Venue 2 Wideband Receiver

Introduction

The Venue 2 Wideband receiver is a modular rack
mount design for use with a wide variety of transmit-
ters from Lectrosonics and other manufacturers. The
VRM is a modular solution that effectively deals with
a congested RF pectrum with a varieyt of options that
allows a system configuration to be idealized for a
particular installation or application. The receiver is
comprised of several components including the master
rack mount host assembly, up to six receiver modules,
built-in antenna multicoupler with loop-thru output and
software for setup and control.
The Host Assembly
The Venue 2 mainframe assembly houses the power
supply, the antenna and RF distribution, the user
interface and control ports for up to six receiver
modules. With the modules sharing these resources,
a significantly lower cost per channel is realized with
no sacrifice in performance or quality. The built-in RF
multicoupler allows up to three mainframes to operate
from a single pair of antennas, for an additional cost
savings in a multi-channel system.
Built-in Antenna Multicoupler
Another benefit of the VRM2 design is the inclusion of
a high quality antenna multicoupler that utilizes high
current RF amplifiers and a Wilkinson type splitter for
even signal distrubution and high isolation between
receiver modules. The multicoupler is a dual 1 in, 7 out
splitter with six outputs for the recevier modules and
an additional output as a "loop-thru" for another Venue
receiver. This allows multiple Venue receivers to opre-
ate from a single pair of antennas. Phantom power for
remote antenna amplifiers is available from the multi-
coupler antenna inputs via menu selection.
Wireless Designer Software
The software provides an overall view of the
system, including all mainframes connect-
ed. The display is scalable to fit and screen
size and several color themes are provided.
Frequency coordination is fast and thorough. Scan
data may be imported and used in the coordination.
When individual carriers are moved manually, compat-
ibility is instantly recalculated and displayed.
