Zaxcom MicPlexer 3

The MicPlexer 3 is a versatile RF filter and amplifier designed to deliver enhanced frequency coverage and superior RF performance. It features a continuously tunable bandpass filter with a 50 MHz tuning window, providing precise control with 2 MHz step tuning. This flexibility allows users to fine-tune their signal reception while minimizing interference. The variable output level control ensures optimal signal strength, and the integrated RF overload protection safeguards your equipment from potentially damaging high-RF environments. The unit's design is perfect for scenarios where strong RF rejection and stable amplification are crucial, such as professional audio setups, broadcasting, or RF distribution networks.

With an operating range of 470-665 MHz and 745-965 MHz, the MicPlexer 3 strategically omits the 666-744 MHz band to avoid interference from licensed mobile device frequencies. Its steep attenuation filters out unwanted signals, maintaining clean transmission and reception. The built-in amplifier boasts a low noise figure of 0.35 dB and an impressive OIP3 of +34 dB, ensuring strong, clear output even in challenging RF environments. The unit supports two amplification channels with four outputs, offering adjustable gain settings tailored to specific frequency bands. Additionally, its SMA antenna inputs and intuitive overload indicators make setup and monitoring straightforward, ensuring reliable performance in any RF distribution system.
