RF Venue has introduced the DISTRO5 HDR, a next-generation antenna and power distribution platform for any brand or model wireless microphone system.
Building on the DISTRO4, it uses low noise figure amplifiers and an optimized gain structure to deliver high dynamic range (HDR) across the 470-698 MHz band.
“Our HDR series of products,” says RF Venue chief innovation officer Chris Regan, “set a new standard of performance with higher channel counts in less rack space for the best value in wireless audio.”
Designed and built at RF Venue’s USA facility, the DISTRO5 HDR delivers buffered antenna signals to up to five channels of wireless mic receivers from a half-rack footprint and allows up to nine channels in a 1RU space from a pair of cascaded DISTRO5 HDRs. Multiple DISTRO5 HDR units can be cascaded together for higher channel counts.
In addition, the DISTRO5 HDR can serve as a power distribution system for wireless microphone receivers or other 12-volt DC rack equipment. The available Octopus power cable uses the unit’s internal power supply to provide up to 5 amps of DC current to power devices, eliminate wall warts and save rack space. The DISTRO5 HDR also offers a 12-volt DC power input for battery-powered operation for mobile sound cart applications.
Shipping now at a MAP of $899, the DISTRO5 HDR is also available in turnkey 5 Channel Wireless Mic Packs with one of RF Venue’s antennas such as the Diversity Fin, Diversity Omni or the new Diversity Architectural Antenna – along with all cabling needed to install.
