Brookstown United Methodist Church in Pfafftown, NC was recently outfitted with a new wireless system infrastructure upgrade employing a variety of RF Venue components, including a white Diversity Fin antenna, DISTRO9 HDR RF distribution amplifier, two BPF530T590 band-pass filters, and recently introduced WRG8X50 coaxial cabling.
The project, undertaken by Church Interiors Audio & Video (CiAV), which is based in nearby Winston-Salem, NC, not only updates the church’s wireless capabilities but also helped solve existing RF interference and reception pattern issues caused by the use of multiple wireless receivers, each with their own antennas.
“Any time you have multiple RF receivers, interference issues can kick in, and setting the D-Fin antenna higher up in the building went a long way to resolving that,” says Wayne McKinney, systems design/sales, church division, CiAV. “Also, we had the white Diversity Fin so it was less visible higher up and blended into the ceiling above the FOH booth nicely, for a cleaner look. And the two BPF530T590 band-pass filters are applied to the top and bottom of the signal, which keeps it totally clear from any cell phones in attendance.
“We use RF Venue products for everything wireless,” he concludes. “They’re reliable and cost effective, and they just work.”
