Hinweis der Redaktion
- Our best-selling antenna product is the Diversity Fin. Diversity Fin is designed to work with wireless microphones, and effectively replaces (2) paddle antennas and reduces dropouts caused by polarization signal fading, which is highly common indoors. It incorporates two separate antennas, positioned 90 degrees from one another- a directional LPDA and a bi-directional dipole antenna.
- The LPDA antenna is vertically polarized, while the dipole antenna is horizontally polarized This reduces dropouts indoors due to angle and orientation changes in the RF signal. Polarization of RF signals from wireless microphones ranges widely, particularly when microphones are moving around. The Diversity Fin ensures that within range, your wireless microphone receivers will always have vertical or horizontal polarization covered. This results in less switching between A and B, and ultimately, better audio.
- The CP Beam is a unique folding helical antenna that works very well for in-ear monitors in a transmit application. It is also a great option for higher gain / longer range wireless microphone systems. The lightweight, foldable design allows users to neatly pack the CP Beam into a rack drawer and save significant space for their wireless kits.
- Deployment of ten CP Beams (seven pictured here) at Country Music Awards 2015 in Nashville, TN, USA
- The RF Spotlight is a unique near-field, floorpad antenna that reduces interference in crowded RF environments. 48 centimeters in diameter, the RF Spotlight is designed to be placed in the area where you will be using your wireless microphones, such as near the stage or even underneath a stage deck. It has a hemispherical pickup pattern that captures RF signals within the stage area, but will not receive signals at a distance or at high angle (like TV transmitters or third party microphones in the venue). The result is a dramatic reduction in noise at the wireless microphone receiver, and many more open channels for configuring a multi-channel wireless system.
- Here is a scan from the busy trade show floor at InfoComm in Las Vegas, through a typical gain antenna such as a paddle. Here we see a number of narrow band wireless microphones in the area, along with some wider digital TV signals. This type of environment can “crowd out” your wireless system with noise and third party interference sources, leaving you limited open channels for configuring your system.
- When the same scan is done using the RF Spotlight, we see nearly all of the third party noise disappear from the signal. This opens up dozens more channels for configuring a multi-channel wireless system, simply by physically isolating reception to the stage area with the Spotlight. This makes RF Spotlight an excellent choice for crowded RF environments.
- *RF Spotlight Antenna links to RF spotlight and Band-pass filter demo video* RF Venue band-pass filters help eliminate "out of band" signals that can saturate the front end of wireless microphone receivers and can greatly improve dynamic range by reducing noise and third party interference in the range of operation. Featuring industry standard BNC connectors and a small 3" x 1.75" footprint. These hand-tuned band-pass filters require no power or user configuration. Just connect them in-line with your wireless microphone remote antennas for 40 dB of side rejection outside of the available 500-550 or 550-600 MHz ranges.
- Similar to the Spotlight is the CX22 ceiling antenna for wireless microphones. For installed audio systems with drop ceiling rooms, the CX22 is an excellent option to isolate reception between rooms. CX22 comes with a hardware installation kit and can be easily mounted to any ceiling tile.
- The DISTRO4 is a four channel antenna distributor for wireless microphone systems. It features cascade ports for connecting multiple DISTRO4 units together, as well as an internal power supply and all cables required for four channels. DISTRO4 is competitively priced in the wireless category and its feature set compares to the Shure UA845 but at the price of the UA844. DC power for remote powering active antennas and in-line amplifiers can be set with an internal switch.
- COMBINE4 is a four channel in-ear monitor transmitter combiner. Compatible across wireless brands, the COMBINE4 provides high quality RF distribution for IEM systems at a competitive price.
- Both DISTRO4 and COMBINE4 are available in pre-packaged bundles and at a discount. So a single SKU, ‘DFINDISTRO4’ contains a Diversity Fin, DISTRO4, and (2) high quality RG8X coax cables. These bundles price out competitively and are among our best selling products. For resellers that sell a high volume of wireless microphones, these bundles are a convenient way to ‘single source’ wireless mic accessories to avoid stocking or sourcing a wide range of cables, antennas, and distribution equipment.
- The Optix RF to fiber optic conversion system converts RF signals from antennas into an optical signals, and then converts from optical back to RF for further distribution. This allows existing fiber cabling in buildings or on live events to transmit RF signals over long distances with no appreciable loss. Optix units that are currently shipping feature BNC RF connectors and ST optical connectors. Optix is particularly popular for large corporate events or for broadcast and location sound applications, where fiber systems are widely deployed for video signal distribution.
- This diagram shows single channel and dual channel Optix configurations. Dual channel is required for diversity microphone applications. Note extra attenuation is required for high level RF signals such as in-ear monitors and IFBs, but Optix works great as-is for receive applications like wireless microphones.

- The RackPRO is a standalone spectrum analysis tool designed to live in the rack with your wireless system. RackPRO allows you to immediately view the facility’s RF environment from the front panel display, and toggle through frequency span settings. The included Clear Waves software for PC allows you to connect to RackPRO via USB and control the unit from a software interface. In Clear Waves, you can perform intermodulation calculations to generate frequency sets to configure a multi-channel wireless system. Clear Waves can also export CSV data compatible with Shure’s Wireless Workbench.
- The 4 ZONE antenna combiner takes the complexity out of multi-zone wireless microphone projects With selectable ON/OFF inputs, 4 ZONE 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 onsite. When used in conjunction with up to four Diversity Fin Antennas and one or more DISTRO4 antenna distributors, 4 ZONE completes a turnkey package for any multi-zone wireless microphone project.
- Vantage is RF Venue’s own native Mac OS X software for RF scanning, monitoring, and data export. Vantage is an easy to use application designed for fast scanning and monitoring of wireless mics and IEMs, as well as to capture RF scan data for import to Wireless Workbench. Vantage works with our RackPRO analyzer as well as the popular low cost RF Explorer handheld series of spectrum analyzers. A 14 day free trial is available on RFVenue.com
