Shure AD8C Axient Digital PSM 8-Port Antenna Combiner, 470-960 MHz - DC

Shure AD8C Axient Digital PSM 8-Port Antenna Combiner, 470-960 MHz

The Shure AD8C 8-Port Antenna Combiner is an essential accessory for professionals utilizing multiple Axient Digital PSM systems. Designed to streamline complex setups, the AD8C efficiently combines RF outputs from up to eight transmitters into a single output, feeding one transmit antenna. This consolidation simplifies your configuration, ensuring a more organized and reliable performance environment.

Flexibility is at the core of the AD8C's design. It offers selectable modes to suit various operational needs. In the 8:1 mode, it merges up to eight RF inputs into one RF output, ideal for extensive system integrations. Alternatively, the 2x 4:1 mode divides the combiner into two sections, each combining up to four RF inputs into a single RF output. This dual-section capability supports spatial diversity, enhancing signal reliability and reducing potential dropouts during performances.

To combat passive signal loss, the AD8C features Automatic Transmitter Compensation when used with ADTQ or ADTD Axient Digital PSM transmitters. This function ensures optimal signal integrity, maintaining the high-quality audio standards expected in professional settings. Additionally, the built-in Ethernet switch facilitates remote control and firmware updates, keeping your system current and easily manageable. For those requiring enhanced power reliability, a DC module version is available to support redundant power configurations.
