Sennheiser supports the use of distributed antenna systems with a range of high-specification antenna combiners to allow wireless microphone coverage over multiple rooms and large or complex sites. With the increasing demand for “zone” systems in various situations including large churches, broadcast installations, outdoor sporting events and reality TV shows, Sennheiser‘s engineers have used this expertise to develop the ACA 3, a compact and easy to deploy 2 x 4:1 antenna combiner compatible with all analog and digital Sennheiser wireless stationary receivers operating in the supported frequency range of 470 to 798 MHz.
2 x 4:1 combiner at unity gain
Switchable DC supplied on each antenna input for head amps or active antennas, e.g. AB 3, AB 3700, A12AD, AB 9000
RF from each of the eight antenna inputs is switchable to isolate unused antennas
LEDs indicate input state; RF on, DC on and DC current overload (e.g. faulty ‘short circuit‘ antenna cable)
CONSUMER ALERT FOR WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEMS
Most users do not need a license to operate a wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating a microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at
