AC244 – 4-Zone Antenna Combiner and Distribution System

More antenna coverage. More control. One professional RF platform.

The Audio Wireless AC244 is a professional 4-Zone Antenna Combiner and Distribution System developed for demanding wireless microphone workflows where RF coverage must extend across multiple antenna positions while remaining centrally controlled.

The AC244 provides eight antenna inputs, arranged as A1–A4 and B1–B4, supporting a clear diversity A/B architecture. Combined RF is presented through two Side A distribution outputs and two Side B distribution outputs.

Front-panel OLED control gives the operator direct access to antenna input settings, distribution gain, Active Antenna Power, settings lock, DC voltage monitoring and system information.

Eight front-panel status indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of antenna-input activity and Active Antenna Power status.

Why 4-Zone?

Productions increasingly require antenna coverage in more than one or two physical locations. The AC244 allows antenna positions to be deployed around a film set, studio, venue, outside-broadcast compound or other complex RF environment, while the receiver and distribution system remain centrally located.

Four-zone capability gives the sound or RF engineer greater freedom to position antennas where coverage is actually required, while retaining central front-panel control of the system.
