Hi,
We’re looking at enhancing our Radio Mic provision at our annual Pantomime plus other events.
Currently we own 1 Trantec VHF lapel and 1 Trantec VHF handheld, plus we borrow random sets from contacts in the area including two Sennheiser UHF G1 (100Series?). However we have great problems with them interfering with each other so we’re looking at getting a whole new set of 12. I’m pretty much committed to the Audio Technica ATW-3110A/P1 sets, but I’d like to run them through a distribution system with one pair of Antennae. (I’ve simplified our situation to avoid unnecessary confusion, hence why we’re committed to this model or something of very similar price – around £310 each)
From my current research including speaking to a local Audio/Visual company, I’m thinking I need four ATW-DA49’s (4:1 UHF Distribution Amp) to run the 12 sets off one pair of antennae; I firstly thought I only needed three, which would give me 12 outputs, but I don’t think there’s a loop through? So I’m thinking the first DA49 would have the Antennae connected to its A/B inputs, and three of its A/B outputs would be connected to the A/B inputs on the other three DA49’s? (Thus running the distribution in parallel, rather than serially linking them one to the next?) I’ll probably run separate power packs for each DA49 then I don’t lose everything if one goes. I’m also thinking of getting the ATW-A49 extended Antennae to bring them outside of the (wooden) rack.
Can anyone confirm that this all looks correct?
Cheers,
Peter
