VR Field

		Portable Six Channel Modular Receiver The wideband design provides the flexibility to deal with a congested RF spectrum in any field or studio environment by changing receiver modules. No tools are required to remove and install the modules. The receiver is comprised of these components: The master host assembly Up to six receiver modules Built-in antenna multicoupler with loop-thru output LecNet2 software for setup and control

A high quality antenna multicoupler is included in the receiver to ensure ideal signal distribution and isolation between modules and to reduce overall size and complexity. The multicoupler is actually a 1-in/7-out splitter which provides six outputs for the receiver modules and an additional output as a "loop thru" for another Venue receiver. A single pair of broadband antennas can feed several receivers connected with coaxial cable over a wide range of frequencies. Phantom power for remote antenna amplifiers can be turned on and off with internal jumpers.

The front panel provides an easy-to-use LCD interface for setup, and provisions for quick monitoring to assist in troubleshooting. In normal operation, the LCD shows RF and audio levels, diversity status, pilot tone status (where applicable) and transmitter battery status (when available) for all six receivers at the same time. Individual screens for each receiver are also available to provide additional information and setup adjustments. A headphone jack and level control is provided for individual channel monitoring. The NP1-type battery compartment is just below the LCD.

The rear panel provides six balanced audio outputs on standard XLR connectors, 50 ohm BNC antenna inputs, 50 ohm BNC antenna outputs from the built in zero-gain multi-coupler, power jack with a locking connector, USB port and RS-232 serial port for the computer interface. The assembly is powered from an external source of 10 to 18 VDC for a wide variety of applications in stage, studio and mobile applications. The power cable can also be used with an external distribution module to power the receiver and other devices simultaneously.

Digital Hybrid Wireless® is a revolutionary new design that combines digital audio with an analog FM radio link to provide outstanding audio quality and the exemplary RF performance of the finest analog wireless systems. This overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog compandor. Instead, it is a technique which can be accomplished only in the digital domain. The process eliminates compandor artifacts, expanding the applications to include test and measurement of acoustic spaces and musical instruments.
