RF Venue D-ARCD9 | 9-Channel Dual-Zone RF Distribution | White Architectural Diversity Antenna

RF VENUE D-ARCD9  (RF Venue DARCD9)

Wireless Microphone Antenna Distribution Bundle

The RF Venue D-ARCD9 is a turnkey 9-channel wireless microphone RF distribution bundle combining the DISTRO9 HDR with a white Diversity Architectural Antenna, premium low-loss coaxial cabling, and DC receiver power distribution. It provides a streamlined solution for professional installations that need reliable diversity reception, flexible multi-zone coverage, and discreet wall or ceiling antenna placement.

RF Venue D-ARCD9 Competitive Differences

• Diversity Architectural Antenna provides both A and B diversity connections from one low-profile enclosure instead of requiring two separately mounted paddle antennas
• White antenna can be installed on a wall or ceiling and painted with non-metallic paint to complement finished interiors
• DISTRO9 HDR provides 9 diversity receiver outputs from a single 1RU chassis
• Two diversity antenna input zones provide flexible RF coverage for large spaces, multiple rooms, or separate coverage areas
• DISTRO9 HDR operates across 50–1000 MHz for compatibility with VHF, UHF, and compatible 900 MHz wireless systems
• Any unity-gain RF output can be cascaded to another DISTRO9 HDR for systems with up to 17 wireless microphone channels in 2RU
• DC power over coax supports compatible active antennas and inline RF amplifiers
• Included double-shielded low-loss RG8X coaxial cabling provides the antenna and receiver interconnections required for a 9-channel system

RF Venue D-ARCD9 Description

The RF Venue D-ARCD9 combines RF Venue's Diversity Architectural Antenna with the DISTRO9 HDR to create a complete antenna distribution solution for systems with up to nine diversity wireless microphone receivers. The architectural antenna uses a dual-feed design that provides separate A and B diversity connections from a single enclosure, helping maintain reliable RF reception while eliminating the visual clutter of two separately mounted antenna housings.

The white Diversity Architectural Antenna is designed specifically for installed AV environments. Its slim 11-inch-square enclosure can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, while the included mounting hardware supports multiple installation methods. The antenna operates from 470–698 MHz, provides a Diversity Flood coverage pattern, and is well suited to conference rooms, training facilities, houses of worship, schools, auditoriums, multipurpose spaces, and other locations where RF performance and appearance are both important.

The DISTRO9 HDR provides nine diversity RF outputs and two diversity antenna input zones in a single rack-space chassis. Its wide 50–1000 MHz operating range accommodates a broad selection of professional wireless microphone systems, while its high-dynamic-range RF architecture provides clean distribution across the supported spectrum. Two antenna zones also make it possible to design coverage for larger areas or multiple rooms from one distribution platform.

The DISTRO9 HDR provides 12V DC power over coax for compatible active antennas or inline amplifiers and a separate 12V DC, 5A output for powering compatible wireless microphone receivers. The bundle also includes two white 25-foot RG8X antenna cables, ten 1.5-foot RG8X interconnects, ten 2-foot RG8X interconnects, and a DC-OCTOPUS-CABLE for a complete and organized multi-channel wireless installation.
