AUDIO WIRELESS AC244

BUILT FOR PROFESSIONAL MULTI-ZONE RF WORKFLOWS

AC244 brings four-zone antenna combining, A/B RF distribution, adjustable gain, Active Antenna Power and system monitoring together in one professional platform. It is designed for productions where RF coverage must extend beyond a single antenna position without sacrificing central control.

EXTEND RF COVERAGE

Deploy antenna zones where the production needs them instead of being tied to one receiver location.

CENTRALISE CONTROL

Configure principal operating functions from the AC244 front panel rather than repeatedly accessing the rear of the RF rack.

ADAPT TO THE JOB

Use the same RF platform across film sets, outside broadcasts, live events, rental packages and fixed installations.

WHY ZONE-4?

Large, complex or obstructed production environments often require antenna positions in several locations. AC244 is designed to make that multi-zone deployment practical while retaining a clear diversity A/B signal architecture.

• Zone 1: Primary set, sound cart or main production area
• Zone 2: Second room, stage position, corridor or adjacent location
• Zone 3: Additional coverage for difficult geometry, distance or obstructions
• Zone 4: A fourth antenna location without moving the receiver rack or rebuilding the RF distribution

SIGNAL-PATH CONCEPT

A clear A/B diversity architecture keeps system connection straightforward even when antenna positions are distributed around the production.

• A1 · A2 · A3 · A4 (Antenna inputs) → COMBINER A (Controlled RF path) → A OUT 1 · A OUT 2 (Distribution outputs)
• B1 · B2 · B3 · B4 (Antenna inputs) → COMBINER B (Controlled RF path) → B OUT 1 · B OUT 2 (Distribution outputs)

REAL AC244 OLED CONTROL PAGES

The AC244 OLED interface provides clear access to antenna input control, distribution gain, Active Antenna Power, settings lock, DC voltage and system information.

• System Ready: Welcome, configured RF range and system status
• Antenna Input — Side A: Direct control of A1–A4 and ALL
• Distribution Gain — Side A: Displayed gain settings from +10 dB to −21 dB
• Active Antenna Power: Control active-antenna powering on enabled channels
• Settings Lock: Protect the current configuration against unintended adjustment
• DC Voltage: Monitor the input supply and protection state directly from the front panel

• Antenna control: Enable or disable individual A/B antenna inputs from the OLED interface
• Distribution gain: Adjust the displayed gain target in 1 dB steps within the configured control range
• Active Antenna Power: Apply antenna powering only where required and where the corresponding input is enabled
• LOCK: Prevent accidental operating changes once the RF system has been configured
• DC monitoring: View the incoming DC supply and protection state without external measurement equipment
• System information: Access software and serial information through the INFO page

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

AC244 is aimed at professional workflows where antenna placement and RF coverage must adapt to the production.

• Film & television: Multiple antenna positions around sets, stages and complex locations
• Outside broadcast: Flexible RF coverage around OB compounds, studios and remote production areas
• Location sound: Centralised antenna combining for sound carts and advanced RF systems
• Live events: Improved antenna placement around stages, backstage areas and performance spaces
• Rental systems: A configurable platform that can be adapted to different productions and receiver packages
• Fixed installations: Controlled antenna combining for studios, theatres and professional wireless installations

KEY FEATURES:

• 4-Zone antenna combining: eight antenna inputs arranged as A1–A4 and B1–B4 for professional diversity workflows
• A/B RF distribution: two distribution outputs for Side A and two distribution outputs for Side B
• Adjustable RF gain: user setting from +10 dB to −21 dB in 1 dB steps through the OLED menu
• Active Antenna Power: individually controlled active-antenna powering on enabled antenna inputs
• OLED menu system: direct access to antenna inputs, distribution gain, AAP, lock, DC voltage and system information
• Status at a glance: eight front-panel indicators show antenna-input activity and Active Antenna Power state
• DC monitoring & protection: continuous voltage monitoring with RF protection during abnormal supply conditions
• Stored operating state: configured operating settings are retained and restored after power cycling
• Professional 50 Ω interface: BNC RF connections throughout the antenna-input and distribution-output interface
