The AC 3 active transmitter combiner

The AC 3 active transmitter

combiner

With the AC 3 4-to-1 active transmitter combiner, the signals of

up to four SR 300 IEM G3 type transmitters can be combined

onto a single antenna.

The integral active RF amplifiers ensure that the input signals

are combined onto the common antenna output with no distri-

bution attenuation.

The AC 3 incorporates DC distribution to enable simultaneous

powering of up to four transmitters via its BNC sockets. A single

NT 3-1 table top power supply (see "Accessories" on page 15)

is required to power the AC 3 and the connected transmitters.

Using the GA 3 rack adapter (see "Accessories" on page 15),

one AC 3 and one stationary SR 300 IEM G3 type transmitter

can be mounted into a 19" rack.

Alternatively, you can stack the AC 3. For stacking the AC 3,

mount the optional stacking elements (see "Accessories" on

page 15).

The AC 3 is suitable for the following areas of application:

· Multi-channel monitoring systems for stage use

· Multi-channel systems suitable for any application where

talk-back signals are to be transmitted (e.g. studio)

Delivery includes

1 AC 3 active transmitter combiner

1 set of device feet

4BNC cables

1 instruction manual

You additionally require the NT 3-1 table top power supply with

a suitable mains connector (see "Accessories" on page 15).
