ADS48

OVERVIEW

The Audix ADS48 is a wide range UHF antenna distribution system that combines up to
four wireless systems to be able to run off a single pair of antennas and power supply.
The ADS48 has an internal switching power supply which eliminates the need for the
individual DC power supplies normally needed for each receiver. RF signals are internally
amplified in order to compensate for any loss that may result from splitting the signal.

FRONT MOUNTING ANTENNAS (Do this step before installing in rack)

A. Remove the hex nut from the threaded end of the front mount
antenna cable.

B. Insert the end of the front mounting cable through the back side of the
rack hole. Note that the hole is slotted on one side – it can only go in one
way. Screw on the hex nut to secure.

C. Attach the antenna cable on the left side to antenna A INPUT and the
cable on the right side of the unit to antenna B INPUT. Install the ADS48 into
the rack. (See B and F below)

additional receiver(s).

Using the power jumper cables plug one side of the cable into DC Output

Using the BNC antenna coax cable, connect output Antenna
A #1 from the ADS48 (see E above) to Antenna A on the
Performance Series receiver and Antenna B #1 from the ADS48

#1 on the ADS48 (see D above) and the other end to the DCV Input on
the Performance Series receiver. Additional receivers will be done in the
same sequence.

(see C above) to Antenna B on the Performance Series receiver.
Additional receivers are done in exactly the same way.

Power Cable: Plug the provided IEC power cable into the back of the ADS48
and then plug into electrical outlet. (see A above)

IMPORTANT: Antennas must be hooked up correctly A to A
and B to B to work properly.

Power up the ADS48 via the power switch on the front. The light will indicate
that the unit is powered up. The ADS48 acts as the master power unit for all
receivers in the chain. Receivers will not power up without the master power
