Engineered for high-performance audio environments, the DISTRO4 ensures optimal signal clarity and consistency, making it ideal for complex setups in live sound, broadcast, and other demanding applications.

Product Overview

The DISTRO4 is a versatile and robust antenna distribution system that facilitates the splitting and distribution of RF signals from two remotely mounted antennas to multiple wireless receivers. This active splitter is housed in a durable all-metal 1-RU rackmount chassis, ensuring reliability and durability in various professional settings.

Key Features and Design

• Active Antenna Splitter
  • Signal Splitting: The DISTRO4 is designed to split RF signals from two antennas and distribute them across up to five wireless receivers. This functionality allows for consistent signal distribution across multiple receivers, reducing signal loss and improving overall audio performance.
  • High Performance: The system maintains high signal integrity and minimizes noise and interference, ensuring clear and reliable communication for wireless microphones and other RF equipment.
• Construction
  • All-Metal Chassis: The unit features a robust all-metal construction, providing durability and shielding against external interference. The 1-RU rackmount design ensures compatibility with standard 19-inch equipment racks, making it easy to integrate into existing setups.
  • Rackmount Design: Its compact 1-RU size allows for efficient use of rack space, making it a suitable choice for both portable and permanent installations.
• Connectivity
  • BNC Cables: The DISTRO4 includes ten BNC cables that facilitate the splitting and distribution of the RF signal. These cables ensure that the signal is transmitted accurately between the antennas and receivers.
  • DC Jumpers: Four DC jumpers are included with the system, providing power to up to four wireless receivers directly from the DISTRO4. This feature simplifies the power setup and reduces the need for additional power supplies.
  • Cascade Port: The unit features a cascade port that allows for the connection of a fifth receiver with an external power supply. Additionally, this port can be used to link multiple DISTRO4 units together, expanding the system to accommodate additional receivers if needed.

Applications
