RCAS™

Remote Control Audio System

Q5X transmitters are part of the RCAS™ (Remote Control Audio System) that allows you to make on-the-fly adjustments to the transmitter by remotely controlling all transmitter functions.

 

Developed for the NBA

RCAS™ technology, developed in 2006 for the NBA, has since become popular in sports arenas and world leading theatrical venues.

Share the Spectrum

By turning on and off groups of transmitters, and changing their frequencies, it is possible to reuse one receiver (and one frequency) with multiple transmitters used at different times in a performance. For Radio City Music Hall, in RF congested New York City, only 80 usable frequencies were available. So 40 two channel receivers are shared by 300 transmitters.

RCAS™ Gateways

The RCAS™ Gateways (handheld MicCommander or network) communicate with the transmitters via a 2.4GHz control channel that will operate through clothing, walls and over long distances.

  • Required vs. optional
  • Range of 50m/165ft
  • All functionality
  • Manages up to 32 transmitters
  • Computer interface option expands to 100 transmitters

Custom

Give us a challenge. We created the PlayerMic at the request of the NBA, we created this TapShoeMic at the request of the Radio City Music Hall. We have created 24h mics on Buoys and mics built into golf hole cups.
