Technical description

The MRK960 is a professional dual diversity receiver for wireless microphones reception especially designed
for broadcast production, live stages, theatres and top professional applications.
It's winning performances are:
High immunity on strong rf environment
•
Huge switching bandwidth
•
High audio performances and flexibility thanks to the digital processors
•
High reliability and durability
•
One of the milestones in the design of the MRK960 is high reliability: most of the circuitry of the receiver is
independent one from each other.
Here below a schematic with an overview of main receiver functions.
Starting from the antenna inputs, each antenna could be indipendently powered from a single power regula-
tor monitored from the microcontroller.
For each antenna the RF signal is splitted in the receiver 1 and in the receiver 2 (antenna A and antenna B)
with a wide band splitter. In this way any one receiver could be tuned in any frequency of the switching range
(370 MHz).
Receiver 1 and 2 are true diversity receivers: each one is made of two receivers tuned on the same frequency,
hereafter called section A and section B. The receiver 1 section A and the receiver 2 section A are connected
to the antenna A, the receiver 1 section B and the receiver 2 section B are connected at the antenna B.
Each receiver has its own demodulated signal and its own RSSI signal (Receiver Signal Strenght Indication); a
microcontroller select or combine signals from section A & B to have the best audio. The demodulated signal
flows to the digital audio processor.
