RF Venue has announced the debut of the DISTRO5 HDR, a next-generation antenna and power distribution system for any brand or model of wireless microphone system that uses low-noise figure amplifiers and an optimized gain structure to deliver high dynamic range (HDR).
“Our HDR series of products set a new standard of performance with higher channel counts in less rack space for the best value in wireless audio,” says RF Venue chief innovation officer Chris Regan.
Designed and built in RF Venue’s USA facility, the DISTRO5 HDR provides 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 to RF signal distribution across the 470-698 MHz band, the DISTRO5 HDR is a power distribution system for wireless microphone receivers or other 12-volt DC rack equipment. The available Octopus power cable uses the DISTRO5’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 has 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 — the Diversity Fin, Diversity Omni, or the new Diversity Architectural Antenna — along with all cabling needed for a smooth install.
