Electro-Voice RE3-ACC-AASP 2-in x 8-out Antenna Splitter 470-960MHz

Engineered for professional RF deployments, the Electro-Voice RE3-ACC-AASP is an active 2-in x 8-out antenna splitter designed to deliver clean, reliable signal distribution across multi-receiver systems. Covering 470–960 MHz, this unit is purpose-built for environments where multiple receivers must operate in harmony with a pair of antennas, delivering strong, consistent performance while simplifying power management and system expansion. Whether you’re lighting up a live event, outfitting a broadcast studio, or equipping a large venue with wireless microphone and in-ear monitoring networks, the RE3-ACC-AASP provides the versatility, isolation, and headroom you need to maintain optimal RF clarity and reliability.

• Active 2-in x 8-out distribution that splits two antennas into four diversity receivers, enabling robust signal reliability in crowded RF environments and ensuring consistent performance across all connected receivers.
• Distributes DC to power four receivers from the splitter, reducing clutter and simplifying power provisioning at the rack or stage while keeping DC power routing localized to the distribution hub.
• Selectable booster feed for powering active antennas and boosters, allowing you to tailor gain to your installation and maintain high signal integrity even in challenging venues or long cable runs.
• Additional cascade output per antenna allows stacking splitters without sacrificing the 2x8 function, providing scalable expansion paths as your system grows without compromising performance.
• Rugged, professional-grade design with careful RF isolation, low insertion loss, and high isolation between channels—ideal for touring, broadcast facilities, houses of worship, corporate AV deployments, and education venues that demand dependable, repeatable results.

how to install Electro-Voice RE3-ACC-AASP

Setting up the RE3-ACC-AASP is straightforward for RF technicians and experienced AV engineers. Follow these practical steps to ensure a clean, reliable installation that maximizes performance and future-proofing:

• Plan your antenna and receiver layout. Identify the two antenna sources and the eight receiver destinations, considering best practices for RF path length, cable quality, and potential interference sources.
• Mount or rack the RE3-ACC-AASP in a well-ventilated enclosure or equipment rack, ensuring stable mechanical support and adequate airflow to prevent overheating during long sessions.
• Connect the two antennas to the 2-in ports using high-quality 50-ohm coax cables. Maintain proper impedance matching to minimize reflections and insertion loss, and route cables away from high-power lines and EMI sources.
• Attach the eight receiver connections to the 8-out ports. If your setup uses diversity pairs, align the corresponding receivers with the two-antenna inputs to preserve diversity performance across the network.
• Power the unit using the provided DC power supply or an equivalent compatible source. Verify that DC power is properly distributed to all connected receivers as intended.
• Configure the booster feed as required by your antennas and boosters. This enables or disables the booster path to optimize gain, ensuring a clean signal with appropriate headroom for each device in the chain.
• Utilize the cascade outputs to add additional RE3-ACC-AASP units if your system requires more outputs or a more complex distribution. Cascading preserves the 2x8 capability while enabling scalable growth.
• Test the system comprehensively. Check RF signal levels at each receiver, confirm station maintenance across diversity channels, and adjust booster gain to achieve the best balance between signal strength and noise.
• Secure all cables and label connections for easy maintenance. Ensure the installation meets local safety standards and the equipment remains accessible for routine checks.
