RF Venue has introduced Combine6 HDR (High Dynamic Range), its next-generation antenna combiner for wireless in-ear monitor (IEM) system transmitters. The design of the HDR series claims higher performance and supports a higher channel count in less rack space.
For performers, sound engineers and audience, wireless IEMs solve a range of live sound challenges, but dropouts and interference can turn wireless IEMs into a nightmare problem on their own. The culprits are typically antenna farms, where multiple IEM transmitters can create a mess of signals with accompanying intermodulation distortion and noise.
Designed and built to advanced standards at RF Venue’s US facility, Combine6 HDR is a compact, half-rack unit that can combine up to six IEM transmitter signals into one to feed via a single external antenna. Combine6 HDR easily connects to a second unit for a total of 12 IEM channels in a single rack unit space.
‘Every day we work with audio professionals and bands on optimising IEM systems,’ says RF Venue Chief Innovation Officer, Chris Regan. ‘What most people don’t realise is how much of an audio improvement you can really hear when you improve your RF set-up. The Combine6 HDR achieves high performance in a small half-rack footprint. It has room for the whole band, fits a flypack, and has expansion if you ever need it.’
Tested to rigorous standards, Combine6 HDR claims reduce noise due to intermodulation distortion and enhanced performance of wireless mics sharing the same RF spectrum as IEMs.
Shipping now at a MAP of US$1,499, the Combine6 HDR is also available in turnkey 6 Channel In-Ear Monitor Packs with either RF Venue’s CP Beam Antenna or visually unobtrusive CP Architectural Antenna and all needed system cabling.
The Combine6 HDR is in line in both form and function with RF Venue’s new Distro5 HDR half-rack antenna distribution system for wireless microphones.
