Description

The RF Venue Diversity Fin antenna is a highly effective and versatile solution designed to enhance the reliability and performance of wireless microphone systems. Its sleek black design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional, making it an essential tool for various professional audio applications. The antenna utilizes a sophisticated cross-polarized hybrid design that significantly reduces signal dropouts and improves overall audio clarity.

Design and Features

The Diversity Fin incorporates a proprietary cross-polarized hybrid design, which is central to its performance:

• Hybrid Antenna Configuration: The antenna features a combination of one Log Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) and one dipole antenna, arranged in an orthogonal (right-angle) configuration. This setup allows the antenna to capture signals from both vertical and horizontal polarizations simultaneously.
  • LPDA: This element is designed to capture vertically polarized waves, providing robust signal reception from signals that are transmitted in a vertical plane.
  • Dipole Antenna: This component captures horizontally polarized waves, ensuring effective reception of signals transmitted in a horizontal plane.

The integration of these two antenna types performs the same function as two separate shark-fin paddles, enhancing the antenna’s ability to receive signals from multiple orientations. This design greatly improves RF and audio performance by reducing signal dropouts and enhancing signal strength, making it ideal for various high-demand environments.

Applications

The Diversity Fin is well-suited for:

• High-Profile Live Sound Events: Its advanced design ensures reliable performance in dynamic environments where consistent audio quality is critical.
• Film and Television Productions: The antenna helps maintain clear audio throughout filming by providing stable signal reception and reducing interruptions.
• Routine Installations: Perfect for educational institutions, houses of worship, and other venues where dependable wireless audio performance is needed.

Installation and Usage

The Diversity Fin is designed for ease of installation and flexibility:

• Mounting Options: The antenna features a mounting block equipped with 1/4″-20, 3/8″-16, and 5/8″-27 threads. This versatile mounting block allows the antenna to be securely attached to a variety of stands or brackets, ensuring that it can be positioned optimally for signal reception.
• Connection: To set up the antenna, connect both the A and B outputs (coaxial cables available separately) to any compatible antenna distribution system or wireless receiver. Position the antenna towards the stage or the area where the wireless microphone system will be used to achieve the best signal reception.

Durability

• Protective Cover: The Diversity Fin is equipped with a nylon cover that provides protection against the elements, making it suitable for outdoor use. This cover helps safeguard the antenna from environmental factors such as rain, dust, and UV exposure, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

In summary, the RF Venue Diversity Fin antenna combines innovative design with practical features to deliver outstanding performance for wireless microphone systems. Its cross-polarized hybrid design, versatile mounting options, and protective nylon cover make it an excellent choice for high-profile events, professional productions, and everyday installations in various settings.
