Recommendations on antenna mounting

Signal loss due to extension cables and antenna splitters
In this scenario, the use of extension cables and antenna splitters with a re-
motely mounted antenna may result in loss of transmission power, de-
pending on the cable length.
You can compensate this signal loss by configuring the transmission pow-
er of the receiver accordingly. Observe the following minimum transmis-
sion power settings (SL Rack Receiver DW:
System Settings menu -> RF
Power
) for the respective cable lengths. The antenna splitter causes about
as much signal loss as a cable length of 15 m. These losses must be includ-
ed in the calculation of the transmission power level.
We
recommend
the following
cable lengths
in combination with the an-
tenna splitter:
•
Receiver to splitter:
1 m
-> splitter to AWM 2/4:
1 m
•
Receiver to splitter:
1 m
-> splitter to AWM 2/4:
5 m
•
Receiver to splitter:
1 m
-> splitter to AWM 2/4:
10 m
•
Receiver to splitter:
5 m
-> splitter to AWM 2/4:
1 m
•
Receiver to splitter:
5 m
-> splitter to AWM 2/4:
5 m
•
Receiver to splitter:
10 m
-> splitter to AWM 2/4:
1 m
Cables longer than 10 m are not recommended for this variant.
This results in the following transmission power levels to be set in the
menu of the receiver or simultaneously for all receivers in the Sennheiser
Control Cockpit software:
•
5 m
cable length plus splitter -> at least
level 2
•
10 m
cable length plus splitter -> at least
level 3
Direct line of sight
▷
If possible, position the antennas so that there is a direct line of sight
(without obstacles) between the transmitters and the antennas.
