RF Venue RF Explorer Pro Touchscreen Spectrum Analyzer

The RF Venue RF Explorer Pro is a third-generation instrument for designing, deploying, and monitoring wireless audio systems, with a 6 GHz analyzer, a tracking generator, and frequency coordination built in.

An 8-inch touchscreen shows live spectrum, with Zero Span, Waterfall 2D and 3D, and Power Channel views. Built-in coordination works out frequencies, checks for interference in real time, and analyzes intermodulation right on the unit.

Scan data saves to memory so you can replay any event, and it also saves in binary and CSV formats for later use. Export to a USB drive for RF Venue’s free Wireless System Builder, Shure Wireless Workbench, Audio-Technica Wireless Manager, Sennheiser Wireless System Manager, or Excel. Configurable limit lines raise an alert when something crosses them during a show.

A dedicated WiFi Analyzer mode finds the less crowded channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, which helps when you set up mixer control and other networked gear. The built-in signal generator tests cables. With two SMA male to BNC female adapters, sold separately, enter the cable type and length and read the cable’s excess loss in dB.

Its SMA input patches into antenna distributors, receive antennas, band-pass filters, and RF over fiber converters to measure any part of a system. A micro HDMI output feeds an external display for monitoring during an event, and a USB to Ethernet adapter, also sold separately, opens remote control over VNC. The internal battery runs 3.5 to 5 hours.
