JBL SRX900 Best Audio
INTELLIGIBILITY AND DEFINITION COME FIRST

Taking inspiration from JBL’s flagship VTX line, the SRX900 Series’ custom-designed and manufactured transducers, coupled with JBL’s innovative horn and waveguide designs, deliver superior performance and output usually only available in more expensive three-way systems.

SRX900 woofers are based on JBL’s proprietary Differential Drive dual-voicecoil, dual-gap arrangement design, which delivers better heat dissipation, lower power compression and wider dynamic range than conventional single-coil designs. Transducers feature neodymium magnet structures, and heat sinks are integrated into driver frames. It all adds up to extended frequency response, high power capacity and low distortion in an incredibly lightweight driver assembly.

The SRX900’s 2432H-3 compression driver features a neodymium magnet structure, 3-inch titanium diaphragm and a 1.5-inch exit, for crisp transients, superior dynamic range and extended sensitivity beyond 10 kHz, for truly linear high-frequency response at any output level.

JBL SRX900 Series line arrays are based on JBL's groundbreaking Radiation Boundary Integrator
CONSISTENT COVERAGE

SRX900 Series line arrays are based on JBL’s groundbreaking Radiation Boundary Integrator design, first introduced in the flagship VTX Series. The patented RBI device mounts both the high and low-frequency transducers on a single horn, improving horizontal dispersion while minimizing cabinet size. A precision waveguide provides perfect cabinet-to-cabinet summation for seamless front-to-back coverage, and a large horn extends low-frequency control and reduces unwanted energy behind the array.

SRX900 Versatile Scalable Affordable
VERSATILE, SCALABLE AND AFFORDABLE

The SRX900 Series offers a complete system solution, including speakers, subwoofers and accessories that support a variety of configurations and simplify storage, transport and rigging. Because systems are scalable, it’s easy to start with a small investment and add components over time. SRX900 products are designed to work seamlessly with other JBL touring sound products, thanks to common voicing targets and phase characteristics.

SRX900 Powered Line Array with Powerful DSP
SOPHISTICATED DSP

SRX900 models feature a DSP package that provides everything users need to optimize and tune their systems, including 24-band parametric EQ, 2,000 ms of delay and gain control. JBL’s proprietary Array Size Compensation (ASC) filter corrects for different array sizes, while the FIR-based Throw Distance Compensation (TDC) filter compensates air-imposed sound loss, for more uniform sound distribution without having to spend hours measuring and tuning the system. An internal noise generator can be used to test the system without the need for a console.

JBL SRX900 Crown iTech LevelMax Limiters
LEVELMAX LIMITERS PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

The SRX900 Series’ advanced LevelMax limiter suite, codeveloped by JBL and Crown engineers for Crown’s I-Tech HD professional touring amplifiers, uses sophisticated excursion-control algorithms to protect transducers from mechanical damage. RMS limiting and long-term thermal protection keep transducer temperatures under control, ensuring reliable operation under any conditions.

JBL SRX900 Australasia's First Choice for Affordable Scalable Powered Line Array Systems
FUTURE-PROOF NETWORKING

The SRX900 Series supports HARMAN’s new HControl ethernet protocol, which brings advances in stability, reduces network traffic load and removes the need for complex IP addresses. Users can simply set a numerical value to each device for easy identification. Two switched network ports offer simplified networking for daisy-chaining. SRX900 products are equipped with Ethernet ports to facilitate monitoring and configuring the system over the network. Because SRX products use standard Ethernet protocols, customers can take advantage of inexpensive networking products such as Ethernet switches and wi-fi access points.

RSX900 SEAMLESS SOFTWARE CONTROL
SEAMLESS SOFTWARE CONTROL

The SRX900 Series’ unified software suite lets users manage system design, control and deployment functions on Windows, macOS, and iOS. Use JBL LAC-3 simulation software for system design and the new, cross-platform JBL Performance application for system management; transfer rigging information via the Array Link iOS/Android companion app. A rear-panel LCD screen provides full on-speaker access to control features, making it easy for users to troubleshoot large systems or configure small systems right onscreen.

Because SRX900 Series line arrays and subwoofers are self-powered, users never have to worry about matching components or lugging amp racks
THE POWER OF POWERED SYSTEMS

Because SRX900 Series line arrays and subwoofers are self-powered, users never have to worry about matching components or lugging amp racks. Custom Class D amplifiers are designed from the ground up for optimal performance alongside matched SRX900 transducers; amps are passively cooled, with no open holes that could allow water or dust to enter the electronics. A universal switching mode power supply works on any voltage between 100 and 250V, and a low power mode kicks in when no audio is detected, saving energy. Up to eight SRX906 speakers and four SRX910 speakers can be connected to the same power circuit (depending on region), minimizing cable complexities and cutting costs.

FAST, SAFE, EASY RIGGING with JBL SRX900 Powered flexible Line Array
FAST, SAFE, EASY RIGGING

SRX900 Series systems are designed for both portable and installed applications and can be deployed in a variety of configurations, from pole-mounted to ground-stacked to flown arrays of up to 16 cabinets. A three-point rigging system, adapted from VTX technologies, makes suspending systems safe and easy, regardless of system size or user experience level. Set splay angles on the ground; cabinets lock into place as the system is lifted. The rear rigging spine serves as an additional heatsink for added cooling. Available accessories include array frames, base plates, pole-mount and truss-clamp adapters, cases, carts and covers.

Purpose Built JBL Pro SRX900
PRO BUILD QUALITY, INSIDE AND OUT

SRX900 Series line array loudspeakers are housed in reinforced composite enclosures while subwoofers feature 18mm plywood enclosures. FEA-optimised cabinets offer excellent size-to-weight ratio and are acoustically optimized for superior performance: Four large, double-flared low-frequency ports allow airflow even when driving the system to the limit, for natural, effortless bass response; flares control air velocity at the ports’ exit, eliminating interference noise at the grille. CAD-optimized stiffeners minimize flex. Speakers are designed for a clean, modern look, with enclosed side panels and integrated handles. Like every JBL speaker, SRX900 Series models undergo 100 hours of rigorous stress testing to ensure they will perform flawlessly and reliably in real-world conditions.

Products:

NZ's Best sounding performance PA system for DJs and Bands outperforms QSC in quality and value
ALL-NEW ACOUSTIC DESIGN

From cones to cabinets, the PRX900 Series has been built from the ground up to leverage the latest JBL acoustic innovations. Patented JBL 2408H-2 1.5” compression drivers with poly-annular diaphragms and neodymium magnets provide clear, detailed high-frequency response even at maximum volume. High-quality NTC thermistors protect transducers by reducing power sent to transducers when approaching thermal limit. Innovative new horns with updated JBL Image Control Waveguides provide optimum beamwidth and directivity. Next-generation woofers with ferrite magnets deliver smooth, natural bass response, and an FEA flared port design reduces air noise and distortion. Subwoofers feature proprietary voicecoils for improved low-frequency response. It all adds up to clean, accurate, powerful sound at any volume.

DIAL IN YOUR SOUND WITH CLASS-LEADING DSP AND CONTROL

The PRX900 Series is fully loaded with comprehensive DSP, all accessible via the JBL Pro Connect app and onboard full-colour LCD. Processing includes 12-band parametric EQ and optimised system presets; onboard dbx DriveRack technology features live and fixed Automatic Feedback Suppression, soft system limiters and 180ms of speaker delay in 100-microsecond intervals for precise time-aligned systems.

The JBL Pro Connect app offers BLE functionality for system control of up to 10 speakers and line integration with JBL EON ONE MK2, PRX ONE and EON700 loudspeakers. The app provides the ability to change speaker names and flash all unit LEDs for ease of speaker identification in a full ecosystem. Access full DSP functions anywhere right from the app, including app-only features like speaker snapshots and groupings.

VERSATILE AND SCALABLE

Combine PRX900 Series loudspeakers and subwoofers in a range of configurations to meet the needs of both mobile scenarios and fixed installs. PRX900 speakers feature dual 36mm pole sockets and six M10 suspension points; subwoofers feature M20 pole cups. A built-in G-Sensor gyrosensor automatically optimises system tuning depending on monitor or mains placement.

RUGGED AND ROAD-WORTHY, IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL

PRX900 components are housed in strong, lightweight cabinets that maximise both acoustic performance and durability. Loudspeaker cabinets are constructed from a polypropylene/talcum blend that’s optimised for rigidity, with a computer-modeled internal ribbing design that improves strength and acoustic performance. Subwoofer enclosures are built from 18mm birch, with optimised bracing that smooths out low-frequency response; cabinets have Duraflex coatings for superior durability.

Like every JBL product, PRX900 Series loudspeakers and subwoofers undergo an industry-leading 100-hour stress test of all components to ensure systems perform beyond expectations in real-world scenarios. They’re so reliable that each speaker is backed with an unprecedented 7 Year Warranty.

POWER THAT PERFORMS FOR YOU

Larger live performance spaces require higher power and performance to service the needs of their customers. Driven by highly efficient 2,000W (peak) Class D power amps, the PRX900 Series provides acoustic clarity and definition with minimal power compression, even at maximum volume. A bridged woofer amp keeps current spikes out of the ground and lowers crosstalk harmonics to the compression driver, and a power factor correction (PFC) power supply stabilises voltage load sent to the amplifier. High-quality, high-linearity inductors deliver high power efficiency and low total harmonic distortion, and low-noise, low-distortion input gain staging optimises range and headroom for a diverse gain requirements. High-quality DAC and ADC provides near-lossless audio conversion. Producing up to 134 dB output down to 30 Hz, systems effortlessly support large performance spaces with high power and performance needs. And with a full-bandwidth CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) greater than 55 dB and THD (total harmonic distortion) rating of 32 db.

The controller can automatically detect all switches on a network, allowing uncomplicated firmware upgrades, profile configurations, and much more. Users will be able to visualise and easily centralise the pre-configured, port-based AV profiles, lighting protocols, and other setups.

With only a few clicks, users can configure these robust switches for any AV-over-IP installation ranging from digital signage and wayfinding to entertainment venues, corporate conference rooms and lobbies, education, houses of worship and more.

“NETGEAR has continued to recognise the evolution taking place in the Pro AV world and specifically the advancements in AV-over-IP installations that are changing what is possible in our industry,” said Laurent Masia, director of product line management for managed switches at NETGEAR.

VTX A6 and B15 are the newest additions to the flagship JBL Professional line array series, delivering big-system clarity and coverage in compact footprints for small to medium sized applications.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif.— HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video, lighting and control technologies, today introduced the newest members of JBL’s flagship VTX line array series, the VTX A6 subcompact dual 6.5-inch passive line array element and the B15 compact, arrayable 15-inch subwoofer.

The A6 and B15 bring JBL’s top acoustic technologies to compact form factors for small- to medium-size touring and fixed installations, providing versatile solutions for production companies, touring acts, rental houses, theaters, houses of worship and anyone who requires superior sonic performance in space-critical applications.

“When you choose the JBL VTX A Series, you’re building a complete ecosystem, with common acoustic profiles and rigging systems, consistent voicing and standardised system design and operational tools,” says George Georgallis, Director, Product Management–Performance Audio at HARMAN Professional Solutions. “And, by accessing VTX technologies in a new ultra-compact package, you’re able to maximise your system investment and deliver VTX quality and performance in any scale application.”

The A6 6.5-inch passive two-way line array element is engineered from the ground up for stunning sonic performance and ease of integration and deployment, as a standalone system or as a supplement to larger VTX systems. It houses two custom 6.5-inch woofers and a 3-inch annular-diaphragm compression driver and features acoustic innovations pioneered in JBL’s VTX line, including JBL’s patented Radiation Boundary Integrator™ (RBI) and Differential Drive® dual-voicecoil, dual-magnet woofer. It all adds up to big-system performance in a low-profile loudspeaker, with low-frequency extension to 67 Hz and 134 dB max SPL.

Extend the low-end range of VTX full-range systems with the VTX B15 15-inch subwoofer. The B15 features acoustic advancements such as SlipStream™ double-flared exponential ports and Differential Drive dual-voicecoil design and is based on JBL’s new 2285H 15-inch woofer, which is engineered for linearity, efficiency and excursion that rival 18-inch models. Two B15 versions are available: the arrayable B15 and the B15G, which is designed without rigging hardware for ground-stacked applications.

Both the A6 and B15 are designed for versatile rigging and effortless system integration. The A6 uses the VTX A Series’ patented rigging system for accurate, easy deployment. Set splay angles while components are on the ground; once the system is suspended, a locking mechanism automatically secures cabinets in designated positions. The B15 has the same cabinet width and suspension hardware as the A6, allowing the two products to be used together in flown and ground-stacked configurations; the B15 supports cardioid array configurations.

The new family of JBL Professional All-In-One Portable PA systems combine the expertise of its tour sound pedigree with the consumer-focused, user-friendly design developed for JBL’s home audio products. The result is a series of products delivering unmatched technical performance and features, in a lightweight and easy-to-use package.

Setting up a PA system can be a hassle. You have to find the right cables, set up speakers and make sure everything is working before you get going.

Sound familiar?  Enter JBL Professional’s new family of All-In-One portable PA systems – EON ONE Compact, EON ONE MK2 and PRX ONE. The days of schlepping huge, heavy sound systems to event spaces are over. All the tech and best sound are at your finger tips. And the best part? Get going in under 5 minutes!

It can be tricky to figure out which JBL All-In-One system best meets your needs, so lets take a look at the key differences between each JBL model and which one you should consider for your next upgrade.

Here is a guide to JBL’s All-In-One Portable PA family:

JBL All In One Systems are now the most affordable, best sounding and performing portable PA speakers worth investing in. Built for NZ Schools teambuilding sport days sport clubs and more.

JBL EON ONE Compact

EON ONE Compact, as the name suggests, is the smallest speaker of the bunch – but do not let that fool you, it is still packed-full of tech, has an extremely intelligently designed form-factor, and has enough power to easily broadcast your voice or music to a good-sized crowd.

Featuring a single 8” driver for low-frequencies, 1” tweeter for high-frequencies, and enough power to emit 112dB max output level, the Compact packs a punch that belies its 8kg weight.

Connectivity

Connectivity-wise, the EON ONE Compact has an abundance of useful I/O including 2 Mic/Line inputs (with 48v Phantom Power available), a HI-Z/line ¼” jack input, and a stereo playback source via Bluetooth 5.0 streaming (which supports streaming to multiple devices) or 1/8” stereo jack input. There’s also an 1/8” headphone output for local headphone monitoring as well as a line output pass-through jack for linking multiple units as part of a larger system.

Remote Controllable Digital Mixer

EON ONE Compact features an on-board digital mixer with powerful DSP and Lexicon Reverb/Chorus/Delay effects that can be controlled on the unit’s interface or controlled remotely using a dedicated iOS or Android app. If you’re an artist using iOS and Android devices for lyrics and sheet music, within one swipe you can be adjusting the levels of your instruments or changing your Reverb settings! Using the EON ONE Compact for presentations and teaching? Simply adjust microphone and presentation volume using the app. You can even store your entire mix settings and instantly recall them as you move from venue to venue.

EON ONE Compact Hot Swappable Replacement Battery
Rechargeable Battery

The key attribute that makes EON ONE Compact so portable is its built-in rechargeable battery. With up to 12-hours of battery life and a fast tool-less hot-swap battery feature, EON ONE Compact can be positioned easily and perform in anywhere. Fast recharge time takes a mere 2 and 1/2 hours or it can be used whilst connected to mains power. Top tip is to purchase an external charger and spare battery for battery swaps when you’re in the moment and don’t want the jamming to stop!

EON ONE Compact is well suited to singer-songwriters and buskers playing to small audiences/gatherings, but it is also just as at home when used for recreational activities such as outdoor gyms, yoga and education where portability and power-to-weight is crucial. When you’re done, it easily fits on a car seat, back-pack or bus for the journey home.

Multipurpose Positioning

Whilst it appears as a traditional front-of-house enclosure, EON ONE Compact can be positioned on the floor using its wedge shape, on a tabletop, or on a tripod for best coverage at the venue. EON ONE Compact cleverly detects its configuration and changes the speaker tuning to match to ensure you’re always getting renowned JBL sound quality in any orientation.

Accessories

JBL have developed a range of useful accessories to make your setup and performance slicker than ever. This includes the EON ONE Compact USB Power Cable that utilises the USB charging ports to power guitar pedals or AKG wireless receivers for true, mobile, battery-powered performances (with EON ONE Compact and EON ONE MK2) with minimal cabling and setup time. Optional external charger and spare batteries are available for battery swaps on-the-go for your non-stop performance. Protect your EON ONE Compact during transport with a variety of cover options from a stylish tote bag, a standard slip cover, to a water resistant padded backpack.

JBL EON ONE MK2

EON ONE MK2 is the newest portable battery powered column array, featuring the best of the previous EON ONE models, added with the latest in digital mixing, improved portability, longer battery power and audio processing technology to create the most flexible, portable and powerful option in the EON ONE range to date.

Connectivity

Combining a 5-channel digital mixer with 3 Mic/Line inputs (2 with optional 48v phantom power), Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, audio passthrough to link additional speakers and USB charging connectivity alongside JBL’s proven column PA technology. EON ONE MK2 gives you more digital mixing capabilities with a full colour LCD screen for easy navigation.

Line Array Technology

If you’re unfamiliar with column PAs, they may appear odd-looking at first! The narrow column containing 8×2” drivers is positioned on top of the 10” subwoofer unit which houses the power amplifier, PSU and digital mixer.

Leveraging line-array technology developed for high-end, festival-level PA systems means the audience can hear a clear and focussed sound anywhere in front or to the sides of the PA. Column array speakers carry sound farther and clearer than conventional point source or horn speakers, without the sound having to be too loud or annoying in the front.

Whilst it might appear to be cumbersome having a large column to transport, JBL have split the column into 3 sections (one of which is the rechargeable battery) that can be packed down and housed in the rear of the bass unit for 1-handed transport in and out of the venue!

Remote Controllable Digital Mixer

EON ONE MK2 can be remote controlled using an iOS or Android device via the JBL Pro Connect App – allowing the show to be mixed anywhere in the venue by the engineer, AV Tech or musician in the band. The digital mixer and app features an even more impressive selection of processing than the EON ONE Compact with the inclusion of Automatic Ducking, Automatic Feedback Suppression (AFS), Sub Harmonic Synthesis, as well as Delay effects developed in conjunction with Soundcraft, dbx, and Lexicon.

Rechargeable Battery

EON ONE MK2 can be used on mains or battery power and features a clever removable Battery design where the lowest spacer on the array contains the Battery. Providing up to 6 hours of battery life during normal use, the battery can be easily removed and swapped out during an interval or removed from the array and recharged separately with an optional charging accessory.

Combined with more output than its predecessor (119dB on battery and 123dB on mains), EON ONE MK2 is an amazing option for solo musicians or ensembles looking for a powerful and portable PA for their live shows or even corporate, education, events and rental companies looking for a versatile speaker during their functions. The battery operation alone presents many advantages to anyone running anything outdoors including buskers and wedding celebrants, school sports days and team building activities.

Not having to find power will also aid every kind of corporate AV application when getting in and out fast is a must.

JBL PRX ONE

At the top the JBL All-In-One Portable range is the JBL PRX One All-In-One Powered Column PA System. PRX One gives you the power to amplify your voice, instruments, or music without sacrificing portability – with this system, you no longer need to compromise between sound quality and size when it comes to performing live or travelling on the road.

Weighing in at just 25.7kg, the PRX One uses a whole host of awesome components to get the best performance possible – it’s built to last too, with rugged enclosures and an attractive yet discreet form factor while looking professional and expensive, which is perfect for corporate use.

Under the Hood

PRX One is a high-quality powered column PA, featuring a 2000w Class-D amplifier, 12×2.5” HF drivers and a single 12” subwoofer. It features a wide and consistent coverage pattern of 130°. These elements combine to create the highest-powered offering from the new portable PA family at 130dB, it is the perfect choice for larger bands, corporate or outdoor venues and rental companies needing ultimate power with maximum portability.

Wall Mount Bracket

Its versatility of use is made greater with the optional install wall bracket and truss adaptor. This means that unlike other portable column arrays, you can position the column array away from the sub enclosure and wall or truss mount them with the multi-angle bracket.

Considering that the whole package includes inputs, processing, app control, subs, and mid- highs, this puts the PRX ONE in contention for installation in everything from small entertainment venues to large meeting rooms and every application in between.

Connectivity

PRX ONE features impressive mixer connectivity with 4 Mic/Line inputs (2 with optional 48v phantom power), 2 dedicated HI-Z/Line Inputs, a stereo 1/8” input for playback, Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming connectivity, as well as an XLR output pass through for linking other speakers – plenty of inputs and outputs for a group of musicians, small band, or multiple presenters at a conference event.

Digital Mixer and Signal Processing

The real power of the PRX ONE comes when you start to delve into the processing available on its internal digital mixer. Carrying on where the EON ONE MK2 left off, the PRX ONE features the same EQ, Automatic Ducking, Automatic Feedback Suppression (AFS), Sub Harmonic Synthesis found in the MK2 – but with the addition of dbx Compression on every channel and extensive output EQ on the speaker array. These are features that you would find on a touring-level digital mixing console, but they are built directly into the subwoofer of PRX ONE!

The full colour LCD screen provides easy navigation and editing of all onboard processing, the PRX ONE can be remote controlled using the universal JBL Pro Connect app for iOS and Android devices. The same device running the JBL Pro Connect App can control a number of PRX ONE’s and EON ONE MK2’s for a larger system or multiple-zone setup.

Mixing Power

Each model in the Portable PA Family features a Triple Tier DSP Control system that tailors all the app GUI and DSP power of the built-in digital mixer to match your experience and knowledge level from beginner views with basic control to advanced views where you get access to the whole suite of premium DSP effects.

WHICH JBL PA IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

If you’re in the market for a new portable PA, each of the JBL All-In-One systems will give you access to premium JBL sound and build quality alongside exceptional built-in digital signal processing and mixing capabilities. Some will prefer the enhanced features on certain models, while others will thrive with a stripped-back set-up that allows for a more basic plug-in-and-play approach. Which one best suits your application?

If your portable audio requirement needs to move from indoor to outdoor, room to hall, quad to field or pool to local pub, you will need a battery powered speaker that is ultra-portable and able to expel sound to a small to mid-sized audience. The EON ONE Compact is your best choice! It’s small enough to carry, yet powerful enough to make your voice or instrument heard. Being able to be powered all day using a built-in battery is a huge advantage when getting power is an issue. A solid speaker for gym class, corporate presentation, school sports day, musician, busker or celebrant – EON ONE COMPACT is the perfect fit!

If you need enough inputs for just a few microphones/instruments and need to cover a larger audience either indoors or out, with the convenience of battery power, then you may want to consider the EON ONE MK2. It has more I/O than the EON ONE Compact and more mixing power from the JBL Pro Connect App. With its line array tech, your audience can span wider and longer distances whilst still being heard. Even with more sound power and column speakers, they still pack down neatly into a single box to carry in one hand.

If you’re a small band, venue, or even rental or corporate company looking for something ultra-versatile and with enough power for medium to large audience sizes then the PRX ONE is your best choice as it features more output power, more DSP, and more connectivity than any other speaker in the All-In-One range – and it’s all remote controllable using the same cross-platform JBL Pro Connect App that controls both EON ONE MK2 and PRX ONE models.

RF Venue’s discreet, aesthetically pleasing Diversity Architectural Antenna makes professional RF performance invisible, providing RF Venue’s solid reliability in installations where aesthetics matter.

RF Venue, a global leader in antenna and RF wireless communication products, has revealed its Architectural Antenna, a new aesthetically pleasing diversity antenna for use with wireless microphone systems.

The patented cross-polarised Diversity Architectural Antenna is based on the highly successful Diversity Fin Antenna in a virtually invisible footprint.

RF Venue’s diversity antennas provide an ideal easy to install solution to the problem of wireless microphone signal dropouts, and other interferences that are common when using many wireless microphones together with separate paddle antenna pairs.

“The Diversity Architectural Antenna was developed to meet the needs of customers who rely on the performance of our Diversity Fin Antenna but need to be sensitive to aesthetics,” says Chris Regan, president of RF Venue.

“Early response has been hugely enthusiastic, identifying the easy installation of a single antenna that replaces two conventional wall-mount antennas and the sleek, low-profile industrial design that doesn’t look industrial. Users are excited to have a high-performing diversity antenna option that delivers dropout-free reception where looks matter as much as performance.”

The Architectural Antenna provides a solution for integrators developing AV systems for houses of worship, schools, universities, corporate conference and training rooms and any other smaller, indoor multipurpose venue.

Featuring a slim profile enclosure, the Diversity Architectural Antenna can be installed in any position on a wall or ceiling and can be painted to match any interior, delivering a true diversity solution that can hide in plain sight. With its patent-pending, dual-feed antenna design, both A and B diversity connections are provided, so there’s no need to install two separately spaced antennas.

The Diversity Architectural Antenna installs in minutes, with mounting plates and all necessary hardware provided. Connecting an in-wall or in-ceiling coaxial cable pair to the rear-mounted BNC jacks completes the installation. The flexible installation kit is designed to accommodate multiple mounting configurations including junction boxes, sheet rock, studs and ceiling tiles.

Diversity Architectural Antenna printed specifications indicate that it has been tested with wireless systems between 470-616 MHz, however it is not limited to this range. RF Venue have given assurances that the Diversity Architectural Antenna will work in the 470-698MHz spectrum like other RF Venue antennas.

The Diversity Architectural Antenna is distributed in NZ by JPRO and is now available in New Zealand as of September 2022.
