Lectro UMCWB for bag use

[Jack Norflus]

+1 on the 4 way version

[Dani Fontrodona]

The current pre-production unit is operating wide band......450Mhz to 950Mhz. Production units will be 470Mhz to 720Mhz

Ron, great compact design!

But I think you might be missing some of the foreign market by cutting down to 720Mhz. I would be interested in a unit working up to 865Mhz for my use in Spain, Germany, France and Portugal.

Thanks.

hello

a question for larry if ok, i will eventually split 4 ways but at the moment in this bag set up i have a lectro passive 2 way splitter

i was going to get a UFM50 to cover blocks 23 and 24, i belive the loss of a 2 way splitter will be 3db, if i set the ufm for the 5db gain will this cause any problems with the extra 2 db in a two way splitter?, the 2 way will be feeding 2 x SRA receivers.

Many Thanks

For any advice

Hi Richard,

The extra two dB is not enough to cause problems but I would recommend not even using an amplifier and just living with the 3 dB in loss. It is small enough to get into the negligible territory unless you are in a very quiet (RF wise) environment and you need extreme range. Remember, the splitter attenuates noise as well as the desired signal. In an urban environment, the 3 dB of loss won't be detectable. If you have the usual interference on the set, you won't be able to tell, either. I would add the amp when you go 4 way and have 6 dB of loss.

Best Regards,

I'd love to consolidate my antenna distro setup into that one little box. I'm curious to see a performance comparison. Based on the specs, it looks like it'll do just fine up against something like this.

...thinking the same way but "from bag to cart", wouldn't there be a way to connect 2 (or 3-4-5-6) UCR411s into a Venue rack so the receivers just take advantage of Venue's antenna capabilities ? I mean, using the antennas inputs at the back of the units, usually used to link Venue racks together ?

This way, if I already own two 411s, I could buy a Venue rack plus two modules to put into it and link my 411s to have four receivers using the same antennas and the cart ? If, as time goes by during production the need for two more kits arises, I simply buy two modules plus two transmitters... bottom line, I still got my bag system with two 411s and a light version of Venue rack to complete things for cart gigs (in one block or even three different blocks of freqs).

" a way to make connections to fit 2 (or 3-4-5-6) UCR411s into a Venue rack "

no (practical) way!

[Boomboom]

Just checked again and more in details on the website while you were answering... indeed, no practical way but maybe a way using the modules connections inside the rack ? A "custom" way I mean...

At first, looking at a picture of the rack on a retailer website, I thought the "out" connections went to the antennas while the "in" connections were to use from another rack to link'em together... that was too easy !

On another thread, Larry gives a way to plug it together ; you simply add the 411s at the OUT connectors from the Venue rack... (just for the record if eventually somebody'sd having a good try with Search)
