile: Nearly invisible in any background
• Two Antennas in One: One Diversity Architectural Antenna replaces two traditional LPDA paddle antennas
• Avoid Dropouts: Eliminates the most common interference problems, thus reducing dropouts

The Diversity Architectural antenna installs in minutes, with a wall or ceiling-mounted rear plate that is pre-drilled with multiple mounting hole options.  The rear plate then simply connects to the front plate, secured with the included mounting screws.  Simply connect the two rear-mounted BNC terminated coaxial cables to your in-wall or in-ceiling coaxial cable run and the Diversity Architectural is ready for use.

The Diversity Architectural antenna builds on the highly acclaimed Diversity Fin, eliminating the most common signal dropouts caused by changes in angle and orientation of the RF signal.  Ideally suited for conference rooms, multi-purpose meeting spaces, training rooms, and houses of worship, the Diversity Architectural fits into any interior design and delivers professional RF performance in a sleek industrially designed enclosure. 

Product Setup

The Diversity Architectural Antenna takes minutes to install, with its rear-mounted plate that comes pre-drilled with multiple options for a mounting hole. The rear plate easily connects to the front plate and is secured with screws. Then, all you need to do to finish installing this antenna system for wireless microphones is connect the two rear-mounted BNC-terminated coaxial cables to your coaxial cable run and the Diversity Architectural Antenna.
