AD224 - 4-WAY Diversity Antenna Distribution System - Custom Tuned in bands (IN STOCK)
AD224 is a custom design 4-way Antenna Distribution System for Diversity Receivers for portable sound bags.
Custom Tuned RF Filtering:
RF filtering eliminates unwanted signals, only allowing those within the RF Bandpass filter bandwidth. This protects receivers from interference and ensures reliable RF reception.
- One pair of antennae feeds up to four diversity receivers
- Built-in band-pass filtering and signal splitters
- Remote antenna powering
- User-adjustable system gain +6dB to -10dB
- Industry standard connectors
- Intuitive TFT display menu and LED indicators
- Master ON-OFF switch
- Continuous system Voltmeter
- Soft ON/OFF switch for each individual Remote Antenna powering
- CNC-machined aluminium custom design, lightweight and rugged - fits neatly in any sound bag
The AD224 is an active antenna distribution system equipped with custom-tuned bandpass filters that provide high selectivity and minimal insertion loss. It replaces multiple receiver antennas, offering a compact solution that enhances RF performance. Additionally, its advanced filtering capabilities clean up noisy RF signals before they reach diversity receivers.
Selective front-end filtering is crucial in today’s crowded spectrum to guard against unwanted signals. The AD224 is designed for portable sound bag applications where weight and size are critical without sacrificing performance. Inputs are standard BNC connectors; outputs are 2x4 mini-RF SMA connectors for diversity receivers.
Selective front-end filtering is essential in today's crowded frequency spectrum to protect against unwanted signals. The AD224 is specifically designed for portable sound bag applications, prioritising lightweight and compact design without compromising performance. It features standard BNC connectors for inputs and two 4-pin mini-RF SMA connectors for outputs, catering to diversity receivers.
Powered externally (10–18Vdc) via a Hirose-compatible connector, it includes a voltmeter for monitoring voltage. Audio wireless antenna distribution, antenna combiners, and high-gain LPDA antennas are now preferred by freelance sound engineers, rental companies, and broadcasters for wireless applications.
