Lectrosonics VRM VENUE Rack Mount Receiver Chassis (Wideband Mid Blocks 21-29)
Price is for a Master Host Chassis only.
The Venue Series Receiver Systems are of a modular UHF design that operates with Digital Hybrid Wireless® transmitters, and a variety of analog transmitters. Each unit consists of a master host assembly and up to six plug-in receiver modules. The system includes an antenna multi-coupler, computer communications interface and the mechanical rack mounting for the receiver modules.
The design offers a tremendous degree of flexibility. For example, each of the three pairs of receiver modules can be combined and used for ratio diversity or frequency diversity reception. Each individual receiver module can be used by itself for phase switched diversity reception. Combinations of reception techniques can be used at the same time.

The Venue Receiver is a modular solution that effectively deals with a congested RF spectrum with a variety of options that allows a system configuration to be idealized for a particular installation or application. The receiver is comprised of several components:
• The master rack mount host assembly
• Up to six receiver modules
• Built-in antenna multicoupler with loop-thru output
• LecNet2 software for setup and control
Flexibility is the core concept of the design. The receiver modules can be operated separately, each with switched diversity reception for a total of six audio channels, or operated in pairs for more robust diversity reception with one audio channel per module pair. Combinations can also be used for special applications where some modules operate independently and others are paired.
The receiver modules are easy to change with no tools required. The wideband multicoupler allows the use of any frequency module in any position, except when modules are paired, they must be in adjacent positions as marked on the panel.
A major benefit of the design is the inclusion of a high quality antenna multicoupler. The multicoupler is actually a 1 in, 7 out splitter with six outputs for the receiver modules and an additional output as a “loop thru” for another Venue receiver. This allows multiple Venue receivers to operate from a single pair of antennas. Phantom power for remote antenna amplifiers is available from the multicoupler antenna inputs using internal jumpers.
