WIRELESS SYSTEMS / APPLICATION 7
16-channel wireless system using daisy chain
If you require significant UHF flexibility for touring or are simply in need of a reliable wireless system with exceptional audio quality, the 5000 Series is ideal. Here the 5000 Series is used to achieve a 16-way system. This type of setup is commonly found in music festivals, touring rigs, or in smaller installations for theatre, sports and conferencing. This is an alternative option to Application 6, consider both systems to determine which better suits the requirements. Based around the 5000 Series, the key to this solution is the powerful antenna distribution amplifier built into the ATW-R5220 Dual Receiver. As seen in the diagram, the ATW-A49a antennas connect directly to the receivers without the need to pass through any external distribution units. Each ATW-R5220 then passes the RF signal along to the next receiver in a daisy-chain configuration. With this, up to eight dual-channel receivers can be combined in a simple and efficient way, providing 16 channels of wireless audio. Pay special attention to the cable run in the diagram. The first antenna signal has been connected to the first receiver, passing down to the eighth receiver; meanwhile, the second antenna signal starts at the eighth receiver and works upwards. This method affords a degree of redundancy, as should any one receiver lose power the remaining units will continue to receive RF signal from at least one antenna. Refer to the notes in Application 1 for advice on specifying cable length, active antennas and boosters in the cable run.
This Application can be combined with Application 2 and is essential to Application 8. The compatible Audio-Technica wireless system for this solution is the 5000 Series.
