Important:
• There must be an unobstructed path between the microphone units and the antennae, i.e. between the Quinta CU
control unit or the remote antennae and the microphone units there must not be any obstacles. With a free line of sight
between the control unit and the microphone units and the rod antennae the range is between 30 to 50 m [98.4 ft to 164 ft].
For optimum range the surface of the table is important, wood or plastic tables are ideal, but metal tables can cause interferences
and reduce the range.
• Please make sure that with a free line of sight the minimum distance between the antennae and the microphone units is not
less than 1 m [3.2 ft].
2.3 How to Connect the Antennae
2.3.1 Direct Connection
• Connect the antennae to the antenna connections . Please note that for diversity operation both antennae have to be connected!
A weighting circuit is used to make sure that the better antenna signal is received.
• For stand-alone operation we recommend using the supplied CA Q 11 angled rod antennae.
2.3.2 Remote Connection
• The Quinta CU control unit can also be operated with remote antennae. We recommed extremely low attenuation connecting cables which
are 10 m [32.8 ft] or 20 m [65.6 ft] long. Please note that the antennae have to be installed remotely.
2.2 Where to Place the Control Unit
• If you do not use remote antennae, place the Quinta CU control unit in the room where the meeting takes place. If you use remote
antennae, place the antennae in the conference room.
• Avoid shadowing effect of the antennae, especially by metallic surfaces.
• A free line of sight between the Quinta MU microphone units and the antennae of the Quinta CU control unit is essential for the operation of
the microphone units. Big obstacles in between can possibly affect the radio transmission. In such specific installations the use of remote
antennae can possibly achieve an improvement of the RF situation.
• If you want to install several Quint CU control units in a 19" rack, please make sure that there is a minimum distance of 1 U between the
control units to avoid interferences, especially if you do not use remote antennae.
