WMS 4000 16-CHANNEL SETUP

EXAMPLE: 16-CHANNEL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE USE

Although most venues are equipped with fixed wireless installations, special perfor- mances frequently require specific mobile systems. The reasons for this may vary, but the basic requirements are the same: a high- performance wireless system in a portable rack, whose audio signals can be fed to the local system simply through a multicore cable. Key prerequisites are minimum space requirements, quick cabling and clearly arranged controls.

Our example is a mobile 16-channel system for a musical performance. Apart from trans-

mitters and receivers, it comprises antenna splitters and power supply units, thus mini- mizing the necessary amount of antenna, power and DC cables.

Especially the amount of power feeder cables was substantially reduced, since four anten- na splitters, 16 receivers and active anten- nas, as well as one spare antenna splitter and four spare receivers, were powered by only two PSU 4000 power supply units.

By daisy-chaining the antenna splitters, all antenna cable runs were kept within the

rack. Just two antenna cables and two power cables were connected to the rack. By com- parison, the IVM 1 In-ear Monitor System also installed in the rack, with just two chan- nels, needed the same amount of feeders as a 16 (or 20) channel wireless system.

Apart from the convenient and space-saving arrangement, this setup helped to achieve a pleasant “side effect” as it substantially reduced hum from power cables.

The Vienna Konzerthaus

Along with the Vienna State Opera and the Golden Musikvereinssaal (concert hall), the Vienna Konzerthaus is one of the most famous venues in Vienna. The Vienna Konzerthaus increasingly stages non-classical performan- ces, such as musicals or rock concerts. Its many years of cooperation with AKG have resulted in optimum sound for widely differing requirements.
