Important!
The PS 4000 is an antenna splitter for setting up UHF multichannel systems with up to four SR 4000
receivers per antenna splitter. (Note that the number of channels you can actually operate simultaneous-
ly depends on local frequency plans.)
The PS 4000 features two rear panel antenna inputs for connecting either SRA 1 passive antennas or SRA
2B or RA 4000 B active antennas with built-in boosters. Each antenna input provides a 12 VDC supply
voltage for powering up to three active antenna components, e.g., one active antenna and two AB 4000
antenna boosters. Also located on the rear panel are two sets of four antenna output connectors for up
to four SR 4000 diversity receivers and two additional antenna outputs for feeding the antenna signal to
several additional PS 4000 antenna splitters.
The PS 4000 is housed in a 1 U, half-rack case so you can mount two antenna splitters in a single rack
space.
The PS 4000 can be powered by the included power supply. For systems with more than four channels,
we recommend using an optional PSU 4000 central power supply for three antenna splitters each.
Both the antenna boosters and the antenna splitter are wideband devices for the entire UHF band of the
WMS 4000 system.
The antenna splitter front panel provides the following controls and indicators:
ON/OFF: Press this key to switch power to the unit ON. Press again to switch power to the unit OFF.
ANTENNA A, ANTENNA B: The blue OK LED will be lit for as long as the ANTENNA A IN/ANTENNA B
IN input provides the correct supply voltage for active components.
Should the supply voltage at an input be shorted or fail (drop below 2 V) the OK LED for that input will
extinguish and the red ERROR LED be lit instead.
The two OK LEDs do NOT indicate the operating status of the connected antenna booster and there-
fore will not go out when you disconnect an antenna cable.
CLA: The round plate with the AKG logo covers a bank of three DIP switches for matching the antenna
inputs (ANTENNA A IN, ANTENNA B IN) to the length of the connected cable run.
The PS 4000 rear panel provides the following inputs and outputs:
DC IN 12 V/2A: Input jack for the standard power supply or optional PSU 4000 central power supply.
ANTENNA A IN, ANTENNA B IN: BNC input connectors for SRA 1, SRA 2 B, or RA 4000 B remote anten-
nas. Since the SR 4000 is a diversity receiver you will need two receiving antennas (optional). Each
antenna input provides a 12 VDC supply voltage for an active antenna.
ANTENNA A OUT TO SR: The four BNC connectors 1A through 4A deliver the antenna signals for the A
inputs of up to four SR 4000 diversity receivers. All unused outputs are electrically terminated auto-
matically.
ANTENNA B OUT TO SR: The four BNC connectors 1B through 4B deliver the antenna signals for the
B inputs of up to four SR 4000 diversity receivers. All unused outputs are electrically terminated auto-
matically.
In addition to the antenna signals, outputs 1A through 4A and 1B through 4B provide a 12 VDC sup-
ply voltage for the connected SR 4000 receivers.
The only way to ensure that outputs 1A through 4B will provide sufficient current to power the
connected receivers is to connect the antenna splitter to an optional PSU 4000 central power
supply.
If you power the PS 4000 antenna splitter from its standard power supply, make sure to power
each receiver from its own standard power supply, too. If you connect receivers to the antenna
splitter without connecting each receiver to a power supply and AC power, the antenna split-
ter's standard power supply may be damaged due to overload.

LINK A TO PS, LINK B TO PS: These two BNC outputs carry the RF signal of the two antennas A and
B. You can connect the LINK outputs to the antenna inputs of another PS 4000 antenna splitter to
daisy-chain several antenna splitters.
Note that you will need one optional PSU 4000 central power supply each to power three PS 4000
antenna splitters.
The PSU 4000 central power supply delivers a 12 VDC, 2 A secondary voltage for powering three
PS 4000 antenna splitters and the receivers (12 max.) connected to the antenna splitters. For details refer
to the PSU 4000 user manual.
One passive directional antenna, one active directional antenna, and one active omnidirectional antenna
are available for the PS 4000 antenna system. All antennas are wideband devices for the entire
WMS 4000 UHF band.
The active antennas are powered by the PS 4000 antenna splitter via the antenna cables. For complex
systems with long antenna cables, we recommend powering each active antenna from a PSU 4000 cen-
tral power supply via an ASU 4000 remote power adapter.
The SRA1 is a remote UHF antenna with a hypercardioid polar pattern. The SRA1 will even operate per-
fectly as close to the floor or ceiling as 15 cm (6 in.). For details, refer to the SRA 1 User Manual.
The SRA 2 B is an active directional antenna with a rugged, water-resistant case designed specifically for
indoor and outdoor use at a distance from the performance area. An integrated high-performance anten-
na booster allows you to position the antenna up to 100 m (330 ft.) away from the receiver. Using RG213
antenna cables and two AB 4000 antenna boosters in series, you can set up the SRA 2 B even 200 m
(660 ft.) away from the receiver.
The antenna provides a BNC output, status LED, and integrated stand adapter. An optional laser point-
er makes it easy to align the antenna precisely with the performance area.
The RA 4000 B is an active omnidirectional antenna with a rugged, water-resistant case designed specif-
ically for indoor and outdoor use in close proximity to the performance area. An integrated high-per-
formance antenna booster allows you to position the antenna up to 100 m (330 ft.) away from the receiv-
er. Using RG213 antenna cables and two AB 4000 antenna boosters in series, you can set up the SRA 2 B
even 200 m (660 ft.) away from the receiver.
The antenna provides a BNC output, status LED, and integrated stand adapter.

and fig. 6.
Fig. 6: Wiring a single-channel

Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other people may
weaken or cancel the direct transmitter signal. For best results, place the antennas as follows:
1. Place the antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the transmitter will
never get any closer to the antennas than 16 ft. (5 m). Place the two antennas at least 8 inches. (20 cm)
from each other.
2. There should always be a direct line of sight between the transmitter and antennas.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal objects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
4. Do not place antennas in wall recesses.
5. Place antennas at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any equipment that may emit RF radiation such as light-
ing racks, fluorescent lamps, digital effects units, or PCs.
6. If you set up two antennas side by side (e.g., for diversity reception), check that the two antennas are
spaced at least 20 cm (8 in.) apart.
When mounting the antennas on floor stands, be sure to proceed as
follows:
1. Use the supplied SA 63 or the integrated stand adapter to mount
the antenna on the boom of a boom stand.
2. Pull the boom out all the way to one side to make sure the
antenna will be at least 28 inches (70 cm) away from the stand.
3. Extend the stand high enough to place the boom at least 6 ft.
(1.8 m) above the floor.
4. Wind the antenna cable around the boom. Do not allow the cable
to sag below the boom because this may degrade the reception
quality.
If you mount your antennas on a wall or ceiling, be sure to keep the following minimum distances:
1. Mount the antenna at least 10 cm (4 in.) in front of and at a min-
imum lateral distance of 50 cm (20 in.) from any walls or other
plane surfaces, metal grids, or metal scaffolding.
2. Make sure the antenna will sit at least 15 cm (6 in.) above the
floor or 50 cm (20 in.) from the ceiling (or 15 cm (6 in.) if you route
the cable to the antenna from above).
For a single-channel system, you need no antenna splitter. Connect the antennas to the receiver directly.
1. Measure the cable run between the SR 4000 receiver and each SRA 1 antenna.
2. Refer to Table 1 on page 17 to find out whether you will need to break the cable run down into sev-
eral cables and insert one or two AR 4000 antenna boosters. Table 1 states the maximum acceptable
cable lengths for RG58 and RG213 cables separately.
3. Connect an antenna cable to each antenna.

3. Connect an antenna cable to each antenna.
4. Referring to Table 1, connect each antenna to one or two AB 4000 antenna boosters (if necessary),
an ASU 4000 remote power adapter, and to the appropriate antenna input on the SR 4000 receiver.
5. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the power supplies for the two ASU 4000s and the
receiver is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use your system. Using
the power supplies with a different AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
6. Connect the remote power adapters and the receiver to their respective power supplies and connect
each power supply to a convenient power outlet.
For wiring examples for multichannel systems, refer to figs. 10 through 13 on page 59.
When setting up a multichannel system, remember the following points:
1. You can connect up to four SR 4000 receivers to each PS 4000 antenna splitter.
If you power both the antenna splitter and the receivers from their respective standard power sup-
plies, make absolutely sure to connect the receiver power supplies to AC power before connect-
ing the antenna splitter power supply to AC power.
Connecting the antenna splitter to power first may cause damage to the antenna splitter power
supply due to the load presented by the receivers.
2. For large systems with up to 50 channels you can daisy-chain the required number of antenna split-
ters:
•Connect the LINK outputs on the first antenna splitter to the ANTENNA IN connectors on the next
antenna splitter and so on.
•We recommend powering large systems from optional PSU 4000 central power supplies for three
antenna splitters and four receivers each.
3. Each antenna input on the antenna splitter is capable of powering a maximum of three active com-
ponents (e.g., RA 4000 B + 2 x AB 4000) via the antenna cables.
In the following cases you will need an ASU 4000 remote power adapter to power active components
(each ASU 4000 is capable of powering up to three active components, too):
•The cable run from the antenna splitter to an active component is long enough to reduce the sup-
ply voltage below the acceptable minimum.
•Adevice (e.g., an antenna combiner*) in the line between the PS 4000 and an active component
interrupts the DC supply voltage across the antenna cable.
* The ZAPD 21 antenna combiner from Mini Circuit feeds the supply voltage through. Similar
devices from other manufacturers may not do so.
•You have used an antenna combiner to connect two antenna lines to the same antenna input. If
you use three or more active components in one antenna line, insert an ASU 4000 remote power
adapter between the antenna combiner and the first of the active components. If the number of
active components in both lines totals more than three, be sure to insert an ASU 4000 remote
power adapter into each line. The remote power adapter prevents the antenna splitter power sup-
ply from being overloaded.

3 Getting Started
3.6 CLA Switch BankThe RF signal level at each antenna input on the antenna splitter(s) depends on the frequency band,
antenna type, cable type, and cable length.
To ensure optimum signal level at the antenna input, set the CLA switches on each antenna booster and
on the antenna splitter(s) as shown in Table 1 below.
1. Remove the cover of the CLA switch bank.
2. Set the three DIP switches as required for your frequency band, antenna model, cable type, and cable
length.
3. Replace the cover.
