Wisycom Introduces New SPL2216 and SPL2208 Active Combiner/Splitters at NAB 2019

2200 Series Features Dual Inputs with 16- and Eight-Channel Outputs

LAS VEGAS, MARCH 28, 2019 –
Wisycom will present its new 2200 Series (SPL2216 and SPL2208)
Active Combiner/Splitters at NAB 2019 (Booth C856), which feature 16- and eight-
diversity channel outputs, respectively. As the next
generation of antenna distribution multi-couplers, Wisycom’s new 2200 Series improves
wireless microphone workflows. The system’s
diversity and linking features make it ideal for applications with distributed
antenna systems, such as talk shows, awards shows, live sports broadcasts and
other televised entertainment events.

With multiple receivers fed via diversity
antennas or through Wisycom’s MAT288 Antenna Matrix, the new 2200 Series’ multi-couplers
add gain and input for either two coverage zones or multiple MAT288s. This is
the industry’s first-ever multi-coupler with multiple inputs and double the
outputs, up to 16 receivers or 32 channels from one 2216, as well as remote
control of Wisycom’s BFA and LFA antenna products through coax cable.

“As with all Wisycom products, the
SPL2216/2208 features a wide frequency range (170-1240MHz) and a high level of
robustness and linearity, for use in high-density frequency arrangements,” says
Massimo Polo, sales & marketing director, Wisycom. “The device additionally
serves as a resource for diagnostics information from antennas via a coax
connection to the Wisycom Remote Antenna Protocol. This feature allows the user
to monitor and control boosters and antennas within the network in real-time
via an IP network using Wisycom Manager 2.0, the latest version of our
proprietary wireless remote-control interface.”

Using the new combiner/splitter,
broadcasters can combine or select signals from up to two (2×2 diversity)
antenna inputs to feed 16×2 (SPL2216) or 8×2 (SPL2208) diversity outputs. By
connecting two units, the system can be set up in a cascading arrangement that
covers up to four zones to feed as many as 32 receivers. The SPL2216/2208 can
be controlled with the simple push of a button, or through Wisycom Manager,
allowing for a quick and easy matrix selection between two diversity inputs. It
also offers a redundant DC supply, which ensures the system will encounter no
loss of power.
