RF Control remotely controls up to 48 channels of Sennheiser* and Shure* wireless receivers in one application, side-by-side. The intuitive user interface provides a quick overview of the most vital parameters of your wireless receivers. Dedicated screens have been carefully developed to give you control to parameters that are relevant in a live situation while securing access to the ones that might be harmful to the safety of the system. Following devices are supported by utilizing the manufacturers remote control protocols: Sennheiser: EW-DX, EM 3732*, 2000* series and evolution G3 and G4* wireless receivers. Sennheiser: EM 6000 receivers Shure: ULX-D* Depending on the manufacturer of the receiver RF Control supports monitoring of the most relevant parameters including: - RF level bargraph (all) - AF Level bargraph (all) - Battery status information (all) - Remaining battery time (Shure, EM6000, EW-DX (with Li-Ion battery)) - Device name (all) - EQ type (2000 and ewG3) - Command settings (EM3732COM) - AF Out level (all) - Squelch level (Sennheiser) - Mic Offset (Shure, EM6000, EW-DX) - Lock Status (Shure, EM6000, EWDX) - Encryption Status (Shure, EM6000, EW-DX) - TX Type (Shure, EM 6000, EW-DX) - TX RF Power (Shure) - LQI (EM6000, EW-DX) - Capsule type (EM6000, EW-DX) - Warning indicators (Sennheiser: Low Bat, RX Mute, TX Mute, RF Mute, AF Peak, NoLink, Encryption mismatch) (Shure: Low Bat, Interference, RX Mute, TX Mute, Enrcryption mismatch, AF Peak) A plot of the RF and AF levels is displayed over time, making it the perfect companion for walk tests and spotting dropouts in your audio.
