Introduction 

City Theatrical’s 5905 Multiverse

®

 Studio Receiver 2.4GHz brings the advanced features of 

the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM system to the film and video world, where fast setup 
and reliability are key objectives. The weather resistant Multiverse Studio Receiver 
contains a long-life lithium-ion polymer battery giving 20 hours of use. The Multiverse 
Studio Receiver has a full four button user interface with a backlit LED display that makes 
setup easy and gives feedback on system performance.   
 
The 5905 Multiverse Studio Receiver contains a 2.4GHz radio, and allows the user to 
select which single universe to receive, and which radio band to use via the Multiverse 
SHoW ID. 
 
The DMX corded connector allows the Multiverse Studio Receiver and external antenna 
to hang below the lighting fixture, giving improved data fidelity. 
 

5905 Multiverse Studio Receiver Features 

 

 

2.4GHz Broadcast Radio 

Transmit and receive on the 2.4GHz band. 
 

 

Long Life Rechargeable Battery 

20 hour battery life with default settings 
 

 

Rugged and Splashproof 

The IP61 rated plastic case makes it splashproof and rainproof (but not for 
permanent outdoor use). 

 

 

User Selectable SHoW IDs 

City Theatrical has always produced wireless DMX products that allow the user to 
select the optimum transmission method.  Users may select full bandwidth hopping, 
hopping limited to a section of the spectrum (including areas of the spectrum 
outside of the Wi-Fi range), or adaptive hopping. 

 

 

mDMX 

(Multiverse SHoW IDs only)

 

mDMX is a form of DMX optimized for wireless broadcast that dramatically reduces 
data being broadcast, thereby reducing unneeded radio energy. 

 

 

mRDM 

(Multiverse SHoW IDs only)

 

Multiverse is able to broadcast RDM information without disrupting the DMX 
broadcast. This feature is not available even in wired RDM systems. 

 

 

SHoW Key Security 

(Multiverse SHoW IDs only)

 

SHoW Key is an additional three-digit code that can be added to the Multiverse 
SHoW ID that will prevent any other system set on the same SHoW ID from 
interfering with your system. 

 

 

Forward Error Correction 

(Multiverse SHoW IDs only)

 

Allows the Receiver to detect and correct errors that may occur in the wireless 
transmission of data. 
 

 

Ultra Low Latency 

Total average system latency of 4ms. 
 

 

Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping  

Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping identifies and masks off hopping 
channels that contain interference, replacing them in the hop sequence with
