Frequency Coordination - Lectrosonics Venue Installation Manual

Venue Receiver-Quick Start Guide
Intermodulation interference is a problem constantly
lurking in the background, especially when working in
environments were multiple productions are taking place
simultaneously in relative close proximity. In these
cases, proper frequency coordination is a must. There
are basically three methods coordinate frequencies:

Because the Venue System includes one to six Receiver
Modules per unit, each unit can handle up to six inde-
pendent wireless channels. Considering that multiple
Venue Systems can be used in a production, coordinat-
ing frequencies to minimize interference between these
channels can be a daunting process.
The Compatible Frequency Chart was designed to assist
in minimizing intermodulation problems for multiple
channel wireless systems. It does this by identifying
potential intermodulation problems and listing compatible

frequencies and frequency groups. This chart can be
used with all Digital Hybrid Wireless
receivers.
The Compatible Frequency Chart divides the frequency
blocks used in the North American market into Row 1
and Row 2, then further divides each row into two groups
of eight frequencies each. These frequency groups are
labeled A and B and C and D, and correspond to the
factory set frequency groups (Groups A, B, C and D)
described in the Tuning Setup Screen. (See Compatible
Frequency Chart.)
Understanding and using the Compatible Frequency
Chart is not as difficult as it first appears. There are a
few basic rules to follow:
Refer to the Compatibility Frequency Chart's Compatible and
Incompatible frequency combinations. (Only frequency blocks 21
and 22 are shown for illustrative purposes.)
Rule No. 1
Row 1 and Row 2 live in two different worlds. The
frequencies in Row 1 are not compatible with the fre-
