RF Venue's OPTIX Series 3 is a high performance RF to fiber optic conversion system designed to enable the remote placement of wireless audio antennas. The OPTIX Transmitter module converts RF signals from an antenna source into a singlemode optical signal, sending that signal down a length of fiber-optic cable to the OPTIX Receiver module which then converts the source signal back into RF. Well-suited for live production as well as installed sound, OPTIX Series 3 features extensive user configurable controls to manage signal level, apply DC power for active antennas or amplifiers, and even directly monitor outputs to dial in performance. Without any signal loss over the optical cable, the OPTIX system can extend the range of antenna placement up to several kilometers, eliminating the need for bulky and lossy coaxial cable runs. Compatible across VHF, UHF, and the 900 MHz band, OPTIX Series 3 is compatible across any brand wireless audio system.

Includes

• Receiver module
• Transmitter module
• (2) 12 VDC power supply units

Features

• Remote placement of antennas now available over long distances with no signal loss
• Longer Coax runs require thicker, unwieldy, more expensive cables
• With virtually no signal loss over fiber, longer runs are now available and many locations already have fiber runs in place
