Audio-Technica AEW-R5200 Frequency-Agile True Diversity UHF Dual Receiver (Discontinued)

The AEW-R5200 dual receiver offers a choice of 996 frequencies. 25 kHz frequency spacing enables the systems to easily find an open frequency in crowded RF environments. It is equipped with IntelliScan™ automatic channel assignment system, which greatly simplifies the selection of useable frequencies in a multi-channel wireless system and eliminates the need for searching for clear channels. The built-in antenna distribution network allows for a single set of antennas to feed both receivers. Each receiver features true diversity reception with RF inputs feeding two completely independent RF sections. Automatic logic circuitry continuously compares and selects the superior received signal providing better sound quality and reducing the potential for dropouts. A unique Dual Compander design extends the audio bandwidth of the system and an advanced digital Tone Lock™ squelch helps minimize interference. In addition, the Tone Lock signal from the transmitter also conveys information on the transmitter's battery condition, mute status, and transmitter name back to the receiver for display. All receiver functions are accessed via front panel soft-touch controls with lock-out capability to prevent unauthorized access. The receiver's front panel display provides continuous indication of RF signal strength along with the audio modulation level of the received signal.

A standard Ethernet connection is provided to interface the receiver with an external computer control and monitoring package. Designed around an interactive graphical user interface, the Mac-compatible or Windows-compatible software provides remote control and monitoring functions for all networked receivers. Features not often found on other receivers include high pass filter, meter hold function, adjustable squelch, alert indicators on the front panel and 12V DC power on the antenna connections for powered RF accessories. A front panel headphone connection with level control is provided for audio confidence monitoring. Four user- selectable presets allow the ability to store and recall commonly used settings increasing the flexibility of the receiver in multi-use venues.

Designed to operate from mains AC, the dual receiver incorporates a single universal self-selecting internal power supply with standard IEC power connector, eliminating the need for a wall wart. An AC pass-through connector is provided to cascade multiple receivers from a single mains source. Transformer isolated XLR balanced and line outputs with adjustable gain allow the receiver to function with a wide variety of mixers and control equipment. Rear panel BNC-type connectors are provided for the detachable BNC 1/2 wave antennas. The receiver is designed for a standard 1U 19" rack space and includes rack-mount adapters. An external contact-closure provides a control input to mute the receiver's audio output independently from the transmitter mute function.
