RF Venue has announced the Diversity Architectural Antenna, a new system component for wireless microphones that offers the core capabilities of the company’s Diversity Fin Antenna in a ‘virtually invisible’ footprint.
In aesthetically sensitive installations, the cross-polarised Diversity Architectural Antenna offers an unobtrusive, high-performance solution to the problem of wireless microphone signal dropouts, multipath interference and IMD issues plaguing the use of separate paddle antenna pairs. The new antenna provides an elegant solution for integrators developing A/V systems for houses of worship, schools corporate conference and training rooms, and other smaller, indoor multi-purpose venues.
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, delivering a true diversity solution that can be hidden in plain sight. With its patent-pending, dual-feed antenna design, both A and B diversity connections are provided, eliminating the need to install two spaced antennae.
‘The Diversity Architectural Antenna was developed to meet the needs of customers who rely on the performance of our Diversity Fin Antenna but need to be sensitive to aesthetics,’ says RF Venue President, Chris Regan. ‘As we’ve shared early details with our clients, they’ve been hugely enthusiastic, calling out the easy installation of a single antenna that replaces two conventional wall-mount antennas and the sleek, low-profile industrial design that doesn’t look industrial. They are excited to have a high-performing diversity antenna option that delivers dropout-free reception yet won’t draw attention to itself in corporate, educational and worship environments where looks matter as much as performance.’
When bundled with RF Venue’s Distro4 or Distro9 HDR RF distribution systems, the Diversity Architectural Antenna completes the solution to RF issues for wireless microphone systems of any brand or model, regardless of the microphone transmitters’ vertical or horizontal orientation.
The Diversity Architectural Antenna comes mounting plates and all necessary hardware provided. Connecting an in-wall or in-ceiling coaxial cable pair to the rear-mounted BNC jacks completes the installation. The flexible installation kit is designed to accommodate multiple mounting configurations including junction boxes, sheet rock, studs and ceiling tiles.
The Diversity Architectural Antenna is available beginning June 2022, at a MAP of US$599.
