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.

Important:

• There must be an unobstructed path between the micro-

phone 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].
