MAT 288 is a programmable diversity matrix combiner. This unique device allows to combining RF coming from 8 areas (a couple of diversity feed) on the fly thanks to a matrix of solid state switches. It is designed to have the greatest reliability, with redundant power supply (AC and DC, DC optional). All operations can be remote with Ethernet. Typical applications are a production center where a control room has to work with several STUDIOs also at the same time or a THEATRE that needs time to time to combine main stage, foyer or lobby. Also your ENG or OB-Van facility will benefit this freedom to manage different RF areas. This flexibility along with the possibility to work in wideband allows also an easy deployment of your wireless audio infrastructure and also to optimize your overall CAPEX (i.e. sharing resources like wireless microphones).
