WirelessSystemBuilder.com by RF Venue is a new free tool for matching compatible wireless microphone and in-ear monitor systems to available white space spectrum at any location in the US.
The app uses a daily-updated FCC database connection and a proprietary recommendation engine to provide a list of systems across major manufacturers with RF Venue Essentials.
The recommended devices are based on the amount of open spectrum at the location weighed against the tuning range of available mic or IEM systems. Wireless System Builder saves system designers, sales reps, and end users of wireless systems time by delivering a full range of product options in seconds, while reducing the risk of specifying a wireless mic or in-ear monitor with limited available tuning range at the project location. You can try it here!
Wireless System Builder also takes the guesswork out of accessory selection by providing a compatible list of RF Venue Essential antennas, distros, and combiners to accommodate systems up to 16 channels. The result is a customizable report that can be shared via link, PDF, or email.
Designed to be the starting point for designing wireless systems, WirelessSystemBuilder.com is free to use and does not require an account, login, or email signup.
While there are many types of interference that can cause problems for wireless microphones and in-ear monitors (IEMs), digital television transmitters (DTV stations) are what crowds out spectrum the most in the critical 470-608 MHz band in the US:
With more devices competing for less available spectrum, not only has operating wireless systems become more difficult, but navigating the pre-sale experience has become a maze of model numbers and frequency bands. WirelessSystemBuilder.com does not recommend one manufacturer or product ahead of any other, it simply does all the research for you to determine which will have the most open tuning range at your project location. The app is so easy and quick to use, you can build a system on the fly in under thirty seconds, no more complicated frequency tables, clumsy TV databases, or waiting on support tickets.
Wireless System Builder joins a growing suite of online tools by RF Venue for managing wireless microphone and in-ear monitor projects, including the popular Wireless Performance Calculator, which analyzes antennas, cable runs, and other system elements to estimate overall system performance.
