Audio-Technica 8-Channel In-Ear Monitor Upgrade Pack with COMBINE8 / Antenna / Cables 470 to 608 Megahertz

The RF Venue 8-Channel In-Ear Monitor Upgrade Pack contains a COMBINE8 8-channel IEM transmitter combiner, a CP Beam helical antenna, and a 25' low-loss RG8X coaxial antenna cable. With components engineered to work seamlessly together, this complete professional system enables you to combine signals from up to 8 IEM transmitters into a single helical antenna to effortlessly improve the RF and audio performance of your multi-channel wireless in-ear monitor system.

The package includes a CP Beam Antenna with a stand mount and an N-BNC connector, a COMBINE8 Antenna Combiner, eight BNC jumpers, an auxiliary DC cable with eight outputs, an AC power cable, and a 25-foot RG8X BNC cable.

1x RF Venue COMBINE8 8-Channel IEM Transmitter Combiner (470 to 608 MHz)

The COMBINE8 IEM combiner brings together up to eight in-ear monitor transmitter signals into a single, more powerful transmit antenna, eliminating the use of problematic multiple antennas while lowering the buildup of unwanted Intermodulation.

1x RF Venue CP Beam Antenna

The CP Beam™ Antenna is a lightweight, circularly polarized antenna that doesn’t drop out and is designed to ensure a consistent signal with in-ear monitors (IEMs), wireless microphone systems, and other UHF communication devices. The CP Beam is easy to set up and transport – fitting in most 2ru rack drawers and weighing just 2.5 lbs – and compresses for easy storage. Unlike other bulky helical antennas that require flight cases, the CP Beam is quickly deployed and stowed.

1x 25' RG8X BNC cable

RF Venue provides premium, made in USA, low loss, 50Ω RG8X coaxial cable with BNC male connectors for wireless audio applications. Coaxial cabling can make the difference between flawless RF performance and total system failure. Even the slightest crimp or ding in coaxial cable can cause signals to drop sharply or short out.

Features:

• RF Venue COMBINE8 8-Channel IEM Transmitter Combine:
  • Freedom to place one directional antenna outside the rack for better line-of-sight and improved wireless performance.
