The AD8C 8-port combiner streamlines the use of multiple Axient Digital PSM systems at any venue. It combines the RF outputs from up to eight different Axient Digital PSM transmitters into one output to feed a single transmit antenna. The AD8C can also combine the RF from up to four Axient Digital PSM transmitters to feed two transmit antennas to support Spatial Diversity. The Shure AD8C enables signal gain compensation with ADTQ or ADTD Axient Digital PSM transmitters, which helps defend against combiner-level loss.
The AD8C is an 8-port passive antenna combiner for Axient Digital PSM with selectable 8:1 or 2x 4:1 modes. In 8:1 mode, it combines up to eight RF inputs to a single RF output. In 2x 4:1 mode, it divides the combiner into two sections, each combining up to four RF inputs to a single RF output.
An Ethernet switch supports remote control and firmware updates, while a DC module version is available to support redundant power. The AD8C is designed for use with Axient Digital PSM wireless systems and provides flexible RF combining for installations using single or dual transmit antenna configurations.
