Wouldn't you rather talk about DMARC? ;-)
I have the following wireless equipment. ... So the issue we think we have is range issue. Can I buy a high gain directional antenna and a splitter and run cables to each of the devices(single antenna array)? Or do I need to have the mic's and IEM's use 2 separate antenna's since one is send and one is receive? Or do I need to have every system use a separate antenna?
Splitters cost power; as much as 1/2 of your power can be lost when using them.
Directional antennas are a double-edged sword: you get /some/added gain in /some/ direction, but they are never perfect, and will tend to leave dead spots in odd places.
I suggest you start simply: elevate the transmitters and receivers above the floor as much as you can, for example, by placing them on top of emergency lights. Try to get wireless mic receivers out in the middle of the crowd instead of on the stage: they work better when tied to ceiling-mounted video projectors in the middle of the room.
Let us know how well that works. Simplest is always better. Bill -- Bill Horne William Warren Consulting 339-364-8487 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
