• Highly expandable, up to 25 channels - cascade from any output
• Power up to 8 receivers with DC-OCTOPUS

The Diversity Fin IPX Antenna is the next evolution of RF Venue’s industry-standard flagship. Engineered to provide the same legendary performance as the original Diversity Fin, the IPX version is built to withstand the rigors of the road and the unpredictability of the outdoor elements.

• IP44 Rated: IPX is Rated IP44, featuring a weather-resistant seal and downward-facing BNC connectors to protect against rain and dust. 
• Patented Cross-Polarized Design: Replaces two traditional "shark fin" paddle antennas with a single, high-performance unit that reduces cost, setup time, and user error. 
• Superior Signal Integrity: Designed specifically to combat multi-path interference, vastly reducing dropouts and providing a more stable RF environment for wireless microphones.
• Built for the Road: Ruggedized enclosure with newly designed watertight threaded dipole antennas that can withstand impact. Designed to survive touring, festivals, and permanent outdoor installs.
• Versatile Mounting: Durable Twist Lock 5/8”-27 threaded microphone stand mount (EU adapter included). Need to wall-mount? We've designed a new universal wall-mount bracket system that can be purchased separately.
• High Compatibility: Operates across 470–928 MHz—compatible with nearly all modern wireless microphone systems.

Whether deployed in the harsh environments of touring and rental systems or as part of a permanent outdoor installation, the Diversity Fin IPX Antenna delivers a consistently reliable wireless microphone signal. Its robust design effectively eliminates multi-path interference and signal dropouts. This is achieved by combining log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) and a dipole antenna within a single, IP-rated ruggedized housing, allowing the IPX to capture both vertical and horizontal signals. 

The Diversity Fin IPX Antenna is designed to operate between 470 and 928 MHz. This range covers North American UHF band frequencies 470-698 MHz, European 823-832 and 863-865 MHz bands and the 902-928 MHz ISM band. 

The Diversity Fin IPX Antenna is best set up facing edgewise, with the narrow most part of the antenna being aimed toward the wireless microphones. On the left side of the antenna are the labeled LPDA and Dipole antenna outputs; plug both of these BNC outputs into your wireless microphone receiver or Distro to achieve diversity with your wireless microphones. For best results, maintain line of sight between the antenna and the wireless microphones.

The DISTRO5 HDR is RF Venue's newest and highest performance antenna and power distribution platform for any brand wireless microphone system. Building on the success of the DISTRO4, the DISTRO5 HDR delivers even better RF performance in a compact half-rack footprint. Multiple DISTRO5s can be cascaded together using the included joining plate hardware and available premium interconnect cable packages for up to 9 channels of wireless mics in a 1RU space.

• 470-698 MHz Operating Band
• 5A 12V DC Power Output
• 1/2 Rack with Connecting Plate
• 5 Pairs of Diversity RF Outputs

More Mic Channels, Higher Performance, in Less Rack Space

In addition to clean, low noise RF signal distribution across the 470-698 MHz band, the DISTRO5 HDR is a highly capable power distribution system for powering wireless microphone receivers or other 12V DC rack equipment. The available Octopus power cable uses the DISTRO5's robust internal power supply to provide up to 5 amps of DC power to rack devices, eliminating wall warts and the need for dedicated rack power distribution. The DISTRO5 HDR also features a 12V DC power input for battery power operation for mobile sound cart applications. [Made in USA]

The DISTRO5 HDR is a part of RF Venue's new High Dynamic Range (HDR) series of products designed and built in the company's new US manufacturing facility.

• Enjoy crystal-clear signal distribution: The DISTRO5 HDR ensures reliable and clean distribution for all your wireless microphones across the 470-698 MHz band.
• Expand your setup seamlessly: Connect up to 9 wireless mics in a single 1RU space by cascading two DISTRO5 HDR units with the included hardware and optional interconnect cables.
• Unleash 5 amps of clean DC power: Utilize the optional Octopus cable to power up to 8 of your wireless microphone receivers and other compatible 12V DC rack equipment.
• Battery ready: Power your system seamlessly with the 12V DC power input
