This section provides information about the coverage area, roaming times etc. when using the RMU-01 for wireless communication.
Coverage area of Remote Control Unit RMU-01
The internal antenna of the RMU-01 emits a strong circular-pattern RF signal centered on the antenna axis. 2.4 GHz band radio wave
propagation is highly linear and not easily deflected. When people or objects are present in the path between the remote control unit
and transmitter, reception field strength may decrease drastically. Always try to install the RMU-01 so that a direct line of sight can be
established from the wireless microphone or transmitter.
Note
The maximum number of RMU-01 units in a single network system is nine, but increasing the number of RMU-01 units will not increase
the number of transmitters that can be used. Regardless of the number of RMU-01 units, the maximum number of transmitters is 82 per
system.
The radius of the area where RF signals are strong is about 10
meters, centered on the antenna. When using multiple RMU-
01 units to enlarge the coverage area, these concentric areas
should overlap.
Antenna
(inside the casing)
1) Radius: approx. 10 m (33 feet)
2) Front side (the side with SONY logo)
When installing multiple RMU-01 units, place them so that strong
signal area touches that of adjacent RMU-01 unit.
Installation example 1 (plane view)
When two RMU-01 units are installed to control the body-
pack transmitter that is worn around the waist of a person, it
is recommended that the RMU-01 units be placed across the
body-pack transmitter so that there is no obstacle between the
transmitter and at least one of the RMU-01 units.

2) Transmitter worn around the waist of a person
Installation example 2 (plane view)
To increase the total operation area by putting the areas
that multiple RMU-01 units cover together, place them so that
the area that one RMU-01 covers touches those on others,
completely adjacent and with no gaps.
1) RMU-01
2) Transmitter
Installation example 3 (section view)
This is an example when this unit is installed to the microphone
stand.
Indoors:
Because the signal is reflected from the walls, floor, and
ceiling, there are no conditions for the installation height of
this unit.
Outdoors:
Install this unit at the same height as the transmitters.
