Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of using an active antenna splitter for multiple wireless receivers?
An active splitter combines RF signals from a single antenna pair and distributes them to four receivers while also supplying power, reducing the number of antenna cables and remote power runs needed in your venue. This results in cleaner cable management and fewer potential RF failure points.
How does adjustable attenuation help when receivers are placed at different distances from the antenna?
Adjustable attenuation allows you to fine-tune the RF signal level to each receiver, preventing overdriven or weak inputs. This is essential in venues where wireless units are mounted in different locations with varying distances from the antenna pair.
Can the APS4 splitter be used in touring sound systems, or is it primarily for permanent installations?
The APS4 is equally suited to both touring and permanent systems. Its compact size, rackmount capability, and flexibility make it ideal for concert tours, festivals, and portable conference setups that require frequent relocation.
Does the APS4 splitter work with legacy wireless systems from different manufacturers?
The APS4 operates passively on standard UHF frequencies from 470 to 952 MHz. It will work with most professional wireless microphone systems in that band; confirm your equipment's frequency before ordering, or contact Procure.ae to verify compatibility.
What type of connectors are used to link the APS4 to antennas and receivers?
The APS4 uses standard BNC connectors for antenna inputs and receiver outputs, which are industry-standard in professional RF equipment. This ensures broad compatibility with existing wireless systems.
Is the rackmount kit included, or must it be purchased separately?
The rackmount kit is included with the APS4, allowing immediate 19-inch equipment rack mounting without additional purchases. You can also use the unit on a table or shelf without the rackmount.
How quickly can Procure.ae deliver antenna systems and RF equipment to our venue?
Procure.ae supplies wireless and RF infrastructure across the UAE and GCC. Submit your venue details and equipment needs to get a quote with current lead times.
Does Procure.ae provide on-site RF commissioning and testing for large installations?
Procure.ae offers installation support for professional audio systems across the region. Contact the team to discuss your venue requirements and explore on-site technical services.
What components and accessories are included with the APS4 unit?
The package includes the APS4 active splitter unit, external power supply, rackmount kit, BNC connector cables, and technical documentation. Antenna cables are not included and must be sourced separately.
What power consumption does the APS4 require, and is a backup power option available?
The APS4 operates on AC power via the included external supply; contact Procure.ae for exact power consumption specifications. Battery backup solutions and redundant power arrangements can be designed into your system.
Are there warranty or maintenance packages available for professional APS4 systems?
