RF Venue DFIND9 DISTRO9 HDR 9-Channel Antenna Distribution System

The DFIND9 is a quality-built Antenna and Distribution Bundle that's anchored by the DISTRO9 HDR along with the Diversity Fin® Antenna, plus accessories you need to provide a solid and powerful foundation for your wireless microphone system.

DISTRO9 HDR

Proudly Designed and Assembled in USA, from RF Venue — it's the DISTRO9 HDR — offering a unique approach to high-quality RF signal distribution used for wireless microphones. It's built for the rapidly-changing RF spectrum landscape worldwide, and features a newly-developed proprietary design that takes away the older internal splitters most other antenna distribution systems still employ, and replaces them with state-of-the-art "divide by three" circuitry, delivering up to 9 low-noise channels of diversity wireless. Each of the outputs is clean: the unit uses low-noise-figure amplifiers along with a superior gain structure which delivers more that 60 dB of dynamic range over the spectrum.

Its output can be cascaded to a second DISTRO9 HDR unit (additional units sold separately). This eliminates the need for dedicated cascade ports and can provide up to 17 wireless microphone channels in just 2 rack-space units.

Multizone installations are made a breeze through the use of using its 2-zone antenna inputs, which provide coverage for large areas or multiple rooms, each with available DC power for in-line amplifiers or active antennas.

It's internally-powered by a quiet, robust power supply that accepts mains input in any country, plus it offers a convenient high-current rear connector that provides several amps of DC power for receivers and other devices, depending on configuration. It's also ready for location sound cart applications and can be battery-powered (optional DC power cable kit required - sold separately).

Additionally, it delivers superior gain flatness across VHF low, VHF high T-Band and UHF and 900 MHz ranges, and low noise, making wireless microphone systems work and sound better, with fewer dropouts and noise artifacts.

Diversity Fin Antenna (DFIN)

A patented multi-purpose antenna, the Diversity Fin Antenna from RF Venue is engineered to be used with wireless microphone systems and other UHF receivers that incorporate dual-branch diversity reception. It utilizes orthogonal directional LPDA and bi-directional dipole elements in order to eliminate mulit-path fade. One of the elements captures vertically-polarized waves, and the other captures horizontally-polarized waves—thus achieving optimal polarization diversity reception and enhancing signal constancy and consistency within indoor and reflective settings.
