RF Venue has introduced Spectrum Recorder, a compact, self-contained, battery-powered portable RF spectrum scanner for capture, storage and retrieval of RF spectrum data for simplified monitoring and optimisation of wireless microphone and in-ear monitor systems. No external devices are needed for spectrum capture, no software installation is needed, and no cloud subscriptions are required for Spectrum Recorder.
Spectrum Recorder continuously captures RF activity in the 400-700MHz band, saving the data in its internal storage as time-stamped CSV files that can be retrieved via USB drive or accessed remotely over a local network.
It can be directly connected to a wireless microphone antenna system to capture an RF environment snapshot for analysis and logging. Using its supplied whip antenna, Spectrum Recorder can capture spectrum data for site survey use even before system install or load in. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) capability allows Spectrum Recorder to be deployed with an Ethernet connection – a LAN-based network of Spectrum Recorders can easily cover multiple rooms, buildings or studios.
Data can be uploaded to RF Venue’s free web-based Wireless System Builder tool for system design and frequency coordination worldwide, or imported natively to third-party software such as Shure Wireless Workbench, Sennheiser’s Wireless System Manager and Audio-Technica’s Wireless Manager.
Analysis of the spectrum activity over 24 hours is accommodated by 24 Hour Scan Data Capture mode. Max Hold and Average scan views are captured and calculated automatically. Fixed transmitters such as DTV stations can be separated from surprise interference sources with Spectrum Recorder’s Active Frequencies Scan which compiles hard to detect frequencies to help protect a wireless system from interference hits.
Spectrum Recorder, available now at a MAP of US$799, is a companion to RF Venue’s RF Explorer Pro, a touchscreen handheld RF spectrum analyser designed for wireless audio system optimisation including frequency coordination and WiFi analysis.
