Morgan Sound conquers distance and wiring obstacles with RF Venue’s RF PA

— The RF Venue RF PA Extension Kit streamlined setup for Morgan Sound by eliminating 200-foot taped-down wiring runs for satellite speakers and wirelessly delivering high-quality audio with easily adjustable delay for time alignment while improving attendee safety, all without impacting visual aesthetics —

Walpole, MA, USA, May 28, 2026 — The RF Venue RF PA Extension Kit was recently used to simplify the setup for a challenging corporate event by Morgan Sound, a full-service production company based in Lynnwood, WA, since 1969. Also offering gear sales and rentals, and a multifaceted integrator with previous successful installations of RF Venue Architectural Series antennas, Morgan Sound worked with RF Venue Sales Director Adam Brass and Director of Technical Customer Support Clayton Young to arrange a test of the RF PA Extension Kit to wirelessly feed satellite loudspeakers for use when running physical wiring is time and labor consuming, difficult or even impossible.

“Our specific first use case was a corporate show that needed one main room to feed a secondary room, which both then needed to be able to feed (at varying times) a distributed system of speakers on stands scattered throughout a lobby pre-function area,” recalls Morgan Sound project manager Kristopher Schmitt. “The problems we faced included the distance between the various FOH locations for each room and the lobby delay speakers – well over 200 feet each.”

No wired connections between rooms were available in the venue, and there was little to no clearance under doors. Additionally, the client did not want cable paths crossing walkways in the lobby.

In previous productions at the venue, lengthy and bulky install-grade cables had to be run through staff access areas and under the few doors with clearance, meaning “lots of cable taped down on the floor,” says Schmitt. A wireless monitor system designed for IEMs had been used for wireless point-to-point connections, with only unbalanced 3.5mm headphone jacks for connectivity, and no available delay to time-align speakers.

Using the RF Venue PA Extension Kit, room #1 had a wired back-hallway feed to room #2, the RF PA transmitter was set up at room #2 FOH, and two RF PA receivers were used in the lobby to feed two speaker zones. The delay for each zone was set at the zone’s receiver to time align the speakers – connected via balanced, line-level XLRs – with satellite speakers at the room #2 entrance. The RF PA receivers were “mounted directly to the zone speakers – super clean,” says Schmitt, “and wireless setup was easy.” The RF PA receivers directly fed one speaker, with additional speakers manageably daisy-chained within the zone with modest cable runs.

“The problems faced in the venue in the past were solved with the RF PA Extension Kit,” says Schmitt. “The venue’s management had their safety and aesthetic concerns addressed and the client had time aligned audio where they needed it for excellent quality. Everyone was happy.”

About the RF PA Extension Kit:
The 1RU rack-mount two-channel RF PA transmitter extends two channels of high-quality audio wirelessly via analog FM in the 470-to-506 MHz UHF band. The transmitter independently accepts two line-level analog input channels and transmits separate RF signals. Hardwired audio pass-throughs leave the primary signal path unchanged.

The single-channel portable RF PA receivers (two are provided in the Kit), powered by 12 VDC from a provided external supply or other 12 VDC source, output line-level audio to feed loudspeakers or other gear. The diversity receivers are IP54 rated with weatherproof connectors for outdoor use. Facilitating use with satellite loudspeakers and delay towers in large venues, the receiver units have up to 800 milliseconds of built-in digital delay to allow time alignment with the main PA’s propagation. Operating frequency and delay can be configured at the receiver or from the transmitter via a 2.4 GHz sync signal. The local-cast transmitter signals can feed as many additional receivers as needed.

Shipping from stock, the RF PA Extension Kit has a MAP of $2,139 (USD). Additional receivers can be purchased individually (MAP $589), and the RF PA 8PACK (MAP $5,349) includes one transmitter and eight receivers.
