Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this with Lectrosonics systems and if so, how do I hook it up to my transmitter/receiver/mixer?

A: Yes, the RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna with Stand Mount for Wireless Microphone Systems is compatible for use with Lectrosonics wireless receivers operating within the 470-608MHz range. The Diversity Fin has two BNC connections onboard for connecting to corresponding receiver antenna outputs. If you are using multiple receivers, you can connect them all to a single diversity fin using an antenna distribution system. BH #RFDFINDISTRO RF Venue 4-Channel Antenna Distributor with Cloth-Covered Diversity Fin Antenna and Cables Bundle is a good option for this scenario: https://bhpho.to/34K2Fcy

Q: 2. Can it provide power for any passive antenna?

A: The Electro-Voice RFAMP Active RF Antenna Booster (470 to 960 MHz) is designed for use mainly with the Electro Voice RE3 UHF wireless microphone system. However, it could be used with other wireless systems' antennas.

Q: 3. According to the spec sheet, this antenna operates up to 698MHz. This listing says 616MHz. Which is correct?

A: This RF Venue Diversity Architectural Antenna operates in the range of 470 to 616 MHz.

Q: 4. Why does it not have a gain switch to account for the signal loss within the BNC cable?

A: The RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna with Stand Mount for Wireless Microphone Systems (Black, 470 to 698 MHz) does not include a gain feature as it is a passive antenna. Active antennas can pose risks such as overloading the RF front end of a receiver system, and you can easily overload by using an active antenna’s gain control at a setting that is disproportionally strong for the cable run’s length. A good practice would be to implement passive antennas, and then only add in-line amplifiers to make up for transmission line loss if doing very long cable runs of more than 100 feet.

Q: 5. Can you use one element at a time in non-diversity mode? E.G. I want to use only the LDPA antenna on occassion

A: Yes, you can use one element at a time because there are separate A and B outputs on the RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna with Stand Mount for Wireless Microphone Systems (Black, 470 to 698 MHz).

Q: 6. Do you need to buy 2 of these or will 1 work? How many wireless receivers will 1 antenna supply RF for?

A: There are two antennae (omni and directional) in the RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna with Stand Mount for Wireless Microphone Systems, with two BNC output connections, so a single unit will serve the function of two antennae. The number of receivers relies on implementing an appropriate antenna distribution system and is usually between 1-8 receivers.

Q: 7. Combining the rf 100-4400 mm lens with a canon r and a rf 1.4 tele extender, will auto exposure and auto focus work?

A: Yes it supports AF when used with the 1.4x teleconverter.

Q: 8. Is this an active or passive antenna?

A: Passive

Q: 9. What are the dimensions?

A: This is a single space rack unit that measures 480 x 45 x 250 mm.

Q: 10. Can you combine IEM and IFB RF signals of different output strengths? For instance I have a Lectrosonics M2T that has two output carriers of 50mw each. and a Lectrosonics T4 IFB transmitter that outputs 250mw. Can I combine them all with this to a single antenna?

A: It is possible to use transmitters with different power output levels with the RF Venue COMBINE4 - 4-Channel Antenna Combiner. This combiner is a unity device that does not affect or change the output strength of the transmitters connected. It does, however, have a maximum input level of 100mW and would not be compatible for use with a transmitter pushing 250mW such as the Lectrosonics IFBT4.
