RF Distribution — 2:1 linear active combiner

Two HF transmitters,
one antenna, linear.

The LAC-21 is a linear active combiner built to sum up to two HF transmitters (1–50 mW per port) into a common antenna across 100–800 MHz. Selectable gain (0 / +3 dB / user position), low intermodulation, locking push-pull power connector, recyclable aluminum housing. Made in France.

Highlights

Very wide bandwidth

From 100 to 800 MHz: VHF IEMs, professional HF links, émetteurs de caméra, régie inter-com. Un seul combiner TX pour les configurations les plus variées.

100 – 800 MHz · VHF + UHF

Linear amplifiers

Linear architecture to minimise intermodulation at the output: you sum two TX without generating spurs at neighbouring frequencies.

Linear · low IMD

Selectable gain

Three-position switch: 0 dB (filtered pass-through), +3 dB (loss compensation), and a user position set by a solder jumper on the PCB for specific needs.

0 / +3 / user · jumper PCB

Boost a single TX

One transmitter at the input + user position set: the LAC-21 becomes an amplification stage, useful to lift a struggling link without changing the primary transmitter.

1 TX in · up to 100 mW

Push-pull power connector

Locking power connector: no accidental disconnect in the control room or on stage, no mid-recording surprise.

Locking · field-grade

Recyclable aluminum

Machined/extruded aluminum housing: strength, thermal dissipation, longevity — with a material footprint consistent with the rest of the BSRF range.

Use cases

HF stage emission

Sum two HF transmitters into a single antenna

Two HF boosters talent + control, one directional antenna in the grid. The LAC-21's linear architecture avoids generating troublesome spurs on neighbouring channels.

VHF / UHF IEMs

Centralize two ear-monitor lines

Two IEM transmitters on neighbouring bands, cleanly combined, broadcast through a single helix antenna. Gain adjusted to match antenna cable loss.

Single-channel booster

Lift a struggling HF link

User position set to +6 dB (PCB jumper), one input used: the LAC-21 acts as an intermediate amplification stage between the TX and the antenna.
