Audix R61KIT - True Diversity Performance Series Wireless Receiver
The Audix R61KIT represents excellence in professional wireless audio transmission, sitting at the heart of the brand's acclaimed Performance Series . Designed for users who cannot afford signal drops or technical complications, this True Diversity receiver offers superior RF stability and crystal-clear sound quality. Its robust architecture and advanced features make it the perfect foundation for setting up a custom wireless microphone system, allowing the "interchangeable microphone" user to choose the handheld or bodypack transmitter that best suits their specific needs.
One of the R61's greatest strengths is its impressive 64 MHz tuning bandwidth , providing exceptional flexibility in congested RF environments. With access to 2,560 tunable frequencies and 207 pre-coordinated frequencies, this system ensures you'll always find a clean, interference-free channel. True Diversity technology, which utilizes two antennas and two independent receiver sections, ensures the unit automatically switches to the antenna with the best signal, virtually eliminating audio dropouts, even at considerable distances of up to 137 meters .
Ease of use is paramount in the design of the R61KIT. Thanks to its auto-scan and one-touch synchronization features, setup takes seconds, not minutes. The receiver scans the spectrum, locates an available frequency, and instantly links to the transmitter via an infrared beam. All of this is housed in a rugged and durable metal chassis, ready for rack mounting, making it ideal for both fixed installations and demanding touring environments.

Benefits for the user
The Audix R61KIT is designed to provide technical peace of mind . For the sound engineer or musician, the main benefit is confidence: knowing that the signal won't drop out at the climax of the performance. Furthermore, its modular flexibility allows you to invest in a high-end receiver and combine it with different microphones (transmitters) as the needs of the event change, whether it's a dynamic capsule for powerful vocals or a bodypack system for instruments.
The inclusion of the rack mounting kit and BNC cables for front antenna mounting adds immense value, facilitating a clean and professional installation in standard audio cabinets from day one, without the need to purchase extra accessories.
Use cases
-
Live stages and tours: Ideal for bands and vocalists who require total mobility on large stages thanks to its 137-meter reach.
-
Corporate installations and conferences: Perfect for auditoriums where multiple wireless microphones are needed to operate simultaneously without frequency conflicts.
-
Places of worship: Provides voice clarity for speakers and worship leaders with a simple setup for technical volunteers.
-
School theaters and auditoriums: Its robustness and ease of synchronization make it suitable for dynamic educational and artistic environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the R61KIT include a microphone?
No, this product is the wireless receiver (base) with its mounting accessories. It is designed to be paired with the Audix transmitter (handheld or bodypack) that the user prefers or already owns.
-
What does "True Diversity" mean?
This means the receiver has two internal tuners and two antennas. The system constantly compares the signal from both and instantly uses the best one, preventing sound interruptions if one antenna momentarily loses reception.
-
Can it be mounted in a standard audio rack?
Yes, the R61KIT includes the necessary hardware for 19-inch rack mounting, occupying 1 unit of height (or half a unit if mounted alone).
-
How many R61 systems can I use at once?
Thanks to its 64 MHz bandwidth and precision filters, it can operate up to 24 systems simultaneously in the same space.
