RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna

The RF Venue Diversity Fin puts two elements at right angles in one housing, so one stand does the work of the two paddles a diversity wireless microphone receiver usually takes.

One element is a log-periodic dipole array and the other a dipole, and each captures one polarization. When a presenter moves or a bodypack shifts, the transmitter’s angle changes and the second element holds the signal. The result is fewer dropouts and less of the noise a receiver makes switching between antennas.

Run two coaxial cables, sold separately, from its outputs to channels A and B on a diversity receiver or antenna distributor. It works with any brand of UHF wireless microphone system and covers 120 degrees horizontally, with a typical range of at least 300 feet. One Diversity Fin can feed up to 25 receivers through a DISTRO4 or 81 through a DISTRO9 HDR.

The padded nylon cover is water resistant, and the stand mount fits 1/4-20, 3/8-16, and 5/8-27 stands with no adapter. Place it in the stage wings or at front of house and aim it at the talent. It is made for receiving; for in-ear monitor transmitters, use a helical antenna such as the CP Beam.
