Wisycom MRK16 – Multi Slot Rack Unit

The Wisycom MRK16 – Multi Slot Rack Unit is a modular wireless-microphone receiver system that fit up 16 channels in a compact 19” 1RU aluminium chassis. It accepts up to 4 MCR54 receivers, providing antenna distribution, RF filtering and advanced audio routing (analogue, AES3 and Dante).

Features:

• Up to 16 true diversity channels in a 1U rack
• Daisy chain up to 4 racks for 64 channels in only 4u
• Multiple audio output options; dual Dante, digital AES72 and AES59 and analogue
• Bluetooth 5 long range class 1 remote control which has 100mW instead of 1 to 3mW like most competitors over 100m range
• Ultra-wideband receiver system from 470 to 1260 MHz
• Dual area matrix; two discrete diversity zones selectable from the front panel or in Wisycom Manager software
• RF over Fibre option for ultra-long distance reception and internal SFP port for gigabit data connection
• RF inputs with 13 band pass filters automatically selected based upon the upper and lower frequency limit tuned into the receivers
• Remote control of Wisycom LFA/ADFA antennas to tune gain and frequency selection
• Dual redundant DC power input
• Multiple PoE options to power the rack or provide power to external devices such as WiFi access points and USB-C with DC feed for control and charging
